Tuesday’s returnees from left to right SMILING FROM EAR TO EAR…

Rhachel Royal-Fortune: jumped with her two sisters after her BR win on Oct. 26, 2023; her husband Jerry’s in the audience this time, and her son King does poetry because of her poem for Pat (which she felt honored to do) from Durham, NC

Brian Davis: raved about his hometown but ran into bad luck with the wheel and received the $1K consolation on Jan. 21, 2020; he’s a DJ in Hoboken by night and basketball coach in Jersey City by day from Hoboken, NJ (orig. from Allentown)

Carla Householder: appeared on the Jan. 26, 2024 episode (there’s no clip of her); she became known as “America’s Lunch Lady” after taking the job at the high school her four kids attended post-retirement (and brings so much joy and excitement to the school) from Sparta, NJ

Scary moments

-In the opening Toss-Up…

_ _ I _ I N _ / F R O M
E A _ / _ O / E _ R

Carla is wrongly GRINNING FROM EAR TO EAR when there’s just one space between the I’s.

-Lackluster game the rest of the way.
