LOSS

At the beginning of the game, Gracie says she hates it, because she always loses when she plays along with it on TV. Also, the losing sound is MRRRRRRRRP!, which was regularly used during the 80s, and is once again the current sound in the Drew Carey era.

Because neither Alan nor Raymond has made it up on stage since the beginning of the show, at least one of them is guaranteed a spot in the FFBC. Can they avoid this dreadful fate?
