That little blooper with only the two leftmost blanks of the bonus puzzle popping up at first was amusing. So was Camille casually mentioning that pole dancing helped her prepare for spinning the Wheel. Glad both of those moments were left in.

Funny that Pat "mistakenly" prompted Camille for another consonant after the first three which wasn't technically wrong because she would have had to call a fourth consonant anyway. Interesting pick with the U. COULD could have been negbait.

By the way, one of the promos spoils all the Bonus Round outcomes for this week. If you're curious:

SPOILER: Click to show

Four wins this week, with the only loss being Wednesday.

Recap posted.

It's like Rounds 1 to 4 were all trip puzzles, either for the prize or the puzzle...or both.

Also glad the puzzle board blooper was left in. As for the puzzle itself, I couldn't figure out the last word until the M showed up.

For as much as Camille won in round 1 you would think it would've been a runaway for her, but with the Prize Puzzle Tracy made it a pretty tight game heading into round 4.

Camille talking about pole dancing was well, interesting. The puzzle board only showing the first two letters of the two rows for a few seconds was funny.

The U call was odd, it made me wonder if she knew the puzzle right away except for thinking COULD instead of WOULD with her C call.

Ah, yes. Our first female trio on a non-special week. Also, the longest puzzle was 21 letters long.

R1: I can't believe Camille didn't call those L's on $900...

R3:

"Prize Puzzle...or whatever it's called." It's the trip puzzle, Pat. We know it, and you know it.

Hilarious! If any of the frequent boardies show up soon, they should call out that round as the Trip Puzzle if they do solve it. I know of one instance before, but it would be awesome.

R4: Good, now I don't have to complain about that round always starting with a Final Spin all week.

They went kind of deep into the round to have the bells ring.

Christina's FS was pretty weak. I'm guessing she was trying to hit a BANKRUPT so that she could aim for $5K.

BR: Yeah, that blooper was funny indeed...and so is that pole dancing moment. That M certainly was crucial (I also needed that letter) for another $45K payday.

8/10

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.

If that was me with the same Letters called I would be stuck on trying to get that puzzle.

It was the battle between Camille and Tracy. The former probably needed an extra set of hands to carry all that cardboard in R1.

I solved the BR with RSTLNE. Though I thought Camille needed the A’s to solve that puzzle, I’m glad she instantly nailed it for a bigger amount!

My rating: 7
