  1. Much better episode.
    Grade: A+
    Rating: 10

  2. Much better. : )
    When the previous record-holder episode (the S3 premiere in mid-March, seems so long ago now) got a mid-week repeat out of the blue last week, I honestly thought tonight would be Hardwick’s third strike in a row (no winners since the pre-empted May 10th episode). Thankfully there’s still some much-needed hope (both the ratings and the comments sections on the official FB page have been taking a hit with the higher number of $0 dismissals this season). Let’s hope this winning streak continues.

    This episode was supposed to air on my local news station right before my favorite show Songland but it was interrupted with breaking news about the #blacklivesmatter protest in Salt Lake City. Speaking of Songland, can please you recap episodes of Season 1 and Season 2 (the current season) as my request to you?

    Excellent win today caps an otherwise sorry game show day. But it is nice to see someone win the million.

    Rating – Perfect 10!
