We get a look on how’s it done in Finland (Onnenpyörä). It makes our hosts look like "The Waltons".

Anyway, that show has the previous 3 winners on every 4th show play again to donate to charity. The show decides to stick to normal stuff (which doesn't reel in more viewers).

They really like their PIPING HOT stuff, don't they?

Finnish Wheel looks so good. Sadly, there isn't anything on YouTube except for a promo and a few play-at-home puzzles. Translate it to English but keep everything else, and you have a solid Wheel spinoff for LogoTV.

Nearly a sweep. I got everything except the second Toss-Up. I forgot what letters were called in the Speed-Up, but I assumed SWISS CHEESE was possible when the C was revealed.

For the bonus puzzle, I got PIPING HOT with RSTLNE, but I needed the D for CIDER.

Recaps will be on hiatus as of May 27, 2024 due to life changes.

Candace made a weird first letter call in the Speed Up with the F, but then she had an impressive solve with just CH showing.

Very nice solve by Kevin in the bonus round, I was afraid he was going to need the Ps and or Is to get it.

The Finnish version looks really interesting.

Kevin played well tonight. Only real major issue is that some of the puzzles seem that the show ran out of money tonight.

Needed the D to get the bonus puzzle. And yeah, that Finnish version looks amazing.

I disagree with your comment about the show running about of money because they used Swiss cheese - S is a common letter, and more than likely with even just S—SS ——S- showing, the person who guessed S would have gotten a minimum of $6,000 - they just happened not to call S for some reason.

Kevin dominated, but I like how Candace surprised herself with her solves.

I had a gut feeling someone would fall for the SHOPPING trap in R3, but I had the BR with RSTLNE. Like Pat said, the P’s would’ve been very helpful, but Kevin didn’t need ‘em!

My rating: 7
