Must be Monday. I really goofed in Round 1 when I thought Andrea's guess was correct. I was good with all the other puzzles, at least.

I needed his picks to solve the bonus puzzle. I just couldn't think of anything with the second work completely blank.

I cringed when Chris picked Phrase knowing what we've gotten in bonus round puzzles the past two weeks, but this one was solvable.

Not that great of a start to College Week, especially given the fact that only $500 above the minimum was given away before R3.

R1: I cringed when Andrea said ENROLLING when the N was already there.

R4: Judging by the clock, I thought this round would begin with a Final Spin.

BR: Yes, that category needs to stop being picked. I had it off the RSTLNE and I wonder if Chris would have gotten it had he chosen a B.

5/10

Maybe it would be better to save future puzzles for after the episode has aired (except for any puzzles that were thrown out, as they obviously won't be seen). - Mechamind

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.

The puzzle writing is going to drive me up a wall this week. Repeating the same word in a puzzle three times is the furthest thing from quality.

That crossword was fine but that clue was super weird, I’m not sure I would’ve done “Wind Instruments” even though you blow into all of them. Surprised they didn’t for something like “Strike Up the Band”.

Two QU- puzzles in a row? That’s aggressive, even though this one is a legit phrase and has been done before in 2012.

The start to the fall 2022 edition of College Week could’ve been better, and the B’s would’ve helped Chris in the BR (which I solved with RSTLNE).

As for the stage, kudos to the designers. It looks amazing. 👏🏾

My rating: 5
