She gets A MAJOR and guesses SURGERY, but she does not solve A MAJOR DISCOVERY...

...and she couldn't discover an extra $45,000. Karla still leaves with $29,580 in cash and trips.

In the final segment, Vanna says that Pat is a true friend. Before the show, they were getting ready to walk out, and Pat pointed out that she had lipstick on her teeth. It's important to check the teeth of a co-host...and if you're buying a horse. Those are the two important times, huh?

I didn't get to watch because of the mayoral debate on WABC, was there any mention of Pat's birthday?

^ No mention of it unfortunately.

Karla had quite a night winning a couple trips and Todd did pretty good as well (sans a silly WC use). Cool to see TV Title in R4.

There definitely seems to be a lot of audience dubbing here, but at least there were some real reactions to the MDW hit.

Also, you just ticked off a SoCal homie by writing Long Beach as one word. 😛

BR: RSTLNEd. If only Karla went the CDMA route…

6/10 (orig. 7; too many misplays that easily could be avoided)

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.

Yeah, maybe now is the right moment to make a small update to my template to save me time. Then I can verify the spelling so I won't end up making spelling mistakes like that again.

To think I'm normally good with place names, and I guess I was just a little exhausted early on. Though I can't say it was early on as an excuse for missing the Speed-Up puzzle.

I was able to get the bonus puzzle with those letter choices, though I had nothing before that. Maybe this was one I should've been able to get with RSTLNE. Ah, well. At least I've done my episodes for the week, so all I have to do is watch the next three shows.

Pat got a nice episode for his milestone birthday.

Karla cleaned up, and Todd earned a nice second-place total. Too bad Reka couldn’t share the goodies.

I quickly solved R2, and it’s great to see TV TITLE return and the show in question be featured. (After all, it’s a pseudo-Halloween week.)

I got the BR with RSTLNE; CDMA would’ve done it for Karla.

My rating: 7
