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

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

First spin and then call an A. I had the first word to the bonus puzzle with RSTLNE, but I needed the D for the second word. We're doing well right now!

Things started pretty slow this Groundhog Day, no thanks to a multiple being left out in each of the first three rounds. David, however, was able to pick up some steam in the PP round and never looked back after.

BR: I needed the D in the second word as well. Meg, I'd start to sweat if I were you.

I agree with logicman27 that the men played modestly in the first half, but David boosted this episode thanks to the Prize Puzzle and Final Spin. And the D’s helped David nail the Bonus Round. I’m glad Rachel solved a puzzle that kinda fits me.

Speaking of the Bonus Round puzzle, it’s not just a flower, it’s the name of a band Fergie was in before she joined the Black Eyed Peas.

Oh, and why did I think we were on the set of Wheel Across America? 🤦🏾‍♂️

My rating: 7
