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 first half of this game left much to be desired, but the second went smoothly. Everyone did well, and I’m glad the giggling Ariel earned some cash in the last two front game puzzles. Her TU1 guess had me rolling. 😂

Believe it or not, I no-lettered R1 and solved R4 with just the C’s (and the last two Triple Toss-Ups just as fast).

I RSTLNE’d the BR, and it looks like Kanchi didn’t need the hot G’s for the car.

That might be because when Charlene from December 21 paused, Pat may not have had enough time to tell her to say the whole answer of her puzzle.

My rating: 7

And then there was one (episode of 2021). Hopefully, we end the year on a high note…

Recap posted.

Second time this season a contestant gambled on the MW with the MDW in tow and of course it didn't pay off. Then again, it didn't matter in the end.

Everyone did okay tonight; pretty impressed at those TTU solves.

BR: I too RSTLNEd it. I thought Kanchi's choices were still enough to pull out a solve and I was correct.

I thought about giving it a 6 at first, but this one's a 7/10 by just a hair because there wasn't anything really bad outside from Kanchi's BANKRUPTs.

SONG TITLE

This Taylor Swift tune was already a hit back when she released her 4th album in '12 (Red), but the 10-minute version of this song in her remastered version of this album (released November of this year) might possibly be my favorite song of all time. If you haven't listened to Red (Taylor's Version) yet, then what the heck are you doing?

That's actually a running gag with him sometimes when people get the answer right away. He also did it with this contestant from last season:

He even did it as far back as 1992:
