PHRASE

Josh solves LOOK WHO'S TALKING.

Jasmine	Karen	Josh
		$1,000

Look who's playing!
Josh Olson: From Los Angeles, CA; executive director for Angel Flight West, a non-profit for medical air/auto travel; married to Erin and has two kids named Avery and Caleb (and they think Pat's "dad jokes" are better than Josh's jokes); he's also playing on the show for his mom as it's her favorite show, and he's been watching since "you rotated and chose your prizes for the winner".
Jasmine Harper: Also from Los Angeles, CA; married to her high school sweetheart (a lot of people marry their high school sweethearts, as Pat noticed), and has three kids named Tyler, Tegan, and T.J.; her grandma loves Wheel, and because of her, Jasmine has been watching since she was born...and her grandma wanted to say hi and she loves Pat.
Karen Cory Mejia: From Daly City, CA; flight attendant for a major airline based out of San Francisco for 25 years and counting; she's married to Rufino, also for 25 years and counting (but he's not a high school sweetheart), and she had two daughters named Christina and Carina who are studying to be an aesthetician and airline pilot (Pat's amazed that she could say those things).

Pat: And by the way, if you didn't watch it, I wasn't rotating. The stage was.

In the final segment, Pat comments about the puzzle PROFESSIONAL CLOWN, and a lot of people have a fear of clowns, known as "coulrophobia". Vanna's not afraid of clowns, and Pat not afraid...unless they're carrying a chainsaw or machete. If it's just a big red nose, that doesn't trouble Pat at all.

All around good episode. For some reason, Josh kinda looks a bit like Michael Davies.

As for the car that was won tonight…… yeah. Hopefully we see better cars next season. Just over $30K is embarrassing in my opinion.

Recap posted. Another okay main game which at least had good contestant interviews.

I got the bonus puzzle with his choices, though I probably could've gotten it with RSTLNE if I wasn't recapping.

Please. After today's Jeopardy! game, we don't get to talk about embarrassing stuff right now.

^Disagree; the same day the ANOTHER FEATHER IN YOUR CAP episode aired, the new Jeopardy! champion had a suboptimal wager. She then suboptimally wagered again the day after. We can kvetch about things from both Jeopardy! and Wheel independently.

I'll admit I just couldn't figure out the first word, so good on Josh to win the car! I'm personally fine with cheaper cars, but not when the show flashes "$39,000 cash minimum" and you offer something significantly under that.

Nice solve by Josh, I wasn't sure what the first word was myself. And yeah, it does look pretty cheap to have the car be so much less than the minimum cash value.

Let's see...

I predicted that the MDW would be BANKRUPTed like usual.

Have they used that ITALY wedge before (which, BTW, came from RoadScholar)?

BITE-SIZE BHUNKS OF CHICKEN? Never heard it phrased that way, but eh.

Trip Puzzle felt weird. I don't think they've listed out 2 non-related stuff that wasn't beach-related before here.

R4: Seems to me that there was an edit on Josh's final spin. I so thought he nailed the $5K space, but guess not...

BR: Wow, In the Kitchen is finally offered this season, and the winner isn't a cook at all? Anyway, my YT spoiled it for me (though I got it from the thumbnail). Nicely done by Josh, but did the show really have to offer a car nearly $9,000 less than the "cash minimum"?

Overall, not too bad, but it could've been a tiny bit better. A 6/10 will do.

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.

Not much to say about this episode, except Josh was a good puzzle solver and I’m glad Jasmine won some money in the end.

I solved TTU2 as fast as Karen and the BR with RSTLNE. Good thing Josh picked the right letters for the Rogue.

My rating: 7
