GRECO!5 Week 17: 4/3 to 4/7

[Wayoshi]

This playing will presumably cover 0181-85L in production order, but there are no guarantees.

There are no spoiled games.

The PATTERN was drawn randomly in Discord with my bot, with the result public to see for everyone. The POSTAGE STAMP (top right 2x2) will be the PATTERN for this playing (yes, again! The whims of randomness.)

Good luck!

I forgot to put Freeze back onto my card... d'oh

[Wayoshi]

I didn't care for this lineup that much.

-3 regular GPs was a possibility this week but I'm still personally disappointed it happened.
-Uninspired quickie choices, but that happens every 2nd-3rd lineup nowadays, doesn't it?
-I went Stack & Pocket on wondering if they'd play a hard car game on 2 weeks for budget reasons. Welp, it was Line instead.

I have also fixed an error on my end in dprice's card.

Here's Danger, Time, a SP/car and even the right TT quickie.

As has been done before, if a rerun is tomorrow this playing will have to be negated. If it's any new show, including not 0182L (looking likely) and wacky stuff happens, it counts, no matter how wacky it gets.

[Wayoshi]

Controversial moving of 0182L aside, it does mean GRECO did end up normal this week in the end. And it didn't even affect the FIRST bonus that much. This was JJ's week to lose early on and another top right SUPER SPOT did not disrupt that.

While Side & Pa# on one show again is very dumb, everything but TTM was quite due and really filled out a lot of cards. The only big surprise of a skip to me was Most Expensive (One Away has pulled off this disappearing act too much this season to be that surprised, even though everyone did pick it). There was also the fact all 3 possible SP/cars were played, leaving only Back as a regular SP this week.
