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

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

Good game for the other two, but a shame that Vanessa couldn't jump in. Like Cory, I got the bonus puzzle with RSTLNE.

This follow-up to last night's clean sweep was quite the exciting one even though Cory needed the PP trip to win the game.

BR: What's up with these long puzzles this week? It didn't stop Cory from RSTLNEing it and winning that nice Mustang (they really have stepped up their game with these BR cars this season).

Boy, it was the high-scoring battle between Nicole and Cory!

Cory was a great player. I probably would’ve spun once more in the Prize Puzzle to confirm the third word wasn’t FISH. I dunno how he managed to solve the Bonus Round with RSTLNE. His car win was well-deserved! (I had no idea the Ford Mustang was that expensive.)

Had Nicole swept the Triple Toss-Up, she would’ve won the game, but her total is nothing to sneeze at. I think Pat told her not to panic in Round 2, but she had me doing so with her close calls in that round!

As for Vanessa… well, doggone it, she just didn’t have much of a shot.

My rating: 8 9

THE Wheel Genius (but not the only one)
