Robert Santioli Set to Appear on 25 Words or Less Tomorrow

January 31, 2021 ~ Skipps Largo ~ Leave a comment

On March 25, 2016, Robert Santoli, who we all know as MarioGS on BuyAVowel.boards.net, appeared on WHEEL on Spin & Sail week during Season 33. He solved the $1K Toss-Up PORT & STARBOARD with just the D & won $45,000 in the Bonus Round by solving GOOFY PICTURES to go home w/ with $76,086 cash & two cruises.

Well, I am excited to report that he announced on BaV that he will appear on 25 Words or Less on Monday, February 1, as a virtual superfan!

If his celebrity partner makes it to the Bonus Round and gets all ten words right, then Robert will win $1,000, which will take his total game show winnings to $77,086 ($65,000 cash).

Good luck tomorrow, man! 😀

Contestant of the Week for January 25-29, 2021

January 30, 2021January 30, 2021 ~ gomezvintagereviews ~ Leave a comment

Zach Newkirk is your Contestant of the Week. Brian Chang may have had the higher cumulated total this week, but Zach proved to be the better champion even after having taken all those months off.

Honorable mentions: Of course Brian Chang; On Friday we had a perfect show on LMAD.

January 29, 2021January 29, 2021 ~ Adam Alam ~ Leave a comment

Glenda: $19,200
Tim: $1K
Mallory: $11,894 (all from R1)

GT: $32,094
Tonight’s Bankrupt Trash: $3,750 (Glenda in R1)

Scary Moments:

Y’know, Tim, it would be helpful to buy vowels…
Also, Mallory would blow her turn late in R3 to squander $7,400.
Glenda not flipping the MW afterwards. That’s notable since that was the good wedge.
R4 took too long.

Bonus Round Win?: Yes despite a letter strikeout (Glenda squashed this HOUSEFLY for the $41,310 Audi A4 Convertible)

Glenda’s Final Total: $60,510

Total After the Bonus Round: $73,404
