Last night, we got to see two WoF alums battle in out for rights to get into the Winner’s Circle. One from S37, the other from S38. Let’s see how this played out.
Celebrities this game: Bobby Moynihan and Ron Funches
Playing with Bobby is LUKE NOFFKE (his original airing of Jan. 7, 2021 reaired this past Saturday) from Woodland Hills who raises lap dinosaurs (that’s what he calls his urban chickens)
Playing w/ Ron is JESSIE REBHAN from the Miami-Dade County area who’s still a middle school math teacher and mom of three kids. But her kids at school had a bone to pick with the show — they think the show needs to be called “The $100K Trapezoid” considering that the pyramid looks more like a trapezoid.
