This episode was originally #7600 for Friday. WJLA posted Mike's Hometown Howdy with slate, and the Vanna dress gallery has her dress from this episode listed as Friday.

SPOILER: Click to show

Just like last week, the promo not only spoils the whole thing, but once again does the whole "one of these three players..." spiel with two of them from different episodes. Plus, you can see Mike's sleeve at the end. Can't they at least be subtle like in past seasons?

That's what I figured because of the "Have a Great Weekend!" puzzle. I thought it was odd to use that on a Monday show and wondered if this was supposed to air on Friday. Any possible reason for the switch, besides they would want the $100,000 win to air on Monday?

Patience had some run with the MDW continually flirting with danger and hitting the Mystery wedge late in round 2. Felt so bad for her she Bankrupted.

I knew the puzzle with the P put up also. He's very lucky to have chosen the P, and he called the $100,000 win! Way to go Mike, that's now 6 for the season!

Bad luck in Round 2. I thought Patience would get it, and it's obviously why she declined the Mystery flip, but she still got knocked out by one bad spin. I just couldn't get CHASE even with only the S missing. I instantly had the top line in the Speed-Up, but I had no chance at the bottom word.

But I did get the bonus puzzle with RSTLNE. Funnily enough, I had a dream on Friday night that the next show I'd watch (the Monday show) would be a $100,000 win, though it wasn't the same puzzle.

And once again, I did not get spoiled on the outcome because I usually just turn the TV on to watch Wheel.

Well, now we know how much that Woods Hole Inn trip costs. I've updated the cumulative BANKRUPT trash from last week's stats FYI.

Oof, that was a rough middle patch. Patience (interesting name BTW) losing the MDW being lost in R2 (I honestly saw it coming) and all of those penalties in the next round.

R4: Well now we know why that was originally scheduled for Friday...

BR: #6!

Too bad TikTok spoiled it for me...

Even without the spoiler, I still would've gotten it with the RSTLNE. Confetti angels for Mike!

9/10

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.

Not much to say about the front game (except for some nasty penalty spins), so I’ll skip to my gameplay…

I no-lettered TTU3, but CHASE (in R2) was hard for me to get. I did solve the BR with RSTLNE, and thank goodness the P was all Mike needed for the big one! His “snow angel” was fun to watch. 👏🏾

My rating: 9
