OUCH. Perhaps maybe some other day?

LISA'S FINAL TOTAL: $20,550 (all cash)

'Twas an exciting show...until the ending.

We see a blooper with Vanna saying "Spice up your life" in the very end.

Next Episode

OVERALL THOUGHTS: Yeah, I think the end chat summed up the show very well. 5/10

And according to Richard Corliss, this week gave away $184,340.

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

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

So this is where the NUDIST COLONY OF ANTS puzzle came from. There's bound to be at least one more odd puzzle I remembered from this season alone.

Oddly, I didn't remember BRITISH COLUMBIA being used as a puzzle. I must have forgotten about it when thinking about the puzzles VANCOUVER CANUCKS and CALGARY ALBERTA getting botched (though still solved by someone else) in other episodes.

Recaps will be on hiatus as of May 27, 2024 due to life changes.

I just noticed an oddity with this episode. R4 was the longest puzzle here (even more strange considering the "2 lines only" rule post-R3 was implemented about three-ish weeks into this season).
