BONUS ROUND:

He survived a $6,000 Speed-Up against him, so is that an indication? Todd is the one in Bonus Land.

He has his girlfriend and father in the audience!

He gives the Bonus Wheel a spin, settling with the A. That puzzle right there...

Larry also did very well, but man was that wheel BRUTAL towards him. I think they had the Prize Puzzle daily starting season 23 because it became so popular.

Makes no sense to me... That's different from Family Week in Seattle and Family Vacations in season 20.

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.
