Barbara says it as POLAND PANAMAR-MA AND PORTUGAL. Regardless, that's not what's on the board.

Lucky Sean properly solves POLAND PANAMA PORTUGAL to keep the Ireland holiday.

Barbara threw the "and" in there, just to clear things up because Pat knows America is throwing things at the TV set. Barbara's okay, though.

I’m not sure who/what to be mad at regarding that R1. A poorly written puzzle yes, and frankly they’ve gotten really persnickety with botched solve attempts this season and rebounding from it. What happened to the days of Pat going “say it all again?”.

Also probably didn’t help she was rather nervous but they tell you to pronounce it slowly for a reason.

Combine that with a S-U that brought back shades of A BROWN HORSE and an obscure BR that I’ve never even heard of, and this episode is really a prime example of what Wheel has become this season.

Barbara had a bad moment in round 1 with her missolve, but at least she did make a comeback later and the show and ended up being the big winner.

Round 2 was an easy no letter solve.

No, it's still not GROWING MY HAIR LONG.

I RSTLNEd the bonus round, maybe she would've solved it with either the C or the H showing.

A better game than the last one, though we still couldn't get a Bonus Round win. The Speed-Up was also something.

I no-lettered Round 2 as well, though I still haven't seen the movie yet.

While I did get the bonus puzzle, it was with only 2 seconds remaining. They're not giving us many letters to start with!

R1: Well, that was awkward.

R2: Also no-lettered it. Such a fantastic film.

R4: At least Barbara was able to win despite that fiasco.

BR: I got it during the timer, even though I haven’t heard of it phrased that way before.

Now there’s that Foreign Wheel clip!

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.

Sean and Barbara had a tight match, and the latter contestant did a great job overcoming her mistake in R1 to win. But, among other things, the GROWING MY HAIR LONG debacle had me cracking up. 😂

Even if I didn’t see the R2 solution on Twitter, I would’ve no-lettered it thanks to the punctuation. I dunno what combo would’ve worked in the BR for Barbara.

My rating: 6

THE Wheel Genius (but not the only one)
