Can she smell success with any of these Bonus Round categories?

AROUND THE HOUSE

Elizabeth picks Around The House.

$100,000 BONUS ROUND

Featured Car: Chevrolet Traverse ($41K+)

She has her mom and her best friend Myra in the audience!

Bonus Spin: E in GAME

Bonus Puzzle

AROUND THE HOUSE

RSTLNE gives her:

_

N

_

R

AROUND THE HOUSE

JHYO is rather unusual.

_

N

_

Y

J

_

R

AROUND THE HOUSE

She thinks of FUNNY JAR, PHONY JAR, FOAMY JAR, and PONEY JAR. She does not solve CANDY JAR...

...and she can't stick her hand in the Chevy. Elizabeth leaves with an all-cash total of $19,100.

We begin the final segment with a preview of La Ruleta de la Suerte, where they really love their bands. What do we have at home? Well, you gotta wait until the show's over.

Anyway, Pat acknowledges that Spain's version is the longest running of the (active) international versions at its 17th season, and they have at least 5 more to go.

What on earth was the edit at the end of R1?

Not a single one of those TTU puzzles fit the category. Just because a puzzle has the word PLAYING doesn’t make it F&G, especially if it includes half the category name.

That BR was a stumper for me, I had FANCY JAR which is such a Wheel puzzle but they went with an actual item (one that probably should’ve been ITK).

Another pretty normal show, though Round 2 was a bit of a roller coaster.

Even for me, that first Triple Toss-Up felt rather lazy. Either that, or they all should've been categorized as What Are You Doing?.

Somehow, I didn't think of JAR until after Elizabeth picked her letters in the Bonus Round, which is when I also got the first word. This was clearly a CDMA puzzle.

There was definitely a strange edit in round 1 just before the second Toss-Up.

Poor Eric got burned by the wrong letter calls, R2 was especially painful since he just picked up the $10,000 wedge.

C, D, and A would've been excellent choices for letters in the bonus round tonight. I knew she was in trouble picking the obvious J and Y.

Even with a brutal mid-game BANKRUPT, this was an average start to this year’s edition of Wheel Around the World. It’s a bummer Elizabeth couldn’t win a car for her daughter, but the A’s were the way to go in the Bonus Round. I’m surprised she figured out JAR so fast.

As for the Triple Toss-Up – wrong category.

My rating: 5

This wasn't the best start to this season's edition of our favorite theme week, but at least the Trip Puzzle didn't determine the winner this time. And yes, that was a stupid Triple Toss-Up set.

BR: Figured it out with RSTLNE. I dunno why an American car was used this week instead of something like an Audi.

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.
