You don't think much of our main game ability, do you.

  • Just leave the set; that’d be terrific.

When you're at the grocery game and you hear the beep, think of all the fun you could have at "Crazy Rachel's Checkout Counter!"

I'll go with Nipsey.

The bit that makes the hypothetical so silly is that GSN kicked off their $100k Pyramid just before a tournament period in which the eventual winner bogarted the winner's circle in much the same way as that butthead kid in kindergarten who would take all the good blocks, leaving nothing for you. She had been after the big prize seven times, shooing away those pesky interlopers, working on it until she won (and the pressure was off a little bit in the second half, because she was going to be back anyway.)

There's a stable of about twenty or so Pyramid regulars from that time that I would trust to help me get to the top of the Pyramid, so picking one is both (say it with me) silly and hypothetical. I'm not going to say "Der, William Shatner! Derp!", but I also think that I would have more than one chance at the money, because I'm decent at the main game.

You say that like it's a bad thing. She still had to win the main game. Would I be annoyed at seeing the same person go to the Winner's Circle over and over and over again? Absolutely. But is that still a sign of how much better she was than the other two finalists? Probably.

I figure that the tournament was a bit flawed in that a person who got a good celebrity and a good set of WC categories could get in, even if that was their one and only time up there. Meanwhile, someone who may have been a 4 or 5 day champion with a few WC wins got left out. It's all about having the right person for the right stack. That being said, I'd take Nathan Cook.
