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.

Well the celebrity episodes I find have more easy bloopers, even the further to the right you get on the board. I've seen some tougher questions though now that we're all-celebrity, so perhaps the writers decided to reinstate a balance once they got used to the new format?
--- Quote ---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.

And that is one of the foibles of the new format. Putting half your fate in the celebrity's hands. Other shows do it but it can be awkward on W! Blocking is better when it's one person's strategy and it has that one continuity to it.

Had a feeling since yesterday ended with a Gauntlet win. Then the final segment kept the retired champ with the two celebrities being interviewed.
