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.

Perhaps if next game is 2-0, we might have a chance?

Unless my math is wrong or I wasn't paying full attention, Monday 4/11's show starts at the Gauntlet with the champ getting 73 seconds. She won (a record?) $1310 in the main game.

$10 + $50 = $60
$60 + $30 = $90
$90 + $50 = $140
$140 + $30 = $170
$170 + $500 = $670
$30 + $30 = $60
$60 + $40 = $100
$100 + $20 = $120
$120 + $20 = $140
$140 + $500 = $640
$640 + $670 = $1,310
Your math checks out just fine. And I think you may well be right about that being a record as well.

One thing I've been noticing in some of the more recent airings (I'm still a few weeks behind in watching recorded episodes) in the Celebrity Whew! era is that the charging teams have been noticeably more successful in winning the round versus the blockers, including a few rounds where the charging team had plenty of time to hit multiple boxes on level 6 as well as several "perfect" rounds (no blocks or wrong answers).
It didn't seem to happen as often in the civilians‐only episodes. But then again, viewers (and contestants) were still trying to wrap their brains around the format and rules.

I've always thought the best strategy is to load up the blocks on a couple of levels - I think the odds are higher that a couple of them will be hit. When the contestant only gets to put 3 blocks and the celebrities the other 3, I've noticed that it's usually more scattered. In the recent episodes I've seen (a couple of weeks behind what BUZZR's currently airing) frequently the chargers don't hit any of them; or maybe just one but still have plenty of time on level six.
Having celebrities definitely seems to change how the game's played.
