Living with us for the next half hour:
Michelle Eby: From Newbury Park, CA; married to her husband Josh with two sons; the family loves RV'ing and has been to 46 different states including Alaska, and they've also been to Canada
De'shawna Yamini: From Dayton, OH; had musical ambitions and used to write rap music when she was a teen, and she wanted to be like Queen Latifah; people think she looks like Viola Davis when they meet her (Pat gets tired of the Brad Pitt comparison)
Mark McGowan: From Myrtle Beach, SC (claims to live "just down the road" from Vanna); a craft beer guy who like sampling...in moderation, of course, exploring different tastes and flavors

Wow. At least De'shawna goes home with $46,690 in cash and prizes.

In the final segment, Vanna asks if Pat ever dozes off..."Hello?" Guess what Pat did. Actually, Pat's always alert and hanging on Vanna's every word. After saying goodbye, he has to go to sleep.

Well, this was a roller coaster of a birthday episode.

Some good main game winnings, and nothing too bad in terms of gameplay. I'm still having some trouble with the main game puzzles, though.

Not counting sweeps, when was the last time we had consecutive shows with gooseegg victims? With the Triple Toss-Up, it's going to be a lot less common.

I started with FIGHT TO in the Bonus Round, but I solved the puzzle with her picks. I guess dudding on the XL wedge softened the blow just a little bit.

Ever.

Ugh, another $100,000/$1,000,000 loss this season. Pat pretending to doze off on Vanna in the close was funny though.

Barring the BR, De’Shawna cleaned up! The R1 puzzle definitely fit her throughout the front game. She and Michelle impressed me on the Triple Toss-Ups (I only solved #3 and would’ve flubbed #1 with TOMATO something).

I solved the BR with De’Shawna’s picks. It’s a real bummer she missed out on the big one, but for it to happen on the Tuesday episode of an XL Week again? Wow. 😳

My rating: 7

Happy birthday, mechamind!

Well, this was something.

De'shawna managed to get on a nice roll starting with picking up that expensive Fiji trip late in R2. I also had trouble figuring out some of these puzzles (no way I would've gotten TTU3 that quickly).

I RSTLNEd the Bonus even though I wasn't sure. I think calling O instead of A would have done it, but having the $100K be lost on a Tuesday of an XL week again?! Wow.

I got spoiled on the result via a YT comment, but still.

5/10

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.
