Let's fill in some more of this with BMPO.

Or...let's starve the board of any extra letters.

She guesses RYE and RAW, but she does not solve RAW ZUCCHINI...

...so she's unable to warm up the CX-30. Jackie leaves with $15,200 cash and trip.

In the final segment, we find out how does Pat prefer his zucchini. He says sauteed, and on a plate next to a big juicy medium-rare sirloin steak. He tosses the zucchini and eats the steak. You should try it.

Another full credit roll. 🙂

Producers might be cautious this week after that bonus puzzle, and what happened last week, if you know what I mean… 😏

Wish I didn’t have to be reminded of the last time ZUCCHINI was used…

After a string of generous bonus puzzles, tonight's was anything but. I got Raw but couldn't think of Zucchini. Maybe if she called the C and I. Zucchini strikes again in the bonus round, but at least it wasn't a million dollar loss this time...

Really cool pan from the puzzleboard to Pat, Vanna, and the contestant in the full credit roll tonight.

ZUCCHINI MUFFIN for $36,000? Why don't you need to be reminded of that

RSTLNEd it, but I've just been on these boards for way too long.

Recap posted.

Well, looks like we're back to a more typical main game again. I wasn't expecting YARD in the Crossword.

I got the bonus puzzle with RSTLNE, possibly because I'm still bitter that they aired a $1,000,000 loss on my 27th birthday. In this case, CDMA wins over BGHO, though CDHA is even better. I wouldn't call this an impossible puzzle.

I like how the botched Crossword solve in R2 was immediately wrong, and that Vanna apparently wasn't paying attention to that, as she started clapping before Pat said no.

All I have to say is that there was a whole lot of untapped potential with this one...

BR: Also RSTLNEd thanks to the disaster that happened at WDW a few years back.

4/10

The unclaimed Seattle trip was to the Maxwell Hotel by Staypineapple.

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.

I can see why she thought it was "YARD". Probably thinking of a garage sale perhaps and thought of that word.

All I can really say about this episode was that it was pretty average, but Amy was quite the spirited contestant. The last Triple Toss-Up fit her well.

I solved R2 and R4 with just the first two correct letters and RSTLNE’d the BR. CDMA would’ve given Jackie a decent shot.

My rating: 5
