And already we have our first repeat game. Also, given that Hole In One is a car game in America, playing it for $1,500 in Big W credit feels extremely cheap.

The above is my opinion and mine alone.

To answer your questions: yes, I am a guy and yes, I have a face. (I also have the occasional spurt of weirdness.)

Some shots from this episode:



Larry's first "Samoan" of the series...




Another centre slot hit in Plinko with an interesting angle of the board afterwards.

...Oh, my.

The area around the hole of Hole In One is too. Freaking. BIG. The American layout allows for a very good chance at a rebound win, but the Australian layout basically hands out a guaranteed loss for putting past the hole.

Given that Hole In One is played for $1,500 store credit at Big W, there is really no excuse for that or using the original one-putt rule.
