Jody will be taking the Wild Card and Home wedge to Bonus Land, and she has an extra chance at a new house!

But we must wait a moment, as Jody will select one of three Bonus Round categories:

THING

FOOD & DRINK

Jody picks Food & Drink.

LATITUDE MARGARITAVILLE BONUS ROUND

Car: VW Tiguan SE ($31K+)

Remember that both the $100,000 and Home are in play! Three chances at a huge win!

She's smiling and instantly solves FROZEN YOGURT! Pat's envelope is frozen shut, but once he opens it...

...Jody's taking a cold hard $45,000! She leaves with a total of $57,200 in cash and trip!

In the final segment, we remember Laura's home win from last season on the April 27, 2021 show. She called her husband Dave to say that she just won a home. Like a full house.

Pat is pretty sure their home is still under construction, but Laura is scheduled to get the keys to the house later this year. Pat and Vanna look forward to catching up on their adventure! Can we start writing a new adventure this week?

AND got it off RSTLNE. If somebody wins a home this week, hopefully the media won’t focus on Vanna getting hit with confetti again.

I started paying attention as soon as the Home wedge was picked up. I was also paranoid that Round 4 would not begin as a Speed-Up much like last week with the Million-Dollar Wedge.

Never heard of cornhole before. Even with the C or R missing, I still don't think I'd have gotten it.

As for the bonus puzzle, I got it instantly with RSTLNE, and I was sure she would solve it after the three-and-a-vowel. She did...though it was a 7 in 8 chance that she ended up with something smaller.

First Monday or Tuesday Bonus Round win since March 7 and 8. My drought is over.

It felt like Pat spent a lot of time in this episode explaining the Home wedge and doing the Mystery wedge spiel.

Nice to start the week off with a contestant getting a second Home envelope. Very easy bonus puzzle, I'm guessing she knew the first word was FROZEN and that's why she said F and O. It turned out the O was the best vowel since without it who knows if she would've figured out the second word.

Some quick fire thoughts:

Glad that the Home wedge is back. I honestly thought this was just a one-season only thing.

Yeah…they spent way too much time not focusing on the gameplay. I was really curious about why the bells sounded early…then I realized that it’s to make up for the end segment. Perfectly explains why I’m not a huge fan of these weeks.

Easy enough bonus puzzle for Yogurtland fans. I knew she had it once F and O were called.

Solid start to the week, minus some long side segments.

6/10

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.

Welcome back, Home Sweet Home.

Jody seemed like a happy contestant. Other than that, the front game action was… meh.

I’ve never heard of CORNHOLE until now, but I solved the BR with RSTLNE. Jody picked the right vowel there for a big envelope.

And it’s nice that they did a follow-up with Laura.

My rating: 6

THE Wheel Genius (but not the only one)
