Third, Rachel comes up w/ an L while on the MW near LaT and obviously goes for it…$$$. Next up are a $700 S, three E’s, but then the BANKRUPT near $650 to throw away $10,450. Edgar follows w/ two $900 C’s, the last vowel of O, a $700 M, a $650 K, but then a crucial dud of D. Cristina then completes the board w/ a $650 H and a $600 W…

$5K SPIN ID: RE1294745
-This not-so-hot season (only 64 BR wins, which is 10 down from last season) was starting to become the first since S21 to have no $100K winner at all. Thankfully, Mike Brannen on April 28 came through as well as Latoya Williams on May 25. Therefore, this season is the first since that awesome S30 to have more than one grand prize winner.
-Too bad we’ve didn’t give away many cars in the BR, but at least it’s up from last season’s dubious record of 3.
-And let’s not forget about the epic maingame moments by Sheri Blank (Oct. 21) as well as Robert Santoli (March 25).
Have a great summer, people.
MY RATING: 6
Sigh…another bland finale.
