Gathering at our round "table":
Josh Burstein: From Venice, CA (originally from Tulsa, OK); "run-of-the mill Asian Jew", and Pat sees a sitcom in his future; he lived in a simulated moon base with five European scientists in a habitat that NASA uses, for two weeks in one lunar cycle, just to see how the average person would live off-planet; he's also into Krav Maga (Pat thinks he's a very interesting man, but he has to interview the other two).
Jeremy Tidwell: From Cypress, TX; paramedic/firefighter, and he has three children; he also has 10,000 baseball cards including a Nolan Ryan rookie card
Kelsey Lock: From Kansas City, MO; married to Ben with two children; she's also into darts and koozies, and they probably come from the same bars (she has too many of them).

We think Josh won't mind one of these three Bonus Round categories:

Josh picks In The Kitchen, appropriate since we're celebrating food all week.

He only says BLENDER, SPOONS, and AIRFRYER. He does not solve QUALITY BAKEWARE...

...and we ended up scorching the $40,000. Josh goes home with $17,500 in cash.

In the final segment, Pat and Vanna will eat food in front of our eyes. Today, they're having a large pizza from LaRocco’s Pizzeria! Pat is very specific about his toppings, and this one is a thin-crust with sausage, mushroom, onions, and jalapeños. Vanna calls it the "Sajak Pizza".

I suppose Pat was right about Josh making it in entertainment, though I don't know if it has to be a sitcom.

I no-lettered Round 1, but I missed the second Triple Toss-Up. After that one, I was hoping for a $10,000 win by Jeremy, especially after the dud vowel in the Mystery Round.

I got the bonus puzzle with RSTLNE. Someday, we'll figure out the word QUALITY. I'm somewhat surprised he didn't get BAKEWARE from that one.

Maingame had some pretty solid puzzles for the most part, especially with song lyrics from this century and a good TTU set. Those have been a lot better lately.

That was a weird BR, seems as though they couldn’t decide what adjective to throw in front of BAKEWARE and settled on a stock alternative.

I'm assuming the celebrity chef CWOF last night was intentionally paired with this week.

Another pretty random adjective and noun combo for the bonus round, though it did fit the theme for the week. I blanked on Bakeware, maybe if he called the A he would've gotten it.

Had lunch at Nori Japan while watching this (mall teriyaki just hits different).

That was a decent puzzle lineup tonight, although I had no idea that the Before part of R2 exists.

Josh’s WC use was also quite crucial - he would’ve lost had he not used it.

BR: Of course the Kitchen category would be picked. Unfortunately, it’s another random word pairing that no one would get except if you’re a hardcore watcher.

6/10

The Italy tip came from Road Scholar.

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.

I finally liked an episode for the first time in a while. I haven't enjoyed much episodes lately and I've been missing episodes lately because college has been insane this semester and because of the Mariners being in the playoffs. Now that the Mariners are done I can start focusing on Wheel again.

I liked the main game, it wasn't that bad. Josh and Kelsey surprised me with those first two toss up solves. I tried to get them as early as I could but they got it before me.

A 2000s song lyrics puzzle, nice. Looks like the show might finally be getting into that decade. And the 2010s also as BABY YOU'RE A FIREWORK from Katy Perry's Firework was used earlier this season

Finally a $10K mystery flip. Too many mystery flips lately have been bankrupts its about time we get a $10K one. If we recently had one, I probably missed it. He didn't win it but hey, I'm happy to see a $10K flip though

How did I blank on the word BREATHTAKING

BR of Game 2 on Sunday night started with a Q and now this one starts with a Q. Great job Wheel for stumping me with that letter 2 days in a row

Ah, the return of one of my favorite theme weeks. The set looks like “Let’s Eat!”

As for this episode, the front game was OK, but the contestants made it interesting, particularly Josh.

As someone mentioned, his Wild Card use was the game’s pivotal moment. He might have had a shot at the BR if he picked the A as his vowel. But AIR FRYER was a hilarious guess. 😂

Hooray for a Rihanna song on Wheel! (I solved it with just the S’s.) Kelsey impressed me on TU2, because I haven’t heard that phrase in a while.

I’m surprised Josh didn’t join the hosts in sampling the Culver City food during the credits.

My rating: 6
