We wrap up Week 35 of our ‘23-‘24 Game Show season triumphantly with a Car win in the BR by big champ Tracy. Although the Trust got a lot, including Joe’s MDW, it was a great match with Tracy leading almost all the way.
Rating – 8 of 10 (Winning Show and Week), meaning both this show and TPIR are this week’s two Majors that won.
It also means this show produced our PLAYER OF THE WEEK, Krystalanne Curwood (from earlier in the week) with $61,133 cash & trip. GOOSE EGG PLAYER OF THE WEEK will be very tough to call.
We will sort it all out, including final day stats, shortly on both sites, so stay tuned.
Another lackluster front game, but all three contestants were fun to watch. And I’m sure Tracy’s car win was worth the wait. 😎
My rating: 6
Weekly rating: 5
Other than the incredible energy from the contestants and the audience alike (and the three BR wins), this week could’ve gone more smoothly,
smoothly.* (with a period)
After we were nothing above the house minimum assuming both opening Toss-Ups were solved, I thought we were in trouble, but Tracy’s car win in the BR salvages it and gives us a winning BR week.
My Rating: 6 (D+) (orig. a 5 (D))
It’s nice that we got ourselves a winning BR week, but the maingames could’ve been better.
Weekly Rating: 6 (D+)
