DING DING! DING DING!

Time to put an end to this very weird game. Pat spins $500, so we have a $1,500 Final Spin.

Corine: 3 R's
Ola: 2 D's
Joe: P
Corine: H
Ola: 1 Y

At this point, only vowels remain, but as standard procedure, the beeps don't sound.

Joe: N
Corine: M

Whoa there - NOW the staff mentions there are only vowels?!

Ola: 1 O
Joe: 2 E's

D R Y / E R _ S E
B O _ R D
AROUND THE HOUSE

Joe FINALLY solves DRY ERASE BOARD to get the $500 minimum.

WRONG LETTERS (before the FS): T (Joe), L (Ola, used her FS), H (Ola)
WRONG LETTERS (after the FS): P (Joe), H (Corine), N (Joe), M (Corine)
LOSE A TURN: Joe ($0)
BANKRUPT: Corine ($0)

Ola	Joe	Corine
$11,100	$5,450	$2,000

Pat forgot the $500 in Joe's total, but it was corrected in the Bonus Round.

Ola, if you solve this next puzzle, you could win these prizes!
2002 Land Rover Discovery Series 2SE ($37,000+)
2001 Dodge Ram Pickup
2001 Volvo S40 Sedan ($27,000+)
$25,000 cash

Ola didn't bring anybody, but she picks the L envelope.

She solves PRAIRIE for $25,000! Final score: $36,100! And she dances with Pat! Nice going, Ola!

The Bonus Bucks Sweepstakes was occuring at this point. If you signed up, you may have won $5,000 cash!

Had to take a break and my editing time expired, so can someone merge these posts together? This is from Round 4 onward, where I left off.

Or you could, you know, not post partial recaps. Wait until you have it done and post the whole thing at once.

That was one VERY weird game. First Ola smacks Joe's arm when he tried to spin when it was still her turn, and then the non-beeps sound in the Final Spin make things confusing. At least the BR was won and Ola was so much fun.

My rating: 7 (despite the rocky maingame)

Then PM it to yourself. Or use a NotePad document. Or, better yet, do the whole damn recap at once, not over the course of a week and a half.

There are to be no more "drafts" posted here. This section is for completed recaps only. It's not that difficult to work on it in a separate file first. I don't care which of those methods you use, but if you continue to post drafts, you will find your ability to make recaps suddenly disabled.

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.
