They should've used MY JAW DROPPED from 3/4/08, S25. That variation sounds just as weird, but a little better.
My jaw is literally dropping.
Guess that's an exchange for that overhead shot dubbing. 
Funny enough, I'm pretty sure I would have guessed the correct string of letters if there had been a cut. I like when Pat makes comments about the struggling gameplay besides "No (letter)", especially when we can actually hear them. An abundance of missolves here, including a repeated one when it looked like Tracie wasn't even trying.
Barring Vegas, I think those were the first decent top dollar reactions since that one episode of Weekend Getaways with that huge maingame.
