Trio of celebs left to right
–Francia Raisa, star on “How I Met Your Father” and “grown-ish” and 1st generation Mexican Honduran American who learned English as a second language through Hooked on Phonics; she’s playing for International Community Foundation
–Joel Madden, lead singer of the band Good Charlotte who has an identical twin brother named Benjamin and current host of “Ink Masters”; he’s playing for MIB Agents (MIB stands for Making It Better)
–Jenifer Lewis, star of “black-ish” (she plays the TV mom of Anthony Anderson who appeared on Celebrity WoF last season) and author of “Walking in My Joy: In These Streets”; she’s playing for the K.I.S. Foundation
Game 1
Final G1 Scores: Francia: $11K/Joel: $43,900 MDW/Jenifer: SHUTOUT
G1 GT: $54,900
Francia’s G1 Bankrupt Trash: $6,500
Scary moments
-There were too many penalties in this half, which includes Francia calling C for CRITICAL DUD to throw away $3,850 and MDW in R2 and then in R3 a P for pitiful dud to throw away $6,900.
–Jenifer also wasted calling six T’s on the MDW in between $550/$600.
LOOKS LIKE TROUBLE: PHRASE/THING/WAYD?
MILLION DOLLAR BONUS ROUND #3: I really wish I could say “I TOOK THE DAY OFF” after seeing Joel lose…

…ARE YOU KIDDING ME — HE’S THE SECOND CELEBRITY TO LOSE THE $1M ON THIS VERSION OF THE SHOW AND HE’S THE SECOND SUCH LOSER OVERALL IN 2022 AND FOR THE SECOND MONTH IN A ROW.
Unbelievable. 😖
VB: SECOND $1M PRIMETIME DISASTER
Game 2
Final G2 Scores: Francia: $23K ($30K min.)/Joel: $54,350 ($98,250 so far)/Jenifer: $1K ($30K min.)
G2 GT: $78,350
Francia’s G2 Bankrupt Trash: $8,900
Scary moment
-In R1, more bad luck strikes for Francia as she painfully BANKRUPTs near $650 to lose $8,900 (She said “Why does this happen to me?” in Spanish). Other than that, much better game this time around.
A more favorable set to help us overcome that $1M heartbreaker: THING/ItK/EVENT
$100K Bonus Round: Joel opens up this PICKLE JAR w/ three seconds to spare for $100K poetic justice!! (First time since April 30, 2012) And the showrunners were nice to shower the confetti and streamers this time after what had happened in the first half! 🎉🎊
Joel’s Final Total: $198,250
New G2 GT: $178,350
Charity Winnings: $258,250
ant0824’s Rating: TBA
Skipps’ Rating: (Game 1: 4 (F+)) (Game 2: 8 (B)) (Overall: 7 (C-))
Adam’s Rating: 7 (orig. a 6)
My Rating: 6 (D+)
The $100K win in Game 2 cancels out the MK7 losing video and the “TOO BAD!” grand prize message picture.
