In the final segment, Pat is excited about September, when the 40th season begins. However, they're only in the process of planning. Pat does know that instead of promoting it as the 39th, it will be called the 40th. Vanna can't wait!

Shorter credit roll this time. 🤣

Exciting game. Thought the bonus puzzle was VERY HEAVY PACKAGE, but BAGGAGE made a bit more sense.

End of the show: We’ve got a glimpse of what’s next for the 40th season; instead of the 39th season, it’s gonna be the 40th! 😂

Probably would've had it if she called the G and A for her vowel.

Those first two rounds were pretty good. I got quite nervous when Round 4 did not begin as a Speed-Up, but she held on to the green wedge.

And here I was thinking the third Triple Toss-Up would use both EYE and ALARM. They've done that in the past.

I got the bonus puzzle with RSTLNE. Twice in a row that I think they set it up for a win and couldn't get it.

I knew there was going to be a MDBR as the top comment from CDixie 's copy said "First $1M Bonus Round since January 2022".

However, I also figured that R4 would not begin as a Speed-Up as it was only 13:30 after the Triple T-U (also referencing the copy; the bells would usually sound at around 14:30).

Fun show overall despite the BR miss and the repeated H (I RSTLNEd it).

7/10

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.

Good game by Thaina. It was a good match between her and Rachel until the Triple Toss Up. It could have been a good match between all 3 had Chris not repeated that H. He could have solved that puzzle and went on to St. Thomas had he not done that.

I had VERY HEAVY off RSTLNE but I blanked on the last word. I thought of LUGGAGE but then I realized that wouldn't work because there was no L.

It was initially the match between the women but Thaina eked out a nice win for herself.

But as soon as she picked THING for the BR, I was nervous (and rightfully so). The A was the hot vowel here, but at least she didn’t lose the super big one.

My rating: 7
