While I'm tying up this recap from MY PRIVATE HIDEOUT, the middle word stumps Jeremy, so no MERCEDES BENZ.

JEREMY’S FINAL TOTAL: $49,618 ($30,400 plus the Switzerland and Barbados trips)

The XL logo was not used for the envelope picked.

The Wheel Watchers Club makes numerous at-home viewers lucky winners, right? Over the years, they’ve given away over $12 million in cash and prizes to home viewers, and they’ve changed some lives. All you have to do to have a chance to win is to just do what you’re already doing: just watch them, go to wheeloffortune.com, and join the Wheel Watchers Club. The hosts are banned from it, understandably.

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

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

Too bad Neetu just had rotten luck the whole time. I got the bonus puzzle with RSTLNE. I thought the top row would be easier, but apparently not.

Pat makes an indirect comment about Monday's big win "last night", and a Facebook post from April 24 promoting Jeremy's appearance mentioned the date as May 2.

Monday's episode may have been hard to beat, but Jeremy definitely made the most of it in this episode.

I was wondering as well. It didn't help that the wheel just didn't cooperate with her.

I also no-lettered R1 (pretty easy to do if you know what topics the show covers for Headlines) and R3.

BR: Also RSTLNEd. Perhaps a P would've steered him in the right direction.

Jeremy cleaned up; he needed help with the second word of the Bonus Puzzle. And some news articles reported that a lot of people thought Pat misinterpreted Neetu’s guess in the second Toss-Up, though I’m pretty sure heard her say IN. But man, she couldn’t catch a break! 😔

I had a feeling this episode and the previous one were switched. At first, I thought Pat was referring to Robb’s score when he mentioned a “big win,” and the gift tag has been the same all week.

And believe it or not, I no-lettered the first three main round puzzles. I’m not sure when that happened last!

My rating: 7
