Another near-sweep, but no gooseeggs this time.

I guessed GARLIC TOAST for the first Triple Toss-Up, but at least I knew the second one. I also got the third, even if it sounds icky.

I got the bonus puzzle with RSTLNE. I was not sure he'd get it, but he suddenly got it!

Recaps will be on hiatus as of May 27, 2024 due to life changes.

It was nice to have Paschal win after his tough luck losing the MDW one spin after picking it up.

Oh joy, another repeated word puzzle...

I got the bonus puzzle just before he did, a pretty impressive solve! We're off to a great start in the bonus round so far this year.

This game wasn't a pretty one until the third round with Paschal's Express run.

BR: When I meant familiar (I RSTLNEd it), there were three bonus puzzles in 2019 that were very similar to this one. The producers were banking for 0-3 so far, but we managed to do 3-0. Go figure.

After a rocky first segment, Paschal picked things up thanks to his Express run. He stunned me with his Bonus Round solve!

I’m happy the ladies scored a Triple Toss-Up given his dominance (and the wheel’s tirade). In fact, everyone was fun to watch, particularly Rachael! (What are the odds we’d have two contestants with the same name, but different spellings, on consecutive episodes?)

I no-lettered Round 2, and I figured it would be tricky. But I thought the Crossword puzzle involved numbers, not units of measurements.

My rating: 7

THE Wheel Genius (but not the only one)
