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

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

More hit and miss for me with the puzzles. I couldn't get MARYLAND, RESIGNATION, or ANTHROPOLOGY. However, I "no-lettered" BIOLOGY and ZOOLOGY. At first, I thought CELEBRATING for the Speed-Up.

I got the bonus puzzle with RSTLNE. Once he got BLOUSE, I figured the first word would come to him, and it did!

Does anyone know the exact date for the flashback clip? The recapper at the time (acwof ) didn't mention the Pat Chats unlike us.

Otherwise, Michael did good. I'll admit that I has the same guess as his for TTU3.

BR: Also RSTLNEd. Nice job on "talking it out".

Happy birthday Pat! 🎊🎂

A “Teacher Edition” of America’s Game? How thoughtful! (I noticed it right before R2.) 👍🏾

Michael was a good player, and I’m also glad he talked this fairly easy BR out to win it (again, I got it with RSTLNE). I no-lettered R1 and TTU2, and no truer words were ever spoken in the Prize Puzzle.

My rating: 7

THE Wheel Genius (but not the only one)
