Our next veterans:
Rory Scott: From Caledonia, MI; in the Army for 8 years as a combat medic...but was also a male model once (also the way he paid for college), and he has Pat asking why male models always look at their watches
Olga Briggs: From San Diego, CA; served in the Marine Corps for 5 years as a supply administration and personnel specialist, and she's also the first member of the family to be in the military and the first to go to college; her grandfather and uncle both served for the Army during the Korean and Vietnam wars, and she never met a woman Marine before, and she got her title; she even has a son in the Navy and a daughter, and she also has a grandbaby. Thankfully, this Marine is not as mean as she used to be.

He says ARID LAND and URGENT LAND. He does not solve A FRIGID POND...

...and we're wondering where the $40,000 goes now. Rory leaves with $21,954 in cash and trip.

In the final segment, the bonus puzzle reminded Pat of Vanna and how he knows a lot of things. Vanna won't get in any body of water unless it's at least 87° to 90°. She heats up a pool...but she still drinks cold water. She'd obviously never do a cold plunge, nor would she take a cold shower. It's time for Pat to stop.

Another weird schedule for me. Those Triple Toss-Ups reminded me that I had to speed through this recap like a cheetah.

Somehow, I didn't get START in the Crossword. Gary just got it over with, and I can't blame him.

I needed Rory's picks to solve the bonus puzzle. I was stuck on BANK for the third word before that.

Not sure why Olga went with the K in the Crossword. I couldn't think of START either though.

Great job by Rory on the TTU sweep then solving the Speed Up puzzle. I thought the Ds and the G might've been enough for him to solve the bonus puzzle.

Definitely a step down from the previous episode (aside from the Triple T-U sweep)…

R2: START also eluded me. Olga just didn’t remember the T was in play…

R3: Surprised this round took that long as I was able to get it early on.

R4: I smelled that edit from a mile away…pretty sure that spin took a dip into the black wedge causing a re-spin.

BR: I got the bottom line from the magic six, but needed Rory’s picks to complete it.

5/10

The unclaimed Alaskan Cruise came from American Cruise Lines.

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 concur with logicman27 that barring Rory’s Triple Toss-Up sweep, this episode was not that great. After her R2 blunder, the wheel was just nasty to Olga. I think R3 could’ve been solved a little earlier.

I no-lettered everything but START in R2 and solved the BR with Rory’s picks. Perhaps the I’s would’ve put him in the right direction.

My rating: 5
