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

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

A great maingame tonight with all three contestants having over $15,000 heading into round 4 and Ashley coming back to win thanks to the Triple Toss Up sweep.

Pat bringing the rubber fish out at the end was funny.

Pretty easy bonus puzzle, especially with the Os revealed.

Everyone did great in this tight match, and their introductions were interesting to watch. But Ashley made one of the best comebacks I’ve seen on Wheel! I kinda wish she won more than $40K in the Bonus Round, but I like seeing an all-cash sum. 👏🏾

Hmm, I wonder what IT is in Round 1. And speaking of the Bonus Round, I’m not sure if the A was necessary.

My rating: 8

Ashley's comeback just goes to show that it ain't over until it's over. I no-lettered the BR and Ashley picked some key letters to walk away with a nice cash sum.

One of the new tracks in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC featured this city, and it might be the best looking city track in the entire game. It's also the only Tour track where there's a separate checkpoint that caught me off guard racing it for the first time!
