How long have they had that marker? I've never seen it dry up when someone tries to write a check, but Drew made it a fun segment by tracing over the numbers to make it work again.

I knew there was a wipeout coming when Vanessa said More on the first prize.

[htmlcc92]

Not too bad of an episode today.

Today's Check Game situtation would have been a perfect time for Drew to bring out his old "we've been using this [pen] since 1872, when this show first started" line from the pre-hiatus days of the Check Game.

[JayC]

One of the more fun Check Game playings in a while today between the pen drying up and Drew and Edla's interaction. Glad she won after Drew helped her fully understand what she needed to do.

Ouch on the More of Less wipeout. Going More for the exercise trainer wasn't a terrible guess, but yes Less looked much better.

[WOF85]

Interesting show.  Beside the dried up marker, I wonder when was the last time the remaining boxes in 1/2 Off were in a straight line?

6/17/2016 , the boxes left were 13 , 14 , 15 , 16

Good to know.  It's an odd occurrence for sure. 

[kingpin623]

The cars in Gridlock! appeared to be unable to move back up into their respective places on their own; they had no problems dropping down (thanks, gravity!) or moving forward or back, but Rachel had to push the "wrong" cars back into their places.

Also couldn't help but notice that Rafael and his friends in the audience had black tape over the bottom part of their t-shirts, presumably hiding a downward arrow.

And yeah, I'm late in getting to watch this episode!
