A Season 20 episode has surfaced courtesy of Dawn. Unfortunately, it's missing the Bonus Round, but the fact that the title has "pt 1" implies Dawn will upload that in the near future. The theme this week is "Wheel Takes Manhattan"...in Culver City. Round 2 is yet ANOTHER case of "When in doubt, call F...for Failure". Also, they actually sound the Only Vowels Left beeps in a Speed-Up for once, and on the same turn at that! Something I noticed here... when the Where Are We? puzzle is solved, it's solved for less than the minimum. However, the minimum doesn't appear to apply if the trivia bonus is won. In past cases (such as the infamous PRISTINELY Megaword round), the contestant would be bumped to the minimum even if they got the bonus, as their score was raised before they would answer the question. When did they change this rule?

We should label it as "F-F-F-F-Failure" or something in the term dictionary when someone calls a obviously nonsense letter, in honor of those F calls.

I was uncertain about "Stacks" myself, and I'm a good puzzle solver. That last letter could've been anything. I think La Mar was just thrown off. It happens, especially when you're under pressure like he was. So I don't think he was as deserving of being donut-holed as some others were.

Wow, that Speed-Up was a mess. Anyone notice that Pat said "Still not there" on the dud R even though no one had actually called R already?
