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

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

That was different for a Mystery flip, declining a $6,000 offer for the cash prize. Too bad it was the BANKRUPT space. Even with that, this was an okay maingame.

One word Bonus Round! I needed his picks to solve it with the vowel overload, and that was a nice win.

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

I would not have gone for the Mystery wedge with $6,000 in hand. Unfortunately it was indeed a bad move.

Picking I as the vowel for a What Are You Doing? bonus puzzle usually isn't a good idea, but this time of course it was the vowel to pick!

We've been having an unusual streak of normal R4 gameplay (even though in this one it only lasted a couple of turns). To put into perspective, the most recent show with an immediate R4 final spin was the Valentine's Day show.

Everyone did okay this episode, even though Deepshiv needed the pricey Trip Puzzle to win (and I also agree that was a stupid Mystery flip).

BR: This was a good idea to call the I, and Deepshiv did exactly that.

Everyone was fun to watch, particularly Forrest. I wouldn’t have flipped the Mystery wedge if I were Deepshiv, but it was still early in the game. And without the pricey Prize Puzzle vacation, Cece would’ve won the game with just over $8,000. Wow.

But Deepshiv picked the right letters in the Bonus Round (I thought this puzzle would trip him up).

My rating: 7
