The Ladies Show Us What Not To Wear To Hollywood Game Night
Heels?! Idiots. Proper game attire and more are collected in our breakdown of the latest episode.
Best Game To Watch
Celebrity Name Game, because the stakes! Though, if I'm being honest, ninety seconds seems like an awfully long time to get to come up with ten easy celebrities' names.
Best Game To Steal For Your Next Game Night
TV ID, which is like Name That Tune for giving clues so your team can guess TV series titles.
Best Game To Play Along With
Celebrity Fusion, because it's something you can't replicate at home (unless you are or live with a very skilled graphic artist). One critique: the clues make it too easy.
Best Celebrity Player
Yvette Nicole Brown, which is why her civilian team captain, Andrew, picks her for the final round. Here's how you can tell she came to play, unlike all the other celebrity ladies (Valerie Bertinelli, Sarah Chalke, and Cheryl Hines): Brown alone is wearing flat-soled boots and unfussy clothes that allow her full range of motion. Future lady guests: this isn't a drinks date. It's a game night. This shit is serious. Dress appropriately.
Most Entertaining Celebrity Player
Rob Riggle. He doesn't do anything particularly showy (unlike chronic game-halter Martin Short last week); he's just a funny physical comedian no matter what he does.
Most Annoying Runner
Matthew Morrison's nickname, Matty Fresh. Like nails on a chalkboard, especially after you hear Jane Lynch say it for the 500th time.
"Most Ebullient" Celebrity Player
Which is to say, the celebrity who appears to the viewer to have maybe had the most cocktails, allegedly: Valerie Bertinelli. And it's not close.
For Emmy Nomination Week we ask:
Which of this year's Outstanding Game Show nominees would you least like to play with or against an "ebullient" Valerie Bertinelli?
- Cash Cab
- Family Feud
- Jeopardy!
- Let's Make A Deal
- The Price Is Right
