Dibs solves JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.

Graham	Dibs	Nakesha
	$1,000

Today's contestants:
Dibs (last name not given): From Palm Desert, CA; "ghost writer" who writes memoirs for celebrities, and she sometimes gets credit for it; she has also written a book about a girls' softball team in the Bronx; Dibs is also a National Parks person and lives close to Joshua Tree
Nakesha Gaines: From Murrieta, CA; married to her "funny and good looking" husband Jervaughn for 29 years and counting, and they have two adult children; Nakesha's husband is funny, which is something that women like (don't ask Pat's wife about it, however); she's also into home and garden projects, and she's currently remodeling
Graham Pearce: From Encinitas, CA (by way of Sydney, Australia); financial planner for 35 years, which probably explains some of the gray hair; he's married to his best friend "the beautiful and very supportive" Janiffer, and they have a daughter; Graham and his wife have also been running half-marathons as a hobby, but they're not going to send you any records, as they do it just for fun

In the final segment, Pat asks, if Vanna would go back and change one thing in her life, what she would change. Vanna has too many things to name. Pat would change his name to Earl, and that's the only difference. He likes the name. Call your neighbors about it!

IMPORTANT NOTE: I am only going to include a contestant's last name if it is mentioned on the show (or if applicable, another game show, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case here).

I feel bad for imitating the Australian BANKRUPT sound when Graham hit that space in Round 1. Even though he got the $2,000 Toss-Up, I didn't know he wouldn't get many chances to play.

Good game for Nakesha, though I was also rooting for Dibs after that loss in Round 2. Then again, I had a tough time deciding who to root for between the three of them.

I had BEAUTIFUL immediately in the Bonus Round, but I needed her letters to get MEADOW. I thought she'd get it with the first word.

D and O ended up being great calls, I thought she might've had enough to get it. I'm surprised she figured out BEAUTIFUL but not MEADOW.

Nakesha had quite the thrilling rounds, didn’t she? And Dibs earned a nice total despite her bad luck. Had she not hit BANKRUPT in R2, the match between her and Nakesha would’ve been really tight.

I solved R3 with just the T, and at least it didn’t totally spoil the trip, Heck, it could’ve been Graham’s home country. I also nailed the BR with Nakesha’s picks. I’m surprised she got the first word but not the second.

My rating: 6

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.
