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

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

Recap posted.

I'm pretty sure a majority of you no-lettered TU2 due to that incident (and remember that I haven't seen the episode in advance creating these placeholders).

Aside from that, Amy (not Schneider) did fantastic in the main portion! I had no clue on the third word of the Trip Puzzle when she solved.

It's also interesting that we squeezed in another R5 on a heavily sponsored week.

BR: I had it off the RSTLNE. Considering how well of a player Amy is, I'm surprised she blanked out on the other half.

7/10

Amy was a great puzzle solver in the main game, just too bad she couldn't get the bonus puzzle. I got it after the AM were put up.

Yet another TTU sweep this week, feels like it hasn't been done too much this season but now all of a sudden it's been almost every night.

I don't know which was more hilarious: The "Jedi moment" second Toss-Up...or Amy's love of pretzels.

Yeah, I couldn't get that word either, and I like pretzels a lot. That solve left me speechless.

We're certainly making up for Monday's Triple Toss-Up stumper. Three shows in a row with a $10,000 win. Maybe tomorrow as well?

I also got the bonus puzzle with RSTLNE. I thought she'd get it since she had the Wild Card, but LOFTY isn't an easy word.

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

Amy did really well in the front game! Her solves on TU2 and R3 impressed me (I solved R4 with just the E’s).

Although the BR was tricky, I solved it with RSTLNE. Maybe an F would’ve helped Amy win another $39K.

My rating: 7

THE Wheel Genius (but not the only one)

A B or an F could have been a bit helpful imo.
