PHRASE

...to grow an extra $40,000! Robbie is leaving with $61,500 in cash and trip!

In the final segment, Vanna says she was watching Robbie after he called the letters. He had that big smile on his face, and she knew he had it. Pat, however, says that the nightmare as a host is that you joke around that they know it, but they don't. Lucky for Pat, Robbie knew it. Pat feels personally responsible, and he would give them the money out of Vanna's purse.

Naturally, I had to root for Robbie after he said he was in the audience during daytime. Who knows if Susan Stafford was turning letters at the time?

I thought he was headed for a sweep, but he still had a good first half, even if Rounds 1 and 2 were low-scoring.

To make up for some of my previous struggles, I no-lettered this bonus puzzle.

Since mechamind is forced to be on phone power, I went along and put up the finishing touches (such as subtracting $400 from Robbie's R3 score).

Yes, I will agree that Robbie was a good player, despite the wheel being just nasty.

BR: RSTLNEd it. Robbie picked some nice letters (H aside) for an easy solve.

6/10

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.

Welcome back, log cabin!

Robbie dominated, but what was with the wheel this episode?! 😡 I’m glad the ladies got on the board thanks to the Triple Toss-Ups.

I solved the BR with RSTLNE, and Robbie picked the right letters. He scared me with his brief pause.

My rating: 6

THE Wheel Genius (but not the only one)
