Joshua solves and we'll be GETTING THE INSIDE SCOOP on him...

Deitra	Lorena	Joshua
		$1,000

...and his female opposition:
Joshua Katzki: San Francisco way. Lives with his girlfriend (Mina; just moved in together) and a big sports fan (Mina's getting there). In terms of what he does...well, he's a stand-up comic (and started that a couple years ago).
Deitra Charles: Carson. Artist (mostly oil painting but does some graphite painting as well)/adjunct professor who's a fan of "I Love Lucy" ever since she remembered watching it.
Lorena Rodriguez Chandler: Long Beach. Director for a health insurance company who has a partner named Josh and two kids. She's also a daughter of Mexican immigrants and watched this show ever since the 80s (despite English not being her first language).

Sorry, Lorena. The Shopper's Bazaar has been defunct for as long as I can remember.

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

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

PETA is probably not happy about the second Toss-Up...

Joshua definitely benefitted big time from the other contestants' errors tonight, most importantly allowing him to solve with the MDW in round 3 when it didn't look good for him.

When I saw the two single letters at the end of the puzzle in round 4 I thought there was an error with a letter inbetween not showing up.

I got the bonus puzzle after the O was put up but it was quite tough without more help. Probably needed the A or I and to call M and B.

I'm surprised the staff allowed that second Toss-Up.

Other than having another Million-Dollar envelope in play, not too much else to say. I had QUITE and the -IOUS in the last word, but I couldn't get the first half of that word. If he called CDMA, I would've gotten it.

Recaps will be on hiatus as of May 27, 2024 due to life changes.

That closing segment reeked of poor wording. Pat said "We'd like to drop the confetti again soon" even though they did twice within the past week, though the latter was taped after this, not before as aired.

Also, are they really going to disrespect Melissa Joan Hart like that by refusing to count her as a million dollar winner? For shame. Pat should have least said, "We did do it on one of our celebrity shows." since CWOF was mentioned on syndie at least once.

Honestly, this season is a lot like a teenage girl's hormones. It could be simply spectacular on some episodes and absolute crap on the others. This one fits in the latter.

Though it is cool to see the Million taken into the BR (I also was stumped unfortunately).

That second Toss-Up will not sit well with PETA at all...

Don’t you think that’s a little harsh, and quite frankly, a bit insulting? Yes, the quality this season has been all over the map, but we don’t need to make such a grotesque comparison.

I think it’s best to keep them separate for the sake of logistics and record-keeping, kinda like how price only sparsely mentioned the million dollar spectaculars on the daytime show.

Y Chromosome was also used on October 9, 1989. I had the episode on tape that my mom recorded for me.

I don't blame Pat for not including Melissa's win, since it's different from the syndie show.

All I can say about this average game is that Joshua strategically capitalized on his opponents’ errors.

I no-lettered the first word of the Prize Puzzle and solved the BR with the champ’s picks. VACATIONS weren’t gonna cut it, but at least he was far from the super big one.

My rating: 5
