1 comment:

  1. Well, this episode was average.

    Toss-Ups: Good job to J.P. for sweeping and nailing the Toss-Ups.

    Round 1: Bad playing by Greg at the end.

    Round 2: Bad round, but decent payoff for J.P.

    Round 3: And another bad round...yet another decent payoff, but for Greg.

    Round 4: I have never heard this phrase before, but apparently, Tiffany has! After lots of bad luck, she's finally got some money!

    Bonus Round: I got this with RSTLNE, and so did Greg!

    You know, personally, I wanted J.P. or Tiffany to win - especially J.P. - but Greg was an OK player.

    Rating: 7/10
