As I said in the RIS, I will be out of town for most of the day. Will get the recap up tonight. Also, I had to make a change on that, regarding next week, my graduation week.

[PriceBusterXL]

OWP repelled the polar bears and Plinko was a nice overhaul...Stack and TTM were just painful losses (Then again, would we expecting more from Stack after the past few gazillion losses?).

THE BOTTOM LINE:

A lukewarm ending for this season's SAW. Congrats to Camryn, the Instagram winner, despite her Check loss.

Good Show today. Heartbreaking losses in Stack the Deck , Check Game and TTM. I'm trying to remember if any contestant ever Dropped the Plinko Chips in Order like that today ( $100 , $500 , $1000 , $10,000 )
I'm all Tweeted out after this week. Got another 2 Tweets on the show today, once during Check Game , another during the 2nd Showcase.

[tpiradam]

Decent show to kick of a decent week. Didn't seem as exciting as last season's Socially Awesome Week but maybe because back then it was a new thing. I like how they had the twitter feed scrolling at the bottom of the screen this time as opposed to last year when they just popped up. Seems like they were able to get more tweets on the air this time around. Tough luck for Robert, too bad he didn't do as well as the last time he was on the show. (May 14, 2001)

[UniquePerspective]

A couple new people got tweets too. PhatBoi, FieldsFan, and thewhammy83 all got on, including me (I got on the air all 5 days!) and a couple of others I don't remember.

I think you and I got the most Tweets this week.
Excluding Monday ( I had Jury Duty ) my Tweets made it 8 times on the show ( 2 every day from Tues. - Today )
Two of them got cut off , one during the 2nd Showcase Showdown, and yesterday , I got cut off during the Showcase, They showed my Twitter Handle , but went to commercial as soon as it happened.

[DJTorgo]

I think SuperSweeper earned the title of 2015 Golden-Road "Trying Too Hard" Tweet Champion.

[Charizard632]

With this painful loss of Stack the Deck, this game really needs to be improved. Instead of having to go through 3 pairs of Groceries, we could add a fourth pair of groceries or give one number for free.

Overall, I enjoyed Socially Awesome Week.

Hey, I didn't even tweet Monday or today!

#PriceisRight If they price all three groceries correctly in Stack the Deck, they should give them the car! #perfectpricing

[Roadgeek Adam]

Alright, I need to be honest. Things have not gone as expected.

I left on my way home at 4:45, expecting to be home around 9.

1) My first train was held for about 22 minutes at different points for other trains.

2) The delayed trains caused numerous missed connections.

3) Buses didn't show, and I managed to pull my knee trying to rush home to get the recap done.

4) My last train, which had to be my backup after pulling my knee, was also late.

I hope you can forgive when I say I cannot put up the recap tonight but will tomorrow night. I have to be up at 7 AM after having been up since 4:45 AM this morning till now. I just want to get to bed. I see I've already affected FPG and my sincerest apologies go out to BRB_TheFireball and whammy007 for my negligence.

I left at 5:14 this morning, I just walked in the door at 10:29 PM....a lot later than I intended and I apologize the entire Golden-Road.net community for my negligence.

[GuyWithFace]

Adam, I do hope I am not alone in saying that one's physical and mental well-being is exceedingly more important than show recaps and FPG games.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, sir.

[mechamind]

Well-being is always more important.
