Impressive solve by Toni on the second TTU, and she had the right idea on the 3rd one. Kiddos was a random choice for the last group.

F and A were definitely perfect choices in the bonus round. A nice win to get this week shaping up a little better.

That Round 3 goof was funny. I thought he was just going to break, but leading into the Triple Toss-Up? Wow.

I literally figured out the answer to the bonus puzzle just before her picks were revealed, though I had FORWARD immediately. Nice win!

Recaps will be on hiatus as of May 27, 2024 due to life changes.

Recap posted.

Toni was an excellent player tonight! But of course it had to come with the usual stumbles of a typical 2020's episode...

It's their way of saying "We don't want the $5K to be hit tonight because we can't afford it." I'd like to see the show move that wedge to R3 and maybe dump the Prize Puzzle next season. Knowing the show all too well, they'll probably ignore it even more.

BR: Don't think I've heard it phrased that way, but good for Toni picking some key letters to win 45 large ones!

Yeah, I felt redundant putting the category as part of the answer. Fun Fact: A shopping center around Tustin/Irvine has that name.

Regarding the puzzles, Toni cleaned up.

I solved TTU2 as quickly as she did, but KIDDOS? Interesting choice for the last TTU. And Justine, WINNING ON WHEEL is a lovely thought.

I solved the BR with Toni’s picks, and good thing she picked some key letters for a well-deserved $45K.

My rating: 7
