Robyn solves BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.

Daniel	Robyn	Sheida
	$1,000

Celebrating their future winnings:
Robyn Brewer: From Hendersonville, TN; HR supervisor for a local school district, and it's fantastic; she also sings and performs, and she loves community theatre, so being onstage is great; she loves her parents, and is currently "shopping" for a husband ("Unfortunately, we don't have the shopping segment on the show, anymore.")
Sheida Karami: From Los Angeles, CA; senior brand strategist, just does a lot of thinking with creative folks in advertising; she enjoys cooking, currently amateur, but is working up to it, and has also cut her fingers quite a bit; she also loves her parents, so she's playing the game for them
Daniel Rau: From Monrovia, CA; lives, eats there, and takes walks (everyone laughs); married to his wife Zorrie, and has two daughters; he's known by his co-workers as "Double D" or "Big D", short for "Discount Dan" as he's a tough negotiator (Pat feels they're he's just babbling on the screen.)

Games like these are making me question why I still watch this show.

At least I impressed myself by RSTLNEing the bonus puzzle.

2/10

The BANKRUPTed Alaskan Cruise came from American Cruise Lines (worth $13K+). Also, dang Robyn’s a really weak spinner.

There's a reason this show has been on so long.

I'll never quit watching. Hopefully, you won't either.

Not much more to say. I also got the bonus puzzle with RSTLNE. I figured QUICK might be a tough word.

I guess I can't blame Robyn too much for guessing F late in the Crossword puzzle, I assume she thought it was FOOT and not BOOT.

Two rounds in a row Sheila won with 1 spin and calling the B to solve, which was an easy choice for her hitting $3,500 in round 2 then the Prize Puzzle in round 3. Then for good measure she solved the Speed Up puzzle for just the house minimum.

I solved the bonus puzzle with just the RSTLNE-- A was a great choice and C got her another letter, but guess she needed another letter in QUICK. So far it's not a good follow up to the perfect bonus week last week.

This show wasn’t too hot but I certainly wouldn’t put it at 2/10. We’ve had far worse episodes this season deserving of a low rating.

Though I shouldn’t be surprised anymore that the writing was lacking across the board. NIBBLING is a weird one to have in a puzzle no matter the round, and the TTU set was all kinds of convoluted.

We JUST had A QUICK FLIGHT during the triple 100k sweep back in February, we don’t need need the same adjective under the same category so soon. What gives?

It's because A QUICK FLIGHT was solved. They wanted someone who wouldn't get that word, and they got that.

Hoo boy, this episode was a roller coaster, from Daniel’s funny interview to Robyn’s bad luck with her letters and the wheel to Sheida’s defensive play. But Robyn impressed me with her TU1 solve.

(Why do the writers often categorize SURROUNDINGS as a PHRASE?)

I nailed the BR with RSTLNE, so I thought it was solvable. But alas, no – QUICK has struck again.

My rating: 4

THE Wheel Genius (but not the only one)
