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 still stuck at home.

I honestly feel like this show is truly in a dork age. Even though R1 was pretty good, the same damn problems were found here. And thus, the $5K drought continues...

BR: If that wasn't bad enough, Julie decides to waste three of her picks on obvious spots! Just peachy! I had it off RSTLNE btw.

Nice to see NEW BABY BUGGY mentioned again, but it's another pass.

4/10

P.S.: Happy birthday mcbridebobby and WayoshiM ! Hope you two had a good one today!

A name of a CNBC show, it was today that I found out such program exists. Earlier today, I was playing the WoF video game on the Switch where R2 was a Same Name puzzle of CARDBOARD & SQUAWK BOX. Unsurprisingly, it was one of the most nightmarish rounds I had the displeasure of playing through online (I still won despite that).

Speaking about the video game, I finally took the MDW over to Bonus Land for the first time (helped by the fact that it was picked up on the final spin of R3; I usually BANKRUPT that cardboard piece). It's too bad that I had to settle for $34K after nailing a puzzle that would likely be a forced loss (TRIVIA QUIZ; Fun & Games).

Accidentally spoiled myself on the $1,000 Toss-Up by clicking the wrong thread (I meant to check the 25th again).

With the O's, I was thinking the word on the right would be FOOD, but then the M showed up.

A bad consonant followed by two bad vowels. I don't think a cycle of lost turns can be played any faster than what happened in Round 3. That was kinda funny.

I no-lettered the second Triple Toss-Up, though I thought SPEAKING SPANISH for the third (that could've been the second one). I also got the bonus puzzle with RSTLNE.

...

This is way out of left field, but I can't tell if CHEK News at 6:00 was referencing the Jeopardy! show that had yet to air (after Wheel) because of Amy. They had a pretend set as they were announcing a home viewer won a local trip on CHEK's "Winning Wednesday". I'm guessing it was just a coincidence.

Another down to the wire game tonight, nice to have some close finishes lately.

Bad bonus round letter choices, she just went for filling in the obvious letters. I had it with the RSTLNE.

I knew they would reference the NEW BABY BUGGY miracle solve at the end after BUGGY was one of the words with Baby _____.

It was an OK battle between the women. How fitting that Keira solved R1 given she’s a baker, but honestly, the consecutive duds and buzzers in R3 had me chuckling like Pat.

Josh had quite the backstory, and BUGGY made me think of Emil’s epic solve from 2014…

I solved the BR with RSTLNE (and the third word with no letters), and maybe BGHO would’ve been a better combo for Julie.

My rating: 5
