    It’s a new themed week, but we aren’t so sure what might have in stores this week (something we feared so much nowadays in the modern era of Wheel, though the last time having this new week (local flavour) was somewhat alright for the accord despite 1-4)

    BTW, stay tuned to the BR and jot down the episode’s BR puzzle for a chance at $10K (each puzzle equals one chance; jot all five will double your chances to ten), so Gambateh!

      And welp, the opening to the week wasn’t so on par thanks to the mystery round, albeit it started picking up on the Express/PP.

      Eh, that Corsair could remind us of the Local Flavour vibes…

    The Mystery Round was a big slogfest even though it resulted in a $10K prize win. Taylor and Chad had a decent match, nonetheless. Too bad the former got a tough word in the BR.

    My Rating: 5 (awful Mystery Round)

    Taylor and Chad were running neck and neck, but the Mystery Round was a mess. I thought the M’s would lead Taylor to a BR win.

    Very tight match between Taylor and Chad, but yeah, that R2 was a mess to watch.

    BR: I too knew the RSTLNE having covered that early S26 episode years ago and when Taylor didn’t call the obvious W’s, I knew this would lead to a loss.

    This was a tight match between Taylor and Chad, but the mystery round was just a mess, and I had a feeling that Taylor wouldn’t solve her bonus round puzzle.

    My rating: 5 (rough R2)

    Average way to kick off this f&g week. If there were an XL wedge on the wheel, then things might have been a little different scoring-wise.
