Has the advantage of the contestants never guessing a wrong letter, at least the first time.

What have you heard and seen about Vanna that led you to this belief?

Apparently that wasn’t always the case. Switching to the digital board shaved hours of production time allowing their current taping schedule.

Did you just refer to the act of human procreation as boinking?

I’d clarify your statement: men and women can work together and not boink each other. They may want to, they may not want to, but it actually isn’t difficult to not boink coworkers.

Au Contraire, CW. A friend who was a WOF winner said that Vanna was even nicer than she appears in her role. Genuinely friendly and natural, whereas Pat was kind of a sarcastic d\*\*k. It may be that what you see on the screen is close to their actual personalities.

If anything, I would assume the opposite is true: two people forced to work together for so many years probably despise each other and have to grit their teeth just to get through the taping. Not to mention Pat’s oleaginous manner and Boehner-orange hue. Plus, I’m pretty sure Pat is a Climate Change denier and all-around douchebag. So there’s that.

I’ve always wondered and assumed they have done the deed. They’ve traveled together extensively and spent a lot of time together. I bet at least once they’ve gone out to eat, wound up drinking, and explored each others’ vowels and consonants.

In my experience, boinking and procreation are usually best kept separate. :o

Pat: Sorry Vanna, there’s no “O” But You have a free spin available so let’s go again.

In fact, as long as they’re bright enough to not call a letter that’s already showing in the puzzle, they’ll never guess wrong. 😃

But her performance as Venus in _Goddess of Love_ can never be forgiven.
