She guesses THEY PAGED THE DAD, and she tries PAWED and PACED. She does not solve THEY PAVED THE WAY...

...so she can't find her way to the Bronco. Debbie is going home with $13,724 in cash and trip.

In the final segment, Pat says he loves Hawaii, even when they're not there. Pat hasn't been there in a while. He's been doing things with a pal who's a newscaster at one of those stations. Vanna could come along...if she buys herself a ticket.

Recap posted. I guess for a special day of (almost) all twos, we get a six-round game, one for each two. I hear the date's palindromic, but I'm guessing that means in DD/MM/YYYY formatting.

I couldn't get the first Toss-Up or Round 1, but I no-lettered TTU3 and Rounds 4 and 6. Speaking of the Triple Toss-Up...HAIRBALL? You cannot be serious.

I got the bonus puzzle once Debbie's choices were revealed. I hoped that would be solved, but I guess not. Am I going to have the only misses for two weeks in a row?

Wow, 6 rounds tonight! Nicole made a furious comeback and was a last second solve from Debbie away from being the big winner. I no lettered R4 and solved R6 pretty much right away also.

Ugh, that bonus puzzle should've been solved.

I correctly predicted TTU 2 before it was revealed

Nicole nearly came back in Rounds 4 and 5. She was close. We also got us 6 rounds tonight. It’s good to have one of those games

Got the BR right. Had it with her picks

The good news is it was nice to have 6 rounds for the first time this season.

The bad news is that this probably shouldn't have been a 6-round game. If Nicole was watching the scoreboard, she would have realized she was only $274 behind at the point where she solved R5 and therefore spinning at least one more time before solving would be strongly to her advantage. If she were really feeling bold, she could have just stalled and spun for every letter in the puzzle and hoped time ran out. Oh well. It's rare stalling actually ends up being a good strategy on modern Wheel because there's not usually this much time, but it applied today.

Great to see that 6-rounders aren't dead yet! Helps that most of the puzzles here were pretty easy.

Unfortunately, that's the only thing going for it (albeit with short puzzles and consonativity). That bonus round should've been won, period.

4/10

The unclaimed Hawaiian trip was to the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa.

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.

This intense Twosday episode, with a tight six-round battle between the women, was otherwise nothing to write home about.

Had Nicole gone for more in R4, she might have won the game. And some of KC’s letter choices were… um, questionable.

I no-lettered R4 and R6 and solved the BR with Debbie’s picks. I know someone solved PAVING THE WAY back in 2006, but this puzzle was another toughie.

My rating: 5
