GRECO!7 PLAYOFFS WEEK 2: 6/9 to 6/13
« on: June 06, 2025, 01:01:47 PM »
This playing will presumably cover 1061-65L in production order, but there are no guarantees.

There are no spoilers.

Things are lining up with what we hoped, making for some pretty high scoring, and it may continue. I have notes that say Friday is a reverse franken of 0981L, and today we got half of 0973L. The following Monday/Tuesday are 0982L for sure. So we are pretty sure this playing will consist of episodes that also taped with 0973L on Monday, then 0974L on Tue-Wed, then 0981L starting Thursday.

The CHECKMARK will be the PATTERN for this playing.

Good luck!
S5x... the show's stabilized into something decent now, I guess...

I made a bold bet that Back would be today with the rest of 0973L, and tried to pick a common car to go with it to snipe first GRECO. It nearly worked, but I was never going to get the common car - TTM, which was supposed to be tomorrow or Wednesday. So we have our first filler game in three weeks, very interesting...

I was also hoping to convert Back (only 3/8 picked it) into a 6/6 bonus to make up for lack of first GRECO, but I didn't really play the random 2P game this week other than the one that better show, so that was that when Switch? showed.

First GRECO now likely comes down to when Seat (FJB) / L7 (me) show, and L7 is hardly guaranteed this week, while Seat should be guaranteed. Could be quite interesting tomorrow...

Pocket was expected next week with 0983L's other tapings set to air, so its obvious sandbag today may have added more "filler" when TTM is already now one this week. Just when you thought predicting no filler was good with the previous two weeks, the waters are starting to get choppy here.

That said, the rest of the games were welcome today - three of the most obvious 0974L games and two due quickies in Push & OWP. Not so welcome for other competitors is FJB does get that first GRECO, I really tried to stop it but L7 just refused to show... well, I sure hope it shows at all now to not waste Back.

Did you know that Roo & Gas have been together 12 times in the past 5 seasons, including the last time both of them were played? That is a lot for two games that are usually once a month, and it is one of their non-cash, budget mode crutches they go back to on a lineup a bit too often.

We got another sandbag today as while T2 was the 4P that was going to show if there was one, it is strange it is showing on a week when both 3Ps should get played.

What is going on with the common cars? It's inexcusable to me none of L7, A# or Cover have shown yet. And Rat is presumably tomorrow... right..... ???

Crappy slotting aside, the only surprise here was Cross, which ought to have waited until next Friday or the following Monday. The way things stand it could still show then, but we definitely got way more moderate games than I thought the past three days.

FJB won the Grand/Time tossup and I didn't get A# this week (or L7... and somehow Back was the only regular SP to show, LOL...), so he comes out a bit ahead of me yet again. It's not over but he has a pretty good lead, and Tris / Kev are pretty far back at this point heading into another week where roughly half the games are going to be very likely to show already.
