YOU SHOULD BE PROUD of him even though he loses $40K right away (second consecutive minimum sweep and fourth this season).
MY RATING: A flavorful 5

Whew, I’m so full from this week… *BUARPH* Excuse me…
@jliu23232 will be here w/ the restaurant bill (AKA the stats).
And Happy birthday Jim Thornton too!
Yeah, another non-PP win by the guy Ryan isn’t going to be the only male winner that week, but there are some mishaps in the R1 that was just a question out there. And in the BR, I thought for sure he would get it- yet again, a second straight week on Wednesday whereas a woman had saved out butts, but the maingame wise, definitely a step-up from the previous installment (but on par against the epic S28 and S29 and perhaps, S38)
Our rating: 6 😮 (orig. a 🙂 R1 was rough)
Now we wait for Jerry to bring us our bill.

We know what’s a beef jerky is, but in Asia this is what it was called Bakkwa

Ryan was yet another dominant player in the maingame even though R1 was a little shaky, but it’s too bad that we have our second consecutive minimum sweep.
My rating: 6

Not to mention on the consecutive 1-4 as well. For you, better try to do some mock fantasy recaps before actual day. Try and practice.

Ryan cleaned up like the previous three winters this week (albeit to a smaller extent), although we had a messy Round 1. Too bad he only got a single letter from his WC in the BR resulting in another 1-4 week and second consecutive minimum sweep.
My Rating: 6 (D+)

The first round of this week’s finale was anticlimactic, but it’s nice to see the streak of dominance continue. Picking the D’s would’ve given Ryan a better shot at winning the BR.
My rating: 6

This Ryan played well in the maingame, but it’s too bad Brandee lost a big chunk of money R1 to BANKRUPT.
BR: That WC just wasn’t good enough to help Ryan out. Picking the D’s and the O’s as his vowel would have been key.
