Adam Williams: off-roader (he loves Jeep trips and just got back from the Ozarks in Arkansas) who climbs rocks (he mostly gets flat tires) and also does some gospel singing from McKinney, TX

$100K Bonus Round

_ _ S T _ N _
_ / _ _ _ E _

CDHA and G doesn’t add much besides the obvious…

_ _ S T _ N G
A / _ _ D E _

She could only muster BASTING A, so the people in control won’t be POSTING A VIDEO of her winning…

…

…OH, ARE YOU KIDDING ME — AFTER THE BACK-TO-BACK $100K WINS ON WEDNESDAY FROM LAST MONTH, WE’VE GOT OURSELVES BACK-TO-BACK $100K LOSSES ON WEDNESDAY IN THIS MONTH, AND SHE’S THE UNLUCKY SEVENTH SUCH LOSER THIS SEASON. What are the odds of that happening?! 😖

MY RATING: 5

Wow Brooke was surely a haul (despite R5 missolves) and it was indeed thankful that Adam did not make it because…

…THAT will be a WORLD Hex- we mean yet another BIGGIE LOSS after they taped a BIGGIE BITTERSWEET WIN on said setting?

Our rating: 4 😦 (we firm)

  We are trying to say hexed because that was cursed with awesome, since Wednesday attracted the envelopes (and yet the second straight Wednesday with a loss and the fourth in six weeks, correct us if we’re wrong)

That $100K loss wants me to stick a fork in Brooke. Such a down ending right there.

My rating: might be a 3 Or 5

    It was like a reverse when Berto make it and won the big one instead of Melinda holding the MDW, and it was also a Wednesday (March 20). This episode was a reversed one, in gender, in the result and the story.

  BTW, that also marked the 7th anniversary of the HARD WORK $100K loss (and that one to start WATW was dreary).

This was a nice match between Adam and Brooke, while it was good that we had no bankrupt trash, Brooke needed the expensive PP to win the game, which isn’t usually a good sign. I can’t believe that we went from having from back-to-back $100K wins on Wednesdays last month, to back-to-back $100K losses this month on Wednesdays. It’s kinda a good thing Adam wasn’t there. It would’ve been much more painful.

Nice $20K+ match between Adam and Brooke with no BANKRUPT trash… BUT WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF HAVING BACK-TO-BACK $100K LOSSES AFTER HAVING BACK-TO-BACK $100K WINS ON A WEDNESDAY?!

It’s probably a blessing in disguise that Adam didn’t win with his MDW.

My Rating: 5 (D-)

  We noticed it was also a Wednesday episode, and what we mentioned, the fourth time in five weeks. One is an accident, twice is an coincidence, three times the charm.

  That on March 20 we got a someome who had the MDW but the eventual $100K winner wound up winning instead. This one was a mirror in terms on gender and outcome, and was taped on the set of March 27. If you have notice the pattern, that and last Wednesday’s trainwrecker were all on Wednesdays.

Boy, Adam and Brooke had a great run, but things ended with a thud in the BR. If only the latter chose the O as her vowel there… 😬
