Maureen Gill: From Torrance, CA; married to Jack with 4 children and 5 grandkids; her mother did a DNA test at age 90 and discovered...her most famous distant relative is Jimmy Buffett. ("Sorry, Maureen. You have to leave.")

Karina Tran: From La Habra, CA; special ed teacher with "a sweet class and awesome colleagues"; has a "pretty perfect husband" named Tim since "10/10/10", and she has "two little superheroes"...and they idolize Jim Thornton, getting excited when he calls out the cameos and puzzles and everything

After talking about the idolization, Pat says they should aim higher. He insists to Jim that it was "just a little joke from your friendly host".

He says COVERING, and he does not solve OFFERING ADVICE...

...so he can't take an offer of $39,000. Michael still leaves with $32,650, all cash!

In the final segment, Vanna admits she loves Margaritaville. Jimmy Buffett writes a little song, and it was a very popular song...and what it turned into is absolutely amazing. Pat says he is wearing Jimmy Buffett socks right now, and he claims to have a tattoo as well.

This show got off to such a rough start that it never could recover, despite some big winning.

Part of it was that we had no time to process anything, causing us to rush through everything. Part of it was just how rough those first two rounds were.

I thought that R1 was a little on the nose, but then everyone had a hard time with it. I found it funny that even with BUFFETT, they couldn't figure out who that was, or what he does when he's not repping the resort.

Yeah, starting both words in the BR with vowels is a good way to make it more difficult. Not surprised at that result.

Never realized how much this applied to more than a simple want.

This game is a good example of why viewers shouldn't give up after a rough start.

I got Round 1 with just the T's, though I'm guessing others no-lettered it. As for Round 2, I didn't have the first word until the E was revealed. Another Mystery win!

Too bad for Karina in the Speed-Up. At least it was a $6,000 spin.

I got the bonus puzzle with RSTLNE. I was hoping OFFERING would come to him with those choices.

I knew the round 1 puzzle as soon as the Es and Ts were up. Rounds 1 and 2 took an incredibly long time to solve, round 1 was especially surprising it took so long since Jimmy Buffett was mentioned in the contestant interviews plus it's Margaritaville week. At least we had a 10k Mystery win.

A 10k win AND a $6,000 Speed-Up tonight! What a swing this episode took.

I had OFFERING but was stumped on ADVICE. G and I worked well last week, tonight not so much. Definitely needed at least either C and D along with F and A.

R1: Oh come on, that was way too obvious to no-letter (the week's centered around him for crying out loud). The fact that everyone struggled with that is even more baffling.

R2: This round wasn't any better despite a $10K Mystery win.

R4: I so thought Karina had it after those S's...

BR: I thought it was COVERING like Michael.

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.

It was the match between Karina and Michael, but the second round was a mess.

I no-lettered R1 and solved the BR with Michael’s picks. I dunno what combo would’ve worked since both words started with a vowel…

My rating: 6
