Katie's about to strike it rich after picking one of these three Bonus Round categories:

Katie picks Food & Drink.

$100,000 BONUS ROUND

Car: Ford Explorer XLT ($42K+)

Katie's husband is watching from the audience!

Bonus Spin: G in GAME

Bonus Puzzle

FOOD & DRINK

RSTLNE gives her:

E

FOOD & DRINK

PGMO only gives her one letter.

P

E

S

FOOD & DRINK

She knows it's something with a P, and she guesses FRUITY PEBBLES and FRUIT PEBBLES. It is fruity, but she does not solve JUICY PEACHES...

...so something she's not getting is a Ford. Katie leaves with $40,949 in cash and prizes.

In the final segment, Pat comments that nobody is perfect. Vanna did miss two I's in the Speed-Up, but Pat has forgiven her.

Another post Round 1 recovery! Two trips and the Gift Tag plus plenty of cash.

It took me until the fourth week to get a "normal" Bonus Round loss. Of course, I lock on to the wrong answer twice in a row, thinking FUZZY PEACHES with RSTLNE while my brain refused to spit out anything else.

JUICY PEACHES was my first thought once the RSTLNE came up. I dunno why, it just popped into my head.

Otherwise, Katie did great.

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.

Day 2 with audiences, I remember being surprised that made a fairly distinct set from the previous day's (California Coast) and I was really noticing the lighting as it lit up, felt like a sunrise. I know there were a bunch of out of towners; there were people from Iowa, Toronto, even Spain and Jim had a good time with them.

I remembered that incident with Vanna forgetting the letters happened this week, but I forgot that it happened on Monday. Nice little blooper that made it to air. We got the BR in studio; I needed the P, but one of my other friends got it off RSTLNE. The BR wheel seemed a little further away from the screen than usual, not sure why.

The beginning of a few trends this week starts up here, see what other odd trends come up as the week goes on. A good start to the week once things warmed up.

Never realized how much this applied to more than a simple want.

Katie cleaned up! But she needed a different combo in the BR.

Nate’s hand gestures were cool, especially when he dusted off his LaT in R3. As for Vanna’s mistake in R4 – it was funny, but as Pat says, no one’s perfect.

I would’ve said NICE (instead of VERY) in TU1, but I solved the BR with RSTLNE. Also, I’m surprised by the simplicity of the theme’s graphics. I thought there were be a tropical background or something.

My rating: 7

THE Wheel Genius (but not the only one)
