We Know You're Not Really An M-to-F Transwoman, Felicity Huffman, So Those Heels Are A Bit Much

Let's break down the latest Hollywood Game Night.

Best Game To Watch

Take The Hint, in which the team with Kristin Chenoweth on it actually manages to rise above her natural state of flightiness to play the round like clockwork, and in which Wilmer Valderrama gives a completely nonsensical clue for "Grateful Dead."

Seriously How Many Times Do I Have To Tell You About Dressing For Action, LADIES?

Felicity Huffman has the right idea taking off her shoes for How Do You Doo...

...but when you're making strategic decisions based on which player has the greatest mobility and Wilmer Valderrama thus becomes your team's great hope, you have made an error.

Most Frustrating Games To Watch (tie)

First, Matchmaker, which gets dumbed-down past the point of fun by Jane Lynch, yelling out who people are as they're uncovered (shouldn't there be the added challenge either of identifying the celebrities, knowing which pairs of relatives go together, and having to piece together the ones you don't know by process of elimination), and which is not even kind of fun to watch because IT'S CONCENTRATION.

Then there's the new game, Playing The Numbers, which shares a problem with Matchmaker: too much yelling out by players for not enough suspense or reward in the gameplay/game outcome. Also, just because you can only think of four Ivy League schools doesn't mean THAT THERE ARE FOUR. HOW WOULD FOUR BE A "LEAGUE."

Also it takes forever.

Most Annoying Celebrity

Even before getting cast on this show, her breakout role on Glee had already started to turn Jane Lynch into the middle-aged lesbian Betty White, if you know what I mean, and seeing her every week as "herself" hasn't disposed me more kindly toward her, but even so, she seemed to cross a line into insufferable territory last night.

The jokes about how the set is her house? Not funny.

This introduction of Valderrama...kind of racist? Aubrey Plaza seems to think so.

Then there's the 800 times during Li'l Picassos that she incorrectly uses the term "portraiture." You mean "portrait." Please stop drinking.

Most Valuable Player

I was dubious about the choice of Plaza for Celebrity Name Game, but she performs beautifully because she knows the most important strategy of the first round of Celebrity: never stop talking.
