He says IN A BRILLIANT LAND and IN A VALIANT LAND. He does not solve IN A JUBILANT MOOD...

...and he may feel bad about missing the $39,000. David still leaves with $21,163 in cash and trip.

Vanna really feels like she's in a casino with all the slot machines on the set! Wheel was the first brand-licensed slot machines ever, and they paved the way for TV and movie themed gaming devices we see now. Vanna likes to have a little fun with the players.

Tonight and last night proves that they’re usually some contrived, strung together impossibility.

Still had it off RSTLNE, but can’t blame him for missing.

Poor Pam, tough break in round 2 hitting the Bankrupt. I was quite surprised she kept spinning as long as she did there though.

I got the bonus with the RSTLNE, but yeah not many people were going to get JUBILANT. We're back to random difficult words in the bonus puzzles, oh joy.

This episode wasn’t much better than the previous one. I feared Katie would fall for the HALL trap in R2, but thank goodness she didn’t. I’m not sure where she thought the H would go on R1, though.

(Interesting tidbit about the Proper Names: Roosevelt’s on the dime, Grant’s on the $50 bill, and Anthony’s on the $1 coin. Shout-out to several sources.)

I solved the BR with David’s picks. Tough luck for him there.

My rating: 5

I too got it with RSTLNE. As for Pam, she was on pace to overtake David with that Final Spin. I was wondering how the Speed-Up was going to work out.

Interesting that the episode ends with only Pat and Vanna without the winner of the day.

R1: Seems to me that Katie hasn't set foot in Vegas before...

R2: More pain here thanks to Pam losing some good cardboard...

BR: I also got it from the RSTLNE. Did they really have to use JUBILANT here?

Pretty aggravating episode overall. Too much spinning which often leads to late duds and penalties.

4/10

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.
