What a great episode!!!! I honestly can’t believe that a guy who’s from the University of Illinois won the bonus sprint 3 times in a row!!!! Well done!!!!!

That was an interesting first clue in the Scrabble Sprint, given Chuck's previous game show work.

At 12:14 Chuck: "It's never what you think it is, is it?" Well, these are crossword puzzle clues. Crossword clues are like riddles, they have a double meaning.

[@alexanderpytko5394]

3:09, Chuck: "Let me warn everybody in the audience, be very quiet. Now don't tip these off or we have to go back and do it again. Everybody gets mad." Yeah, that's a rule at gameshows. You've noticed at Wheel Of Fortune(Chuck's old show), that Pat has always told the studio audience to be quiet and that the players have to do it on their own. It's not like the audience yells out an answer to the contestant. The audience can't be telling each other what they think the answer is because the contestant might overhear them. If an answer is heard from the audience then they have to throw the question/puzzle out and do a different one. It's also a big rule with Jeopardy! obviously. But that rule doesn't apply on The Price Is Right, with the exception of the clock game. But on TPIR, the audience is allowed to help the contestants.

Nice job in the Bonus Sprint

[@alexanderpytko5394]

Alanna gets a telephone answering machine but she says that she needs one so I guess that made coming on the show well worth it.

I have a niece who has the name Alanna.

Larry's got a band-aid on the side of his face. Did he get scratched up?

[@Bowlymania]

Got Sajak, Grandpa, and Agreement off the clues, not sure I win the bonus round though - wouda said theatre instead of studios if I didn’t have time.

11:37: I can tell by the look on Chuck's face he wants to have a frank discussion with his writers after the show. Larry correctly guessed who wrote that crazy clue.

One of the Oakland Invaders, no doubt 😏
