These C-editions are becoming a bore here. But we end our hump day with a double whammy of a loss…both Acts go down.

Bobby’s Rating – 6 (Act I) + 3 (Act II) = 9 of 20 (Losing Show to go even at 2-2 overall this week)

Counting ALL of today’s games per Skipps’ policy…
FINAL COUNT – 3 cars (2 of which were in Bonus Games), 2 DDs, 1 F! (with the ongoing champ), two trips, the MD, 1 High SC, and 1 Low SC.
BLOOD COUNT – 4 cars (more lost than won, including the huge car loss in Line ‘em Up), 1 DD, 2 F!s, 1 High SC (incl. the wasted trip to Antarctica), 1 Low SC, and $100K here.

Amidst all the agony and lack of redemption today, J! ends up our only major Winning Show of the day.

Back tomorrow with LMAD!

GAME 1
Sheryl was doing so well in the Prize Puzzle Round until she painfully LaTed out, which allowed Janelle to make a good comeback in that round. But I think Skipps may be glad he stopped watching this version of the show for the rest of the season because…

Bonus Round: How did you NOT solve that BR, Janelle?! UGH. 😡 Reminds me of Yvette Nicole Brown’s bad loss from S1. At least she wasn’t even close to the super big one, but still.

GAME 2
Too many duds in this half, but Chris made a nice comeback by sweeping the Triple Toss-Ups (even though there’s no bonus for this version, as we all know), but the C’s and I’s would’ve helped snap this ridiculous BR loss streak.

My Ratings
Game 1: 4 (F+) (Janelle’s very bad BR loss dragged it down for me)
Game 2: 5 (D) (duds galore)

I don’t feel too hopeful on how the season finale will go…
