I just hope we can salvage what has been a very excruciating season. And this night is Ultimate Host Night where we see the longtime hostess of this show face off against the two hosts of sister show JEOPARDY! And Maggie will be the letter-turner for this episode.

FANCY MEETING YOU HERE, you three…

Ken Jennings: 74-day champion and co-host of “JEOPARDY!” playing for Equal Justice Initiative 

Vanna White: the current hostess of this very show who has her own line of yarn called “Vanna’s Choice” courtesy of Lion Brand Yarn Company playing for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

Mayim Bialik: actress (she’s appeared on “The Big Bang Theory”, “Blossom” when she was 14-19 on NBC, and “Call Me Kat”; the last show has been canceled), co-host of “JEOPARDY!” and neuroscientist playing for Mental Wealth Alliance

Game 1

FINAL SCORES THIS HALF
Vanna: $2K ★ Mayim: $47,200 MDW ★ Ken: $42,300

GRAND TOTAL: $60,200
BANKRUPT TRASH (Mayim in Round 2): $400

Scary moments

-In the opening Toss-Up…

F _ _ _ Y / _ _ _ T I N G
_ O _ / _ E _ E

Mayim, it’s not FUNNY MEETING YOU HERE.

-Late in Round 1, Vanna called a CRITICAL DUD of C to throw away $5,800.

-A whopping NINE LOST TURNS in Round 2 alone including an L repeat by Vanna.

–Vanna repeated a letter again in N in Round 3 (and Pat came to her to give a consolatory hug).

BR categories: PHRASE/EVENT/WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

MILLION DOLLAR BONUS ROUND #9: Did we miss out on an EXTRAORDINARY COINCIDENCE of Mayim winning $1M?…

Game 2

FINAL SCORES
Vanna: SHUTOUT ($30K minimum) ★ Mayim: $15K (left with $62,200) ★ Ken: $42,300 ($72,800 so far)

GRAND TOTAL: $76,800
BANKRUPT TRASH (Vanna, excluding MDW): $5,100

Scary moments

–Ken tried to solve this Round 1 puzzle for $2,400…

I ‘ M / _ O / M _ _ _
_ E T T E _ / A T
_ O  _ _ _ E

He took a stab with “I’M SO MUCH BETTER AT BOGGLE”… no. Later…

I ‘ M / S O / M U C H
B E T T E R / A T
_ O R _ _ E

Vanna decided to go on… and she BANKRUPTed near $2,500 to lose $3,700. We got a $0 puzzle win as a result.

-We got another $0 puzzle win in Round 2 as a result of Vanna’s BANKRUPT that she got in the previous round to lose $1,400 and the MDW.

EVIL CATEGORY LIST TO END THIS PAINFUL SEASON: PHRASE/THING/WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Oh, come on! -___-

$100K Bonus Round: Though Ken will be doing a FIST BUMP on winning a lot for his charity, he also loses $75K.

Charity Winnings: $165K

My Rating: 4 (F+)

Jerry’s Rating: Game 1: 6 (D+) (awful Round 2), Game 2: 7 (C)

Well, that’s all she wrote for this miserable season.
