I can confirm they have done this in the past. I have a good chunk of the Body Language skips, and in one of them a contestant simply guessed "midget" when the word being acted out was "elves". It was super easy to mute it out, and they skipped it anyway.
I hate to think that that's the reason for the Whew skips when they can and have simply muted the offending word in the past, but unfortunately there is some evidence this is the case here.

Think Buzzr is trying to give the viewers what they want, but to a fault. In that they think of something else we'd dislike equally.
TimK2003:
Again, we do NOT know for sure if Stephen's return for his inaugural trip to the Gauntlet is indeed the episode being skipped. Maybe I was home from school on a random teacher in service/sick/snow day, or possibly President's Day (I don't think MLK weekend was recognized yet back then)???
Nor do we know that if it is the skipped episode, what is the reason for not airing it ‐‐ it could be a damaged or missing tape,...
One thing that COULD be an advantage to us if Stephen's return episode(s) will not air on Buzzr ‐‐ for whatever reason(s) ‐‐ since the Whew! library more or less came via Winc and their connections, what's to say it could show up in a future edition of Wink's Vault???
Then, the game show fanatics can see it au natural on a website while the Buzzr folk who think it is too controversial to the general public will never see it over the air.
Again, these are all just speculative musings...

So for those who didn't see today's show, #175 ended in a tie game. 176 then, if it were THAT episode, would be comprised of the tiebreaker round, then that winner's gauntlet with Joyce or Viscuso, then Stephen's gauntlet, and finally the first round of a new match with the celebrities. No matter, 177 would start with the second round of the match with the Stephen gauntlet played in 176, or a tiebreaker round or gauntlet if no Stephen.

And the mystery continues because 177 started with a gauntlet. No Stephen.
