FIRST THINGS FIRST, Julie and Jesse have solved.

Terrills	Crosleys	Beiers
$1,000

Midweek couples:
Jesse & Julie Terrill (married 8 years): She's the director of tourism in Cache Valley, UT (she gets to tell people where to go everyday) while Jesse's retired from the hair industry after 19 years.
Jordan & Devyn Crosley (married 3 years): Palmdale, CA. They're do-it-yourselfers (she's the brain while Jordan's the brawn) who have a 6-month-old daughter.
Mark & Debi Beier (married 42 years): From the Toledo, OH area, they're college sweethearts who have 2 sons and a daughter-in-law. He was a member of the Navy for 4 years as a dental assistant (the wife's a dental hygienist) and also did radio play-by-play for over 2 decades at the college level (he still works in marketing for the university).

Pat tells Jim to watch out for Mark regarding his biz.

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

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

I was expecting trouble at the end of Round 1, but I guess it would mean more "null" cycles to edit out.

Odd categorization for Round 2, as a bouquet isn't "Living Things" on its own.

I got spoiled on the bonus puzzle around its taping. However, I might have gotten it by recalling its use way back in Season 24.

As far as I'm concerned, there were no replacement puzzles this episode. If it was, I would've made a note about it.

I would've been on the same boat regarding R1 if I was actually up there for real.

This was the first time where I got to see Pat's Mystery Round explanation in the studio (right before it, I could see the operators put the glowing edges on the Mystery Wedges so that you could see the final outcome on TV). On the center screen, after the explanation, it did a rather cool zoom-in to the red arrow.

Not sure if I can call R2's category correct.

Debi played the Triple Toss-Ups really smartly. She had the theme down after the first one and it was the first time I saw a sweep happen in Culver City.

I was afraid that they were gonna cut some incorrect letters in R4, but they thankfully didn't do that. I don't remember Jordan's missolve, though.

BR: If I did spoil the puzzle to some people here a couple months ago, then I'm really sorry about that. As Mecha said, this was a direct reuse from S24.

I was a bit skeptical with that category pick, but I also found out that Lee hates Living Thing and that it's his second lest favorite category (his 3rd least favorite would be Person or People).

The Beiers were a hoot to watch throughout the episode. From fighting over candy to whether to spin or solve in the Prize Puzzle, I haven’t seen a team (playfully) bicker on the show, if at all. 😂

But Debi particularly was a great player. Maybe a W would’ve given her and Mark a shot at the Bonus Round.

I no-lettered Round 2, though not right away. I would’ve said LATE SLEEPER for the second Triple Toss-Up.

My rating: 6
