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.

Somehow, I didn't think YOUNG at first in the Bonus Round, but I solved the puzzle with 6 seconds remaining.

This episode could’ve gone more smoothly, but at least everyone won something and was fun to watch.

I’ve never heard of a Boot Hill until now (per Wikipedia, it’s a type of cemetery). And I remember the Bonus Round puzzle from over six years ago… which explains me RSTLNE’ing it.

My rating: 5
