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

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

We need to see both all-male and all-female shows more often. Add a bit more variety!

We don't need to see contestants nearly fill in the puzzle and then get sunk by the last letter as often.

That was an interesting Speed-Up, and that almost could've been a bonus puzzle. Speaking of bonus puzzle, I got the actual one with RSTLNE.

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

Interesting they had a three male show on Disney Princess week, especially given how rare in general it is.

Ugh, bad duds in the first two rounds for John with the worst being the D call with everything but CRE_ uncovered.

Don't see Show Biz as the Prize Puzzle category too often.

I knew it was CUTE JACKRABBIT right away, yet another random adjective and noun pairing. John made up for the early duds with a nice solve!

Recap posted. Today was a bit busier than usual, but at least it's before midnight (if you live in the West Coast)!

I was pleasantly surprised by an all-male show. Don't be surprised by an all-female show tomorrow since Pat mentioned it at the top of the show.

Yeah, there was potential to be had in the maingame, but it turned out to be the usual PP winner wins the game, BR minimum shown, R4 being a full Speed-Up, yada yada ya.

The worst offender was definitely John's D call in R2. We really do need to see less of those last-minute duds.

BR: Welcome back, JACKRABBIT (Hey that rhymes!). I too had it off the RSTLNE. I was scared that John didn't say it right away, but he managed to talk it out; nice work.

6/10

It’s always interesting to see an all-male panel, but even more unusual for Pat to announce subsequent unusual trios.

Anyway, the front game wasn’t that great. John’s late dud in R2 had me shaking my head – but hey, it happens. At least he redeemed himself in the Prize Puzzle. And I’m glad Daron solved a Triple Toss-Up after his bad luck.

I solved R3 quickly, but R4 was very hard. And I thought TU1 had an ’S at the end of the first word, but from my research, it doesn’t.

I got the BR with RSTLNE. John scared me with his first guess, but good thing he got the right answer in time!

My rating: 6
