PLACE

PHRASE

Patti picks Phrase.

$100,000 BONUS ROUND

Patti happened to bring her friend Doris with her!

Bonus Spin: I in AMERICA'S

Patti begins walking ahead of Pat before realizing her mistake. Pat must go first, but he'll go around the other way instead.

Bonus Puzzle

PHRASE

RSTLNE gives her:

_

T

E

_

E

_

PHRASE

She almost begins with a vowel, but she goes BDMA.

_

T

E

A

_

E

_

PHRASE

She says QUITE A WAY, QUITE A CHECK, and QUITE A CHEF. That's quite a try, but she could not solve QUITE A VIEW...

...and we could not view her reaction to a $40,000 win. Patti leaves with $23,282 in cash and prizes.

In the final segment, Pat comments that every time the duo does a close, no matter how he feels, he looks over there at that puzzle...Vanna catches on to what he's saying. "Thank you!" Pat still has quite a view.

I got the bonus puzzle with RSTLNE, finally locking onto the correct answer for once.

Oof. That was a brutal bonus puzzle. I also RSTLNEd it, but there was no way this could be won.

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.

BR was tough but it’s a legit phrase, featuring two of their favorite BR words in one.

Don't have much to add with this one, Patti had a lot of energy and I wish some of it came Tashana and Josh's way. Just felt off-balance in studio.

Patti was a good puzzle solver, got closer than a lot of others would on that BR. We had it off RSTLNE, but we also know their ways.

There was definitely something cut from that closing, something about how even when he's not feeling his best, he still has quite a view in front of him.

One last thing, actually ended up seeing Patti when I went and saw the Kelly Clarkson show a few months ago, very weird to see her in a different place just a few months later.

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

I got the bonus with just the RSTLNE, but it was tough only putting the A up with her letters.

This was an OK game, with Patti earning a nice final score. Her quip with Pat in the BR was hilarious, but she got dealt a tough hand in that round.

I was hoping Josh would spin for more in R3, but what if he BANKRUPTED and missed out on the trip? I’m glad he won something because he was a real sport.

I solved the first three rounds with the E’s and solved the last TTU as quickly as Josh did. As for the BR, I got it with RSTLNE.

My rating: 6
