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.

Boy, Keith gave us a great main game! I didn't know if I should be nervous about his spins, but I was able to relax in Round 1. Again, the others had a tough competitor.

I can't be the only one who guessed FIZZY COLA with RSTLNE. At least I got the puzzle with his picks. CDMA is helpful here.

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

Keith really dominated the main game! Too bad he couldn't get the bonus round puzzle too. I know milk is used to make foam for some coffee drinks, but who says FOAMY milk? I figured the second word was milk when I saw the L, but couldn't think of foamy.

We've had some big maingame winners this week and this one was no exception as well. Keith being able to keep his spin power in control really helped as well.

BR: I also was able to solve it. I'm still surprised we managed to go 3 for 3 after Wednesday, but figured we wouldn't go 5-0 anyway.

Keith crushed the front game! He seemed really focused and got lucky with his spins. It’s a real bummer he didn’t solve his Bonus Puzzle; honestly, I don’t describe milk that way.

I smell Bonus Round material in Round 4! Is this a trend? 😏

My rating: 8
