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

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

Recap posted. You people get an early treat today and tomorrow (I'm grounded at home while my car's at the shop).

Once again, this episode wasn't very good, but Rachelle's Triple T-U sweep helped things a bit.

I also would've flipped the MW as well.

R4: So...when's the next $5K hit? Yes, the $4K bonus rewards good puzzle-solvers, but it really isn't WHEEL of Fortune if $20K of the winnings this episode don't come from the wheel itself.

BR: That was tricky. All I had was PRAWN FARM. Words starting with U are evil.

Overall...meh.

Yesterday, I got a booster doze of the Pfizer variant. I felt really drowsy today, so I rested for most of the day. Hopefully, things should clear up soon...

Well, the first three rounds didn't leave the best impression, but the Triple Toss-Up was a turnaround (BURNT STEAK was funny). Rachelle did pretty good when she had the chance.

This time, I got the bonus puzzle with RSTLNE, though URBAN FARM was my backup guess. She probably would've gotten it if she picked the A. As TPH says, they zig or zag.

Questionable choice by Leah to flip over the Mystery wedge while holding the MDW, though even if she didn't go for it and she solved she wouldn't have had enough to win anyway.

Tough bonus puzzle, I was thinking the second word was FARM.

Rachelle was a good puzzle solver, but Justin’s N call in R1 baffled me. And I solved R2 and R4 with just the first letters and no-lettered the second word of R3.

But I thought the BR was GRAIN FARM. Maybe the A’s would’ve given Rachelle a better shot.

My rating: 6
