Why on earth did Jennifer guess H in the Crossword with just the Fs in MUFFIN missing?
Contestants shouldn't be so hesitant to go on the Express if they hit it early, though tonight it would've been better to not go on it of course. Not one but two tough breaks for Fornisha between the wrong letter on the Express and the late missolve.
Woah, Trending on Twitter? That must've been meant for Celebrity WOF and it slipped into the daily version instead.
I got the bonus puzzle, but with just the S showing on the top word it was tough.

Again with just the Bonus Round (I guess I'm not missing too much in the main game with those scores). I got it with RSTLNE, but it's still a pretty bad bonus puzzle.

Recap posted. I wouldn't blame everything on the budget this week, but rather on the contestants. Not as bad as last night's, but still pretty underwhelming. On the bright side, that's all I have to do for this week. Maybe I'll skip the Friday episode just for fun... BR: I got this before RSTLNE was done! Unfortunately, the same can't be said to the big winner that actually won by her own merits. 4/10logicman27 I know it's been a rough week, but we still do have contestants come to this board. Please try to keep any comments more generic, as I did in my edit. You did a great job doing that in the rest of the post. -KevI didn't label it as a MOVIE title because it's also the name of a Disney Channel show based upon that film. But eh. It's set in Hawaii, nothing more than tha |

Boy, Jennifer pulled off quite a narrow victory at the end of this game. But unfortunately, the “it’s always one word” phenomenon struck twice.
I solved R4 with just the T’s, and speaking of that puzzle, I caught a glimpse of it on Twitter. OVERACHIEVER by itself is a difficult word to solve, but adding BUSY made it even more daunting for Jennifer.
My rating: 4
