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

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

Another Mystery win and a Triple Toss-Up sweep. Not too much otherwise. I didn't get the bonus puzzle, as I wasn't able to put together a valid phrase. CDMA would help again.

Everybody did OK tonight (including another $10K MW winner). The reason why SPIN ID isn't available on the 10/24 episode is because of XL-themed day, instead of the SPIN ID, we go for the Vacay giveaway.

Hoo boy, this was quite the juxtaposed game.

I'm glad Rebecca won as she was quite a fun contestant, but everyone made at least one critical mistake that kinda dragged things down. It is nice to see a BANKRUPT-free game for once, but the $5K drought continues...

BR: No way this would be won. I also didn't come up with anything that fit.

This time, I decided to highlight a random South Florida city. Speaking of which, I have yet to complete the S19 remote to that area (which will be done by the beginning of November).

This game could’ve been better, but Rebecca was a hoot to watch. Had we come back to Marc during the Final Spin, he might’ve come from behind. Shockingly, I correctly guessed the BR with RSTLNE, and that was a real toughie.

Even before the first letter popped up on TTU1, I figured we’d have a compound-word theme.

My rating: 5
