ON THE MAP

Jenn solves GENEVA SWITZERLAND.

Tiffany	Jenn	Greg
	$1,000

Traveling with us today:
Jenn Koch: From Louisville, KY; married to her husband Todd for 13 years, and they have 3 children; she's been a library media specialist at an elementary school for 11 years and counting; she also did the "runway thing", and she's still involved in fashion by making clothes (her students call them costumes), sewing for herself, others, and the runway
Greg Weichert: From North Fort Myers, FL; married to his wife Cathy for almost 37 years, and they have a blended family of 6 children, 14 grandchildren, and 9 great-grandchildren; occasionally, Santa needs help in the holidays, so he fills in the lead and has done so for 25 years; he started a real beard about 6 years ago, and kids even pull on it...so Pat naturally has to tug on it himself, something he's never done before ("What would you like for Christmas, Pat?")

Tiffany Jones: From Atlanta, GA; she's been called "Sunshine" for 20+ years, and she has one 29-year-old son and a 10-month-old grandson; Tiffany works as a court reporter, and now she typically speaks everything that's said instead of typing it out

Pat apologizes to Santa over there for tugging on the beard.

Greg was a fun contestant. The game, however, felt like a step backwards from last night, with more weight towards the Trip Puzzle plus a gooseegg. At least the Triple Toss-Up puzzles were much better.

I could only get the first word in the Bonus Round after the H was revealed. FGHI obviously wins this one.

(After today, I'm going to be away until the 15th. I'm guessing that I'll only be doing Friday that week, even though I'd also be available for Thursday.)

Tough bonus, probably needed the F and/or C to have a shot.

Jenn dominated, but she got dealt a tough hand in the BR (I only got HUGE like she did). Greg was fun to watch, and Pat’s pull of his beard had me in stitches. 😂 Too bad Tiffany couldn’t get a share of the winnings, but she seemed to enjoy herself.

Oh, and I’ve never heard of a cup of kindness until now. But I solved TU1 with the first two letters.

My rating: 6

THE Wheel Genius (but not the only one)

Jenn was a good player this night, and Greg was a lot of fun to watch regarding he looked like Santa Claus.

R3 was blatantly terrible Trip Puzzle writing, but I've seen worse regarding trip values (and like last night, it didn't determine the winner).

BR: I too was stumped. FGHI was the clear winner here.

6/10

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.
