New to Buzzr - Q1, 2022

[gridlockjoe]

Watching yesterday's Celebrity Whew! (originally broadcast on a Thursday), I think someone replaced the Folger's crystals with Carol Wayne. If they had a lunch break between taping the Wednesday and Thursday episodes, I'm thinking someone sat down with Carol to go over how the game is played, maybe do a couple of practice rounds. She seemed more "with it" on the Thursday episode.

Burt Sugarman?

Well seeing as he was probably the sole reason she got on CW! in the first place....

(And I will take it you missed the second Gauntlet on the Thursday episode)

[JMFabiano]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was attempting to play junior detective during today's CW! 

POSSIBLE SPOILER/HEADS UP....
Now, tomorrow should be the last trial celebrity episode, yes?  When we ended today's episode, we have up to two rounds left and a Gauntlet.  It wouldn't make sense to introduce two new contestants to play the celebrity version after this, yes?  So assuming there's time to kill...could tomorrow's ep be when Stephen is brought back for his Gauntlet?

I don't know whether to say "they'd never play two Gauntlets in back-to-back segments" or "thanks for the spoiler".

[JMFabiano]

Thanks I corrected it, Bryce...

Quoting the spoiler still makes it a spoiler. Just sayin'.

Mea culpa, as I originally posted said spoiler sans covering up.

I'd love to see Stephen's return once we get to that point. However, if there's a skipped episode once we finish the initial celebrity run, I'm guessing it's his. A while back, we speculated that his nickname (link contains a spoiler) may have been the reason his first episode was skipped, and if we don't see him Tom may very well have repeated it.

You're fine. Your spoiler got quoted, which still shows up.

No.  Originally I had it uncovered and went back and changed it. 

Anyway...

Someone at FB says they remember Stephen's return, and Tom saying if he lost, he could be in the next game with a celebrity partner.  So I may have been wrong about this afternoon's ep...

They already knew at that point in taping that CW! would be brought back permanently on December 5, per Tom's announcement in #146. So they could have any remaining contestants wait for a week to come back in episode #154 at the start of the first permanent CW! week, just as they put Joyce and Chase in contestant stasis after #133 until the end of the temporary run.

Confused? You won't be after today's episode of "Whew!".

Brilliant detective work! Keep it up!

Thanks I got my diploma from Sherlock Hemlock's school. 

I missed any other reference to 12/5 besides yesterday's, so I wasn't sure how they'd handle it.  Turns out it was the Whew! way...totally convoluted. 

Better safe than PREGNANT?  Good lord, the Golden Girls got ideas from Whew!

The schedule doesn't go this far yet.  On Thursday March 31 (last day of Q1 2022!), we should get new Concentrations from the final season.  Episode 1311, the last new to BUZZR show, should air on 3/30.

On a related note, if you missed the first few episodes of the 1977-78 season with the new Double Play format, it should start rerunning on St. Patty's Day, 3/17.
