Owen solves FAMOUS CHEF.

Owen	Yodit	Jess
$1,000

Thursday's contestants:
Owen Panno: Laguna Beach. A self-taught piano player (he LIED at his audition when he was 16 years old and so he spent a couple weeks online teaching himself which key was which) and big basketball fan (who doesn't play because he sucks at it). He towers over Pat (in which Pat's head reaches his shoulders) and his father Carlo was a J! writer in the 80s.
Yodit Teklu: San Diego (recently moved back from Los Angeles). Ambulatory care clinical pharmacist at an academic medical center who’s a huge fan of doughnuts.
Jess Lapansee: El Paso, TX. Married to Steve (Air Force member) with a son (Gavin; she bakes with him every Saturday). She was also a competitive figure skater for 15 years.

You may recognize Owen from the official series premiere (2nd overall aired ep.) of the 2019 ABC reboot of “Press Your Luck” where he nearly won but then WHAMMIED after being passed the very last spin of the game. So with that being said, hopefully his luck turns around on this show.

The RSTLNE in the Bonus Round is a bit of a guidance, but most of the time, it still leaves a wide open space. Not often does a contestant luck their way into calling every letter in the puzzle and that was the case here.

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

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

Owen was really good tonight, and I figured his skill would carry over to bonus land. I needed his picks to solve it.

It seemed like Yodit would run away with the game, but Owen made a great comeback! His final sum is well-deserved. Too bad Jess didn’t have much of a shot this episode. 👏🏾

I solved some of the puzzles as fast as he did (in fact, I no-lettered R4) and the BR midway through his letter-picking.

My rating: 7

Big redemption for Owen after whamming out on his past game show appearance! I had the BR off RSTLNE and he made some excellent choices to walk away with a nice all-cash sum.
