Geronimo solves AMERICAN PRESIDENTS.

MacKenna	Geronimo	Quincy
	$1,000

Staying after class:
Geronimo Parra: From Stockton, CA; student at California State University East Bay majoring in biology with a concentration in microbiology, and also minoring in Spanish; he's part of the school's orientation team and welcomes all new students, and he's a resident assistant for incoming freshmen (and that is "a very diverse job"); finally, he wants to say hello to his favorite comedian Gabriel 'Fluffy' Iglesias ("Fluffy people here on Wheel, too!")
Quincy Howard: From Dublin, GA; sophomore at Georgia Institute of Technology majoring in industrial engineering and hopes to get his Master's, plus he made a "4.0" last semester; he's involved in the National Society of Black Engineers, the African-American Student Union, and he says hello to his parents who are both educators (and had a tussle about who give Quincy the skills to be on the show)
MacKenna Daum: From West Hills, CA; sophomore at UC San Diego majoring in biochemistry and on the pre-med track, and she's hoping to pursue anesthesiology some day through that; she's into old music, and she sang in her high school's choir for all 4 years and kept every sheet of music that she ever sang, now playing piano and trying to sing to it to bring back old memories

Looks like he's relieved, and he instantly solves KIDS AT PLAY...

...and he'll play with his new MINI Cooper worth $33,850! Quincy is speeding away with $69,600 in cash and prizes!

In the final segment, Pat talks about a new clock he bought for his bedside table. The guy selling it was excited about a feature that Pat thinks is the dumbest feature...the snooze alarm.

"If you have to get up at 7:00, get up at 7. Why do you want to get up at 6:30 so that you can wake up three more times?" "No more snoozes!" "It's like the nurse who gives you the sleeping pill when she wakes you up in the middle in the night."

Quincy did really good. He never lost a turn in the main game, though he did miss one of the Triple Toss-Ups.

I still haven't gotten the chance to watch, but that Speed-Up makes me wonder if the host ever gave the puzzle away when Pat was on Password. Probably not.

I got the bonus puzzle with RSTLNE, though I also had BOYS AT PLAY (and even GUYS AT PLAY) as backup. Good thing he picked the D, though he might have solved without it. Two trips and a car!

Quincy gets an A for cleaning up, and his car win was well-deserved! Picking the right letters in the BR helped him (and me) narrow down the puzzle. Geronimo and Mackenna were also fun to watch.

I no-lettered R2 and solved R1 and R4 with just the first correct letter (S). But READING A BOOK was my guess on TTU1.

My rating: 8

And we have another fantastic college contestant in the name of Quincy!

However, R3 was a train wreck to say the least. I sure wouldn't have turned down the Express and MacKenna definitely paid the price for it spinning LaT a few (aired) spins later. And I dunno where Geronimo would think the P would go.

BR: I solved it just after Quincy finished picking his letters (I initially had BOYS and GUYS). This was one of those weeks where I would be fine with the cash minimum popping up.

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.
