She says JAM, then she guesses RHUBARB JAM. To everyone's surprise, she's right!

She wasn't expecting to finish with that bonus $40,000! Angela leaves with $69,107 in cash and prizes!

In the final segment, Pat brings up Maggie's social media role. She's been coming out here a lot, even when she was 1 year old, she did a close with her brother when she was 4 or 5, and she's even filled in for Vanna. About 15 years ago, Pat and Maggie went on a father/daughter shopping spree to New York, and we get to see some video of her. Pat's just standing outside the change rooms while a 12-year old Maggie tries on different clothes.

Returning to the studio, Maggie appears with Pat and Vanna. Maggie's not actually like we see on the tapes, as she has her own credit card and is very sensible about money. Pat appreciates that! She says she'll take him on a shopping spree next.

Desktop users won't notice, but mobile users should. I've adjusted the template so that the categories, contestant names, and scores are now centered as they are on a desktop recap. That's probably the last template modification I'll make, obviously barring any changes to the show's gameplay.

Another predictable pair of Triple Toss-Ups after the first one. I didn't need any letters for either one, and I even got them in order.

I like rhubarb, and yet I couldn't figure out that word in the bonus puzzle. She said the answer clearly enough that I don't know if it was an edit or if they just weren't prepared for a win with her letter choices.

I waited till today to "splurge" on this week's episodes. It didn't help that the BR outcome was spoiled yet again for me on TikTok (although I solved it with what was up there).

Aside from Angela getting lucky winning a few prizes, this was just an "okay" maingame.

Triple T-U: Yes, that was a very predictable set. And didn't we just use DEBIT CARD last season?

BR: Shocker! Loved the moment when she solved it too.

7/10

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.

Angela’s probably gonna do a lot of shopping after this game. She cleaned up and impressed me in the Bonus Round!

As soon as I solved Round 4, I figured it would be tricky because… it’s Bonus Round material. But I no-lettered the first Toss-Up.

My rating: 8
