Ray	Jessica	Lacy

...did we really wish for three realtors?
Lacy Johnson: From Henderson, NV; also a cookie baker, so her clients get the best of both worlds; she's a big WNBA fan, and she's married to her wife Ashley with two kids named Kayleigh and Austin (the latter just recently adopted)
Ray Fernandez: From La Habra, CA; married to his wife Christa, and has three kids named Regan, Grayson, and Logan; Ray also has a big billboard that says #1 realtor in the world ("According to my mom")
Jessica Micklus: From San Luis Obispo, CA; she's...a realtor (Surprise!), and she's involved in marketing for real estate; she even donates her own hair for children who've lost theirs; recently married to Milton after 12 years of dating, and wanted to make it official. No kids yet, but they have a "fur baby" named Maxwell.

...so the Tiguan rolls away quietly. Lacy is going home with $23,600 cash and trip.

In the final segment, Vanna admits to hanging out with Pat's daughter. Maggie came by Vanna's dressing room, and Vanna gave her a glimpse of how she gets ready for each show. There's quite a collection of dresses, shoes, and jewelry to coordinate, and it's fun when it all comes together.

My birthday episode started off not so good with Lacy failing to claim the Massachusetts trip + $5150, Ray picking up the MDW then hitting Lose A Turn the next spin, and Lacy dudding with an I to fail to claim $3250; but Lacy turned it around with her express run and her Round 4 solve. I see why she picked I though in Round 2, because it's the better vowel than U but not in that puzzle. That was a hard bonus puzzle. I was nowhere close to getting that puzzle. Not a bad birthday episode. I am officially in my 20's now

"Realtor Night" recap posted.

Probably a fail on my part for the bonus puzzle. I instantly got VERBAL, but I couldn't figure out EXCHANGE.

Just one of those nights that nobody's happy. A bonus round loss and Amy Schneider loses a lot of money on an incorrect response (though to be fair, she's already won enough already that she might as well wager a lot).

This realtor's night could've been a bit better, particularly in the first half.

R1: W?! Say goodbye to that Massachusetts vacation (which is to the Woods Hole Inn). Also, rage at house minimum solve.

R2: I honestly thought I was a really illogical purchase. GUEST should've been really obvious at that point.

R3: I got this one fast...probably it's because I recapped an episode with that same Trip Puzzle.

R4: Actual spinning this round? I'm surprised, considering how many minutes were left in my DVR. Too bad Jessica didn't land on $5K for the Final Spin. It seemed to be within her aim...

BR: It didn't come to me immediately, but I had it off the RSTLNE. Once again, a contestant chooses THING and loses.

This is barely a 6/10, probably due to the little touches around this episode.

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.

100% disagree about raging over solving with only $250. In Jessica's shoes, I'd also solve for the house minimum. If I mess up a letter call or spin a penalty wedge, Lacy suddenly has an $11k+ head start going into round two.

Rage in that the money and trip couldn't be won, but I can see why Jessica solved for the house minimum (additionally, she did have to buy a vowel after her spin).

The only highlight of this episode was Lacy’s Express run. Otherwise, it wasn’t that exciting, except for that fact that there were three realtors (when’s the last time that happened?).

I solved R3 with just the T’s but I didn’t solve R1 until the very end. And I RSTLNE’d the BR, and maybe the First Four would’ve done it for Lacy.

My rating: 5
