We’ll be over the hump after tonight’s game – and we’ll have our first two eliminated players. Who will they be?
There was a bit too much guessing tonight for my liking; as a result we have some lower scores.
Eli Barrieau: 12,200
James Brown: 6,600
Karen Cafaro: 9,000
The left podium is on fire! Somewhat surprised to see Eli not go for the win here, but it’s good that he at least wagered to lock out James.
With that, the chances of our third-place finisher on Monday, Rico, jump to 23% from 6%. Kati is eliminated.
Quarterfinal winners:
Anne Baxter
Patrick Dillon
