Recap posted.

Much more interesting main game tonight. Round 1 was really good for Emily though with a close call. If only Brittney could've cashed in as well.

The Triple Toss-Up seemed easy enough for someone to no-letter, though I needed the letter for the second TTU. I thought the Speed-Up puzzle was I WON BY A LOT, which might be silly even if appropriate for this situation.

I got the bonus puzzle with RSTLNE. Those were really helpful choices, and there's some extra cash!

On the side, I changed to a Pokémon avatar because SOMEBODY let their Dewott get away. Somebody with more of a history in the Wheel community than me. Will we ever find Dewott again?

What a night for Emily, starting with that really big round 1. She also benefitted from the others having just terrible luck with the wheel.

Easy bonus round thanks to her letter choices, the I while appearing to be a trap pick was actually the perfect vowel choice and M was good also.

Me, I'm not that big into Pokemon, so I put up something about an upcoming Nintendo game that I'm quite excited about.

R1: That was really good both gameplay-wise and puzzle-wise. Finally, we get something that is related to the modern times and got some good money from it. That last spin scared me for sure.

R3: Looks like someone forgot to buy vowels and it cost Brittney dearly...

R4: Bankrupt again on the Final Spin! Both Pat and I really thought Emily would hit the biggie considering the dollar amounts she spun.

Emily was a lot of fun to watch, BTW.

BR: Also RSTLNEd it. $39K more for Emily!

Still the usual problems, but I found it a bit better than yesterday. A light 7/10 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.

Happy birthday, Jim!

But man, was BANKRUPT nasty to our trio. At least Emily won a great haul in R1 (although she scared me when she kept spinning).

I had a gut feeling TTU3 would be the famous actress, and I solved the BR with Emily’s picks. Once again, it’s a case of someone picking the right letters.

My rating: 6

THE Wheel Genius (but not the only one)
