She only says RINGING OUT IT and BANGING OUT IT, and she does not solve HANGING OUT AT WORK...

...so she can't hang out with the MINI Cooper. Nicole still finishes with $33,198 in cash and prizes.

In the final segment, Pat compliments Vanna for her dress on TV tonight. He also mentions that tomorrow is the Ides of March, so tonight is "Ide's Eve". "I think Shakespeare goes down your chimney tonight."

Big night for Nicole!

Surprised she didn’t get the bonus puzzle, but to be fair, that puzzle was pretty tough to make sense of. Her total’s probably bigger than the Mini Cooper out there, watching enviously at Pat and Vanna, filled with rage.

We had some odd rounds. A good amount won combined with some missed opportunities. I got the bonus puzzle with RSTLNE. Again, not quite enough letters for the contestant.

Another double word puzzle tonight with Tumbling Tumbleweeds.

Nicole's 80s interest came in handy to solve R2. Too bad Evan is a bit too young to know Duran Duran, missing out on the $10,000 (though he also didn't seem to know who Wolf Blitzer is either).

I didn't realize the theme for the TTU was the last word rhyming, I thought the second word in TTU3 was STEAK.

Interesting they used Song Lyrics after using a song title earlier.

I got the bonus puzzle, though it didn't really make much sense. Who hangs out at work?

Nicole did a nice job winning a couple trips, but this one also had problems...

R2 and R4 are prime examples on how outdated the show is in terms of writing. Yes, it did save a $10K MW payout, but it's really clear that Evan's not a big vintage music buff.

I knew TREAT would be the last one in the TTU, but I can understand not getting the theme with everything that's going on playing the game.

BR: Got it with RSTLNE after a couple of seconds. sushibarset14, that exact MINI Cooper is worth $36,195 (it was won on Monday's episode of that aformentioned week), so not quite.

5 6/10

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.

Nicole cleaned up with the two tours, but this episode was kinda rocky.

I figured Evan would fall for the STARGAZING trap in TU2. And based on the trip provider, I no-lettered the PP. I also RSTLNE’d the BR. Maybe the H would’ve helped Nicole here?

My rating: 6

By the way, I liked the figure on Snuggs’ shirt.
