Amber says the standard LOOK MOM I'M ON TV! to start the night. Tonight's celebrities are: Donny Osmond recalled a time he and Pat met in Vegas in 1998 (although technically they met up again in 2002), and is now the "new face of Harrah's". He's playing for Caesars Cares, an assistance fund established to support team members at the companyâs properties across the U.S. He also praises his daughter, Latoya. Jeff Garlin has been on quite a few sitcoms, but snaps back that everyone knows Donny, Pat, and Vanna. He's here because of The Goldbergs. He's playing for Fuck Cancer (censored as Fudge Cancer in the broadcast), a charity that helps everyone to avoid or treat cancer. Jeff then outright says he likes Donny more than Amber, which is definitely a decision he made. Amber Riley gets commended for her role on Glee. She's now the executive producer of Dream. Her charity is A Place Called Home, a charity that teaches younger kids how to plant crops and sustain themselves. $2,000 Toss-Up |

| SONG LYRICS |
Normally, I note when a contestant says something out of the ordinary, but Jeff has already shown that his outbursts are extraordinary by complaining that he was pit up against two singers. This will be the last comment about him in this recap that isn't part of the second interview or doesn't affect gameplay.DONNY

...and out of nowhere, A BOWL OF FRUIT came out of Amber's mouth, and she's got another $50,000! Her grand total now is $243,600!
The million this time was in the P in spin.

Funny that Donny Osmond appeared on CWOF in its second season before 5+ seasons of $100K Pyramid on the same network.

Third show, and we have the worst host of U.S. Pyramid (no, not Mike Richards) vs. a donut jerk in RoboCop 3 vs. a Mercedes girl. COMING SOON Donnyâs actually a decent host; everything else in his version of Pyramid was left to be desired.

Was anyone else done with Jeff by the middle of the second half? His comments were funny at first, but his fake fight with Donny and his rant on the "gold things" was just obnoxious. Not to mention he wasn't even playing the game seriously and was blindly asking to solve when he wasn't even close.
I think this ep confirms Game 2 R3 will never begin with the Final Spin but will start after the first turn at the absolute earliest.
With all these MDBR's, they might as well just get rid of the MDW's and just have a million envelope by default, really, and then change those four MDW's to four-digit wedges to add for R2.
I also have to say that the puzzle writing has been a downgrade this season. Where are all the "hip" and provocative puzzles? And why was 70's Song Lyrics used in Game 2 but not for a lyrics puzzle in Game 1 that was also from the 70's? I'm not really feeling the "totally different from syndie" vibe for Season 2 that I had watching Season 1.

Funny that Donny Osmond appeared on CWOF in its second season before 5+ seasons of $100K Pyramid on the same network. Hmm yeah, that would be interesting for him to appear on the current Pyramid. Louie Anderson appeared on Celebrity Family Feud a couple years ago. Totally agree about Jeff MarioGS , he was funny at first but in the second half he just went over the top and got obnoxious. Clearly he was just going for laughs rather than caring about playing the game, especially with his guess on the first round puzzle in game 1 and rooting for the others to hit Bankrupt later on. Really like him in Curb Your Enthusiasm and The Goldbergs, but not so much here on CWOF. Amber just flat out dominated the game, an excellent contestant. She did get pretty lucky in the first bonus round with the O, then her solve in the second bonus round was nearly equal to the NEW BABY BUGGY solve in how shocking it was she got it.

Wait, Amber actually won the second Bonus Round?! Wow! That would have been a slightly-above-average solve on syndie Wheel, but for CWOF standards, that's amazing! Donny's expression was priceless. I turned off the show and left the Discord after she lit up only the obvious A. Amber really was a great and humble player and I'm so happy she won. You could tell she was really having a good time but also taking the game seriously and not taking every opportunity to ham it up. She is not only the first celeb to win two Bonus Rounds but also the first to break $200K!
Also, they are totally doing what they did last season and showing nearly all the Bonus Round wins in the first half of the season. We've already tied all of Season 1 for the number of wins.

Amber and Jeff made this episode.
Amber cleaned up! She a fantastic job making history by taking the $1M wedge to the BR twice. Too bad neither of those puzzles resulted in a $1M win, but she stunned me when she solved the second puzzle with just the obvious A.
Jeff had me rolling with his missolves (especially his first) and his jokes throughout the episode. Even Amber was in stitches. đ And Iâm very surprised that Donny didnât solve TTU2 in the second game.
I no-lettered TTU2 of the first game, but R1 of the first game and R2 of the second were hard (even though I just listened to Doja Catâs rendition of âYouâre the One That I Wantâ). However, I got both BRs with RSTLNE.

Those Rhyme Time Triple Toss-Ups were just...what.
My brother started joking about how I thought the Before & After puzzle was TICKLED PINK FLAMINGOS at the reveal. Never seen Pink Flamingos (except for one clip in a compilation), and I don't plan to see it. At least I did get the answer after the third consonant.
I probably wouldn't have RSTLNE'd the second bonus puzzle without the A blank.

Pretty much every Rhyme Time and Before & After puzzle on CWOF involves a celebrity's name.

Recap's up. I snapped at the 5:11 mark and just wasn't willing to fill this recap with Jeff quips. Donnyâs actually a decent host; everything else in his version of Pyramid was left to be desired. I'll give him decent, but I thought every other host was better than him. However, since it was more the format that is infamous, I've rephrased the opening tagline.

While Amber definitely was the best player out there, Jeff Garlin was outrageously funnyâŠuntil the PANAMA JACK NICHOLSON missolve (yikes that was absolutely careless).
And yeah, puzzle writing this season just doesnât seem too different from Syndie WheelâŠ
BRs: Cool to see both be played for a Million. I wasnât expecting her to solve both bonus puzzles, but she did! Of course yâall know what happens with the Million next weekâŠ
8/10

Amber's win has been getting some newfound attention. She's now being dubbed as the unofficial Queen of celebrity competition shows. She won Season 17 of Dancing with the Stars in 2013, her team won Fast Money in Season 4 of Celebrity Family Feud in 2018, is still the only celeb to date to win two games and two Bonus Rounds on CWOF (and the biggest non-million winner), and just recently won Season 8 of The Masked Singer. Pretty incredible. Wonder what will be next for her.
