Her final answer is...PEACEFUL JAGUAR, so the POWERFUL JAGUAR ran away with the $45,000 Marissa could've won.

MARISSA’S FINAL TOTAL: $29,880 ($21,500 plus the Antigua trip)

Every commercial, Vanna runs like a mad woman behind the puzzle board to eat nuts. Pat’s holding a box of peanuts and notices the pecans are all gone, so Vanna would eat all the cashews but has no particular reason she starts that way. Pat suggests alphabetical order and gives her the box of peanuts for her to eat.

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

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

Not quite like the first two rounds yesterday, but fun to have a Mystery win. I no-lettered Round 1 this time, and I "no-puzzled" the third Triple Toss-Up.

I got the bonus puzzle with RSTLNE, though I also thought of COUGAR as an alternate. Since when do you think of a Jaguar as peaceful?

Also, the cashews are back.

My DPG puzzle solos: IMDB, LYNX, OKAMI, JUMP CUT, VIC VIPER, and ASDFMOVIE.

My DPG partials: Too many.

~~Just out of curiosity, what did wheelfan910 originally say in his post? When I finished up the recap, it was apparently edited out by Kev.~~ Got a PM regarding that comment.

This was another good maingame. Just when Ryan tries to close in on Marissa in the Triple T-Us, Marissa managed to pull it away in the last 2 rounds.

The Mystery win was spoiled for me, though.

BR: Oh brother, talk about baffling. It is tough in the studio, but how Marissa thought P _ _ E R _ _ L is PEACEFUL is beyond me.

Nice match tonight between Marissa and Ryan with Ryan’s $10K win, Marissa’s prize puzzle solve, and Marissa putting a good total in Round 1.

Had the speed up puzzle with only the N’s and S’s

Had the bonus puzzle with her picks

It was the match between Marissa and Ryan. And hooray for a $10K Mystery wedge win! 😁

I no-lettered Rounds 1 and 5, but I’m surprised Marissa blanked on the first word of the Bonus Round. At least she helped me narrow down the second word with her letters (it could’ve been COUGAR).

My rating: 6
