I guessed “Joining the Army”, incorrectly. I googled the correct answer, and it’s perfectly cromulent.

First, I agree… why all the secrecy? The show aired yesterday, it’s not a spoiler.
Second, it was the first thing I thought of. I wouldn’t have thought it so obscure as to make people angry. Maybe that’s why I don’t care for Wheel.

I did a couple searches for Jeopardy! related news a couple years ago and now I get fed all sorts of stories about it. What I’ve learned is that Jeopardy! fans really get “outraged” about every other episode in some way or another. I’m guessing it’s mostly tabloid-level hyper-targeted clickbait stuff.

That is strength, boy. That is power. The strength and power of flesh. What is steel compared to
the hand that wields it? The strength of your body, the desire in your heart? I gave you this.

Such a waste.

Contemplate this on the Wheel of Fortune! Ladies and gentlemen, Pat Sajak!

I really didn’t think that was an especially obscure phrase. It was my first guess too.

I’ll admit I first parsed it as “Joining the orgy,” but I’ve also been helping plan for one at an upcoming kinky camping event, so that’s just been on the brain this week. I understand that this isn’t a common occurrence for most people, though. Right?

You will be
All you can be

It’s such a terrible game show. It boggles my mind that people watch it.

I was a Jeopardy! snob growing up and always looked down on Wheel and its fans. But really, it’s not like watching any game show is really that great a use of time.

No, Boggle is a completely different word-finding game.
