I feel bad for that last contestant. I've heard this said about Tom Poston as well, but it's almost as if Natasha Leo had a stroke during that WC. On the last attempted category, he gave two very good clues and was greeted with the response of "Uh-huh?..." By that point, he was on tilt.

Didn't that same contestant say "your partner" for Things You Hit, as if he was giving an insult to Natasha?  I knew he then said "your wife" which quickly took my attention away from the former clue.

He said "a person," but I like your clue. :)

Well, the "super" in "superhero" also conveys "Superman".  :-p  I do recall somebody on the 80s version getting the cuckoo for just the S. though.

Ha! The funny thing was that I used "superhero" because was avoiding the word "man" in my example!

My reaction to the first game (other than "Holy crap, Anna Camp's beautiful") was, considering you had two celebs who had no experience playing the game, it went really well.  Did someone here say that was the first show taped? 

Yes indeed, and to get a $100K win right out of the box. Then they tape the second show with Dr. Ken and Tisha Campbell get another $100K win. I never imagined that happening. I purposely did not go back to see more shows taped. I saw two $100K wins, it's not going to get better than that. I will continue to watch on Sundays to see if anyone else wins the $100K.

That's why they accepted "websites" and not "popular websites."

Did they?  I thought they passed on that one and never got credit.  Either way, I agree with your point that if you're going to accept "websites," it's fine as a $50, though if that's what you're going to accept, then just put "websites" in the box.
If they didn't buzz "Bing" for not fitting the category, I think it's pretty obvious the word "popular" didn't mean anything.

Given that the interview segment is the only chance we get to know the contestant partners it annoys me that they seem to be edited to the point where we get "I'm a theater professor here in New York City" and an abrupt jump cut. Boo.

/Well done to Daymond John for being tonight's best celebrity more or less by default.

I would love to see a celebrity comment that his contestant partner has no last name, but it would never make it past post-production.

Why are you hating on Mario Batali? I thought he was Rosie-levels of outstanding.

He talked more about his crocs at the taping, but that wound up on the cutting room floor.

And then some. His Winners Circle play was particularly good.

There was a promo for two weeks airing on August 14. Is Pyramid being preempted on August 7 for some reason?

The whole Sunday Fun & Games lineup is doing reruns next week rather than throw new episodes up against Night 3 of the Olympics.

Mario was the definition of calm, cool and collected in the WC both times he was there. Other than having no idea who Daniel Radcliffe is, Daymond John played the game well too.

For "Things that are strict," I wonder if they would have accepted "A Disciplinarian." Other clues I thought of were "A drill sergeant" and "Judge Judy."
