What the heck was Greg thinking? If Madonna had a modest career with only a few hits, his clue might have worked, but it would take minutes to get through the titles of all of her songs. Not to mention 'Holiday' is not one of her better-known hits. 'Synonym vacation' would have been so much easier. Or even just a list of various holidays. Ben dropped the ball with 'Scar'. 'Face wound' made both Greg and Allie naturally think the answer had something to do with the face, rather than something that can occur anywhere on the body. 'Mufasa's brother' or 'Wound - permanent mark' could have worked. And it's really too bad, because if they had won that round, they would had tied at the end. Sad to see them go. Money round was very nicely done!

Damn..another great couple bites the dust.. the bonus round.. the guy was so calm n consistent..

[@johnsmi213]

For "painkiller," Greg could have said "generic" or "hurt destroyer" but instead wanted to just repeat clues and yell. Yes, it's obvious to him but he knows the word. They're having to imagine the word from what he tells them and if they get led astray, he has to rope them back in.

[@Trobtwillis]

True. What else could he have said? Aspirin, Tylenol, Ibuprofen, ouch assassin, etc.

[@lashendawest7509]

Great video and awesome episode

Excellent money round!!!

That was a great $ round.

[@ireallyhatebraindeadsheep69420]

The money round list was a nice one to get. I really thought they would not win after Michael was slow in his first two words. But I guess slow and steady can win the race. Congratulations 🥳 on the money 💰 guys 🙌!

[@yaphettvazquez9796]

YAY!!!!!!

[@ireallyhatebraindeadsheep69420]

Absolutely saddened to see the champions leave 😭. If Matt was there giving the clues, painkiller would have been right up his street. I would have just listed some known painkillers for more specificity.

[@johnsmi213]

You wouldn't just scream at them and repeat clues that didn't work over and over?

[@Jopo1226]

KZbin really needs to hide comments until you are ready to read them...most of the time I'm spoiled on the bonus round...either the comment showing is they won 10000! or they messed up the bonus round. It's annoying

[@carolwodka7166]

I’ve learned not to look at them till after the bonus round!

[@Jopo1226]

@@carolwodka7166 well I'm on a phone and 1 singular comment does show within the screen before you click on it and I saw they won 10,000! In my screen.

[@johnsmi213]

I posted a comment and below the top comment was "Congrats on winning the money round." So I don't even look at them and I still can get spoiled.

Well Done!!!!!!

[@rosalindlively677]

Super easy bonus round!!

[@ireallyhatebraindeadsheep69420]

3:31 that was just unnecessarily close 😢. Greg should have just listed different holidays initially. Props for Ben’s clutch guessing 👏.

[@eliasshakkour2904]

Yeah, why would you go such an obscure route for one of the easiest words ever?!

[@johnsmi213]

@@eliasshakkour2904 Maybe he was thinking of "holiday" as "vacation" and forgot it also means Christmas, Halloween, etc. Or if he said, "Vacation, Christmas" it would make them think Christmas. His brain didn't think list a bunch of holidays.

[@eliasshakkour2904]

@@johnsmi213 "holiday" doesn't mean "vacation" in the US. Also, he did say he was going to list holidays (which he should have).

[@ellenchristensen7160]

So sad to see the champs go. Greg choked on painkiller. He should have split the word. They would have gotten it.

[@johnsmi213]

He always has a clue and then just gets angry when they don't magically get it. He also forgets that clues can be misconstrued. I knew if he alluded to painkillers, they would just list medication. He had to break the word apart, like "hurt destroyer."

[@LynnK-pu7rc]

Darn it sad to see champions not get the word

[@eliasshakkour2904]

Those clues for "painkiller" were horrible! I would've just listed brands: aspirin, Tylenol, Ibuprofen, etc. And to add insult to injury, when he came back to it and still had 6 words left, he wasted them all saying the EXACT SAME THINGS he had said the first time!!! 🤦

[@johnsmi213]

Exactly. I thought he would say "Tylenol, Ibuprofen," but instead he just seemed to be alluding to a specific drug you get after surgery. I would have guessed it was "Oxycontin" if I didn't know the word already.

[@ireallyhatebraindeadsheep69420]

13:36 - 13:38 was Gabrielle kind of mimicking the hallucinate word with her circular head motion 🤔? I kept on replaying it, as I cannot get past that. If so, then that should have been reviewed at least. Or I might be wrong, and overlooking it!

[@johnsmi213]

Yeah, she just mimed it while describing it but it seemed like inadvertent. It's different when they actually use miming to help them figure out the word like when the lady started making smiley and frown faces when they couldn't figure out "emoji" and she ran out of words.

[@justinbanks5400]

Shouldn’t Greg be buzzed for saying kills for painkiller?

[@eliasshakkour2904]

He said "pills," not "kills."

[@ireallyhatebraindeadsheep69420]

Ben gave good clues for scar, sadly the team could not get to it ☹️. I would have said makeup eyelashes, in the hopes for them to say maSCARa.

[@yaphettvazquez9796]

Yes!!!!!

[@luilang7002]

Pacino blank face

[@eliasshakkour2904]

In the US, the pronunciation is different. It's pronounced ma-SCARE-a.

[@johnsmi213]

I think saying "face wound," it doesn't sound like "scar" because a scar can be many places and not just the face. So they were thinking of something exclusive to a face.

[@eliasshakkour2904]

@@johnsmi213 I think the problem was more with "wound" than with "scar." A scar is not a wound, it's what's sometimes left after a wound has healed. They were thinking of actual wounds/injuries.

[@johniringan8460]

Analgesic for PAINKILLER. The Barbie friends prevail.

[@b.b.4010]

“Madonna song” is the most generic clue ever. Like a Virgin, vogue, material girl, papa don’t preach… I would’ve been there all day guessing through all of her songs haha

[@25WordsOrLess]

You might've been the perfect teammate 😂

[@heavensgate7337]

You can tell Matt is little off this round. For painkiller he could said aspirin Tylenol Bayer etc. Or synonyms ache murderer lol.

[@johnsmi213]

This is GREG, not Matt. Matt is a great player. Greg is pretty good but if they don't get a word from his prepared clue, he always gets irate and can't think of a way to pivot.
