He eats up some POTATO SOUP...but for only $30,000. Wow. He deserves more than that. Still, he leaves with $45,050, cash, gift tag, and Caribbean! Great job, Greg!

ReplyDeleteI wonder how Kristin got past her audition...
ReplyDeleteToss-Ups: Nice Toss-Up sweep by Greg.
Rounds 1 and 2: Oh, gosh...I don't wanna say anything but this...KRISTIN'S A BAD PLAYER!!! [mad face]
Round 3: Strategically and nicely done by Greg. Consonant, vowel, consonant...
Round 4: Too bad Greg couldn't cash in, and Kristin, you left behind THREE F's. I'm very disappointed in you, and some other lady should've been in that podium instead of you. And poor Tiffany. She didn't get to play much.
Bonus Round: Nice win by Greg.
Rating: 6/10 (Kristin really brought it down)
