Match Game anyone?

After conferring with the judges, (transcripts available upon request after the game - no, really - I want to keep a clean, transparent game), KneadToKnow does not get a match.

After Round 2 - Question 2, the score is 0-0.

Wow - that was exciting.
Panel, please PM me with your response to:

Dr. Girlfriend, please start thinking of your answer.

We are waiting for the last panelist to respond.

All the Panelists have turned in their answers. Dr. Girlfriend, please post your answer to:

No matches. That leaves us at zero-zero.

You all will need to give me a bit to come up with some questions for a tie-breaker round. I’ll probably use one word clues. As in “Match ________”

Okay - We’ve got to break this tie. Panelists, get your Hive Minds on, and send me your response to:

KneadToKnow, take off your tin fol hat, and listen to the brainwaves.

Wow - That was quick. All the panelist have replied. KneadToKnow, please reveal your response to:

Oh, wow. Reverting to a child-like state of wonder, I’ll offer Ice Cream.

Okay - The clue was:

Next clue:

Panel, please PM me your answer. Dr. Girlfriend, remove your tin foil hat, it worked for KneadToKnow, but whatever you do, DON’T get three matches.

The Panel have all turned in their answers. Dr. Girlfriend, please show us your response to:

Hot Mess!

Sorry for the hold-up, I was at a hockey game last night. Game was a hot mess too…

Thank you, Dr Girlfriend. The Clue was:

I’m sorry. No matches, there.

So the final score:


Contestant 1: **KneadToKnow**	0	0	3
Contestant 2: **Dr. Girlfriend**	0	0	0

Congratulations, KneadToKnow on a hard fought win.

Congrats, KneadToKnow!

Wow, that was a nail-biter. I thought I was sunk with Hot _______, but I lucked out that the panelists got split between chocolate and dog.

Good game, Dr. Girlfriend!

Now’s as good at time as any to offer up the emcee slot to anyone who might be interested in giving it a twirl. If no one has spoken up by Monday afternoon, I’ll plan to start a new game no later than Tuesday night.

Hopefully, this will help the next MC.
1 - Communicate with your panel by PMs. They usually respond with answers to the clues much more quickly if they just have to hit “reply”, rather than creating a new PM.

2 - Make your clues as specific as possible. My frist question was a mess, which you can tell, because the answers were all over the place. Rather than:

A better version would have been:

3 - Clean out you PM box before you begin. I’ve sent/received nearly 100 PMs in the last week. The hamsters are tired.

Great tips, Maus!

I felt better after I started seeing matches in the panel, now if only you and Dr Girlfriend had matched as well…
