Pat and Vanna knew each other for a long time, and they never exchanged gifts before. They probably won't do it.

There's a reason this show has been on so long.

I'll never quit watching. Hopefully, you won't either.

Another one-word bonus puzzle! I was a bit slow to figure out the word, but I got it when the timer started. I guess I was just thrown off by the rest of my day since I won't be travelling after all.

Bonus Round's puzzle was last used in Season 30 on December 4th, 2012, and didn't solve for the car. As of today, the same thing as that episode with the bonus puzzle.

Next program is Celebrity Wheel of Fortune in my local location, but the episode was reran from December 6th.

Tim was another solid player this week. However, this should've been a 5-round game. It wasn't even 7:49 that the bells rang with most of the puzzle filled in.

I got the bonus puzzle before Vanna could light up the R.

Tim sure manifested his appearance on Wheel, didn’t he? He cleaned up thanks to the two trips, but perhaps the I’s would’ve helped him in the BR. I’m glad Nicole got on the board towards the end; I feared she’d fall for the SECRET trap in TU1.

By the way, I no-lettered R4.

My rating: 6

THE Wheel Genius (but not the only one)
