In the final segment, Pat notes that being a contestant on the show is an interesting thing. There's a bonding experience between the players who are going through the same thing. Everyone generally roots for each other, but this one really wanted everyone to do well, and everyone got some money. Pat really likes that!

This possibly may have been the dumbest crossword puzzle the show has ever used. Has there ever been a single person, in the history of forever, to say "don't forget your maps"? At least hat was decent, I guess, but in under 30 minutes, I made one that's at least a thousand times better:

The Crossword could've been better, but I guess the combination of words made sense for going to a national park.

Interesting they doubled up on GRIZZLY BEAR(S) in R2 rather than using two different bears.

You have to be kidding that bonus puzzle wasn't solved

We've had a bad stretch since starting 3 for 3 in bonus land.

You know the Crossword Clue’s bad when Pat references match game.

Yes, the correct Mystery wedge was on the opposite spot today from yesterday (near $650). Speaking of which, when are gonna get the first win on that wedge this season?

Who else thought the Final Spin puzzle was THE LONE RANGER with no-letters?

BR: Echoing tenpoundhammer’s comments on this one. This is really getting pathetic (and I got it off RSTLNE too)…

6/10 mainly for the rather close bond between this trio.

The Wyoming trip came from Amtrak Vacations (yes, that’s the same prize from Friday’s episode).

This is why we watch. Not only for the gut punch, but the random acts of insanity that make you cheer for total strangers, the brothers doing "YMCA," or the wife jumping into her husbands arms which led to the greatest ad lib between Pat & Vanna, etc, etc, etc).

There's a reason this show has been on so long.

I'll never quit watching. Hopefully, you won't either.

The gameplay of this episode was OK, but the more notable aspect was the contestants’ support of each other. And it’s a small world considering their hometowns and hobbies (ex. hiking).

I got R2 with just the E’s, but I thought R3 was SAILING with just the N’s and R4, THE FROG PRINCE with no letters. And my guesses for the first two Triple Toss-Ups? I’M TICKLED PINK and GIVE ME A RIDE.

I initially guessed AMAZING for the last word the BR with RSLTNE, but I had it with Ari’s picks. Maybe the D’s would’ve helped him.

My rating: 6

THE Wheel Genius (but not the only one)
