WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Tanesha solves MEETING WITH FRIENDS.

Bob	Missy	Tanesha
		$1,000

Meeting with our newest friends:
Tanesha Williams: From Vancouver, WA; married to Willie for 11 years, and they have a big family of 11 kids plus a grandson; she plays Bingo on Wednesday and gives fun facts every day (Today's fact: In the 60's, Egyptians actually made the first marshmallows; they actually used sap from a tree with nuts and honey); speaking of labor, her mother was in labor while watching the show, and the sound of Pat's and Vanna's voices "helped her push".
Bob Kelly: From Cleveland, TN; client services manager for a marketing company; he's newly married for 3 months to his "smokin' hot wife" Michelle, and between us, they have 7 kids and 3 grandkids; Bob's also a "metalcore music guy", metalcore being heavy melodic rock...that throws in some screaming ("It's very soothing."); he's even a superhero guy, collecting "figures and things", and Pat suggests game show host superheroes (Bob's already looking for figures of both)
Missy Watson: From New Braunfels, TX; married to her "rockstar husband" Bernie of 10 years, and they have 3 girls, one of whom pushed Missy to get on the show; she's a sign language interpreter and loves it, and she's an instructor; she also speaks Cajun French, which is a little bit different from normal French (One of her example phrases is "Laissez les bon temps rouler!")

He says PRACTING, PRANCING, PRACTICING, and PRUNING for the first word, followed by FALAFEL ANEW for the second row. He does not solve PROVIDING VALUABLE INFO...

...and Pat's info about the $40,000 envelope is no longer valuable. Bob still had a good night with $39,948 in cash and trip.

In the final segment, Pat and Vanna talk about how they're happy to partner with HSN and HSN+ for this week's shopping spree shows. HSN was founded over 40 years ago as the first ever shopping network, and now they have the HSN+ app to stream their shows. Plenty of content, and of course...shopping! Pat knew Vanna would bring that up.

Once again, a good start to the week. Bob had a good Round 1 and a better Round 3.

I guess those Triple Toss-Ups were meant to be themed to the week, so they couldn't put in something weird for the third one.

I needed Bob's picks to solve the bonus puzzle. That was just too long (and the first word too empty) for me to think of anything good between the initial six and Bob calling his vowel.

I solved the bonus puzzle just before the buzzer, I was hesitant that the last word would be INFO since it's an abbreviation.

All three contestants earned great totals and had delightful personalities, but Bob cleaned up! That Bonus Round puzzle was tricky, however. I didn’t pick Tanesha would pick a J in Round 4 that early, and Missy impressed me with her quick solve on the last Toss-Up.

I sure wasn’t expecting Japan to be the Prize Puzzle trip; I had Central America in mind. And I like this stage’s accent colors (bright pink and blue).

My rating: 7

THE Wheel Genius (but not the only one)
