Thursday's SoCal people:

Christina Smith: Long Beach. The yeller in the studio has a 4-year-old daughter (who's also very energetic). She also collects ticket stubs (she's closer to a hoarder).

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

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

Yeah, that was definitely a fail for the editors regarding R4. At least keep it in if that's going to be tonight's promo!

Otherwise, Christina was definitely loud and proud. She reminds me a bit of Les from 11/6/01 (albeit a bit more subtle), so I'm glad she won.

BR: An easy RSTLNE from me and the exact same goes for Christina. Well done!

FOOD & DRINK

Totally forgot to reveal the answer, but here you go. Kinda regretted doing that one last week (given that week 6 is food-themed), but I started making an authentic Italian recipe of that from TikTok.

Ridiculous Speed-Up Rhyme Time is ridiculous. And it's an easy RSTLNE for me in Bonus Land as well.

I spotted another edit at the very start of the round, meaning at least nine wrong letters were cut. All of the ones shown in the promo were at a point where everyone had money.

Look closely at the top-right corner soon as it cuts to the split screen shot. The blue podium is flashing and Gregg can be seen mouthing a letter (looks like L, probably called along with T and R to start off).

Aside from a slightly bumpy R3, this episode’s front game was better than the previous three.

Christina was a fun contestant, as indicated by her yelling during the show’s opening! She was also a strategic player, and her $45K BR win was well-deserved (of course, I nailed it with RSTLNE like she did). I could say the same thing about Erica – how she solved R4 is beyond me (the closest I came to the correct answer was SNAPPY AND HAPPY).

I no-lettered R2, TTU1, and the first word of TU1. Speaking of the Triple Toss-Up – yeah, it’s gonna be a weekly occurrence, but I’ll get used to it. 😉

My rating: 7
