Toughest BR Puzzle this Week: JOTTING DOWN IDEAS (the frontloading J made it a bit difficult, but nice job by Hannah for getting it)
Easiest BR Puzzle this Week: FACTS AND FIGURES (even for a THING(S) puzzle, calling the F would give a good shot at it, yet Allison didn’t take advantage of it)
Players of the Week: Hannah Precour & Adrienne Bean
My Weekly Rating: 7 (C-)
And with that, we bid our final adieus and wish a happy retirement to Pat after 41 years of hosting the syndicated version of the show. Thanks for everything, Pat; we’ll miss you.
Well folks, looks like Sajak got what he wanted for his final week with America’s Game…we began this season on a Losing note, so it is quite fitting we, for the most part, ended it that way…at least on the first three days of this week. We did have some great Main Game matches, but our best day of the week was on Thursday when Hannah Precour hit Sajak up for $75K in the End Game (more on her soon). Our overall ‘23-‘24 Game Show Season concluded on a high note when Adrienne Bean won $50K in her BR. Still we end with a 2-3 record this week. Sadly enough, we had no $1M winner (either by a regular player or celebrity) this season. (Losing Week)
The GSQ jury has reached its final verdict on our honors for this Game Show Season. Stay tuned later this evening/early morning for those results.

A period is a full stop. Thank you, Pat Sajak. After 8,010 episodes of syndication and about 6,770 episodes done in WoF Recaps.

…and so is this 2023-2024 Game Show Season. It is no surprise who we all chose for CONTESTANT and ZONK CONTESTANT OF THE SEASON. We will have those results coming shortly, as well as our FINAL OVERALL RATING for the season.
