We might have something big, as Lonette is taking the Wild Card to Bonus Land!

She needs time to select a Bonus Round category, though:

THINGS
FOOD & DRINK
IN THE KITCHEN

Lonette picks Things.

RSTLNE gives her:

She gives us CPMA and a Wild Card letter of D.

Too bad we can't give her anything back.

She guesses FAST WAVES, and she does not solve GIFT BOXES...

...so she's not getting a gift of $39,000. Lonette leaves with $21,600 in cash and trip.

In the final segment, Pat says the show is always happy when their friends at Margaritaville Resorts join and send the show plenty of fun stuff for the set. They're looking at a giant blue flip-flop, which is actually a small version of the 13-foot flip-flops featured in lobbies of many Margaritaville Hotels and Resorts in the U.S. and Caribbean. Guests will also be able to set sail on "Margaritaville at Sea", an offshore cruise to Grand Bahama Island.

Pat then notices a big wad of gum on the sole of the flip-flop.

I thought the last word in the bonus puzzle was VIBES, and I wasn't expecting them to simply pluralize box. I had nothing for the first word.

Just not Brian's night with the repeat A early and then losing the MDW riding the Express. Wonder what he thought the last word was with the K call.

Curious that Lonette solved for the minimum in round 2 but filled the whole puzzle in the Prize Puzzle round.

Tough bonus round-- couldn't do it with so little letters up.

2 back-to-back episodes with bad gameplay - back to normal!

R3: Welp, so much for a MDBR. Also, I dunno what Lonette was smoking spingling the past round and filling out the entire puzzle here.

BR: She just HAD to pick the worst category out there to add salt to the wound…

Anyway, I actually got it when her 4-and-a-vowel completely backfired on her. Probably my most impressive solve this season.

This did NOT feel like a $20K+ winner maingame at all…

3/10

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.

Seconded. By the way, when was the last time the Million Dollar Wedge was lost to an Express crash?

This episode was… meh.

I no-lettered TTU2 and initially believed the long word in R1 was PEANUT-BUTTER (which isn’t hyphenated), but the BR was a real toughie. Maybe BGHO would’ve given Lonette a shot.

My rating: 5

Slowpoke. I got it before the blanks were up.

Of course, we both knew the theme, which is better than guessing BEARS AND GORILLAS for the last one.
