I’ve been inconsistent on end recaps, but the record for smallest known distance between third and first is $138, on April 11, 2000.

This is probably going to be on my personal top-ten list of favorite episodes of S41.

Well hey there, “should’ve been premiere week bonus puzzle”.

Jim actually indirectly spoiled this win on his Facebook page a couple days ago. You could see the winning contestant with his family at the Lincoln and his final total on one of the offstage monitors.

This was an actual good borderline great episode, huzzah. A lot of action and some interesting decisions (I thought R3 ended with YOU USED TO HAVE in the usual dumb prize puzzle way, so I didn't mind Devin's V call... but in retrospect that was too risky).

I also had WAVES in R1... so used to their prize puzzle writing, clearly....

WOFTracker Progress - Discontinued I'm afraid, but still plenty of old shows here.

I'd "CAVES" in R1 and I was surprised that it wasn't correct, because logically mountains and caves are together. Thankfully, Devin had another chance at solving it.

Devin should've called "P" first while on the Express. Either way, the "V" call would still cost her the money and the trip.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind a $6K Speed-Up if the second-place or the third-place is the one giving the final spin, which gives them a chance for a comeback win. I thought Mario won the game but I realized that he was off by $599. So close. Overall, a tight match with all three contestants winning at least $20K.

BR wise, I would've avoided calling an "A" and ended up being unable to solve the BR puzzle. Pat's good feeling on Mark's calls and Mark successfully solving the BR puzzle made this episode a good ending.

There are reasons why this show is called "Wheel of Fortune". The twists and turns in this episode has proven to me why.

A great episode tonight with all three contestants finishing with big totals and such a close difference between all three scores.

Wow, two bonus round wins in a row! Mark did give a bit of a scare not getting it right away though.

During the Vanna and pat when he said who is going to check after his shot in the dark guess. I cannot help but think about us and our forum. "August of 97". and I mean that in a good way.

I was able to RSTLNE the Bonus Round puzzle, but my goodness, that's the second time that I can remember where third place got at least $20,000. To have that happen followed by a Bonus Round win? Oh, yeah. That's a $100K night! Little did we know that it would actually be just the beginning of an incredible night for Wheel.

Boy, this is the wildest episode of season 41 I’ve seen so far (in a good way). 🤯

It seemed like Devin would dominate after her second chance in Round 1, but I think her nerves got the better of her on the Express. And I honestly thought Mario would go from worst to first thanks to a big Final Spin.

But one big spin did it for Mark, and like Tameka, he picked the right letters in the Bonus Round!

By the way, I no-lettered Round 4.

My rating: 8
