rather than the two G's
It's like it doesn't get to live up to its name. At least neither came at the very start of a round (I expect that to happen at least once this week with someone who's just over a full rotation spinner, which happened on the 6th episode and also was the only Bankrupt of the game).
This wasn't too bad (R1 was the worst, IMO, but it's an interesting lead-in towards the upcoming Jersey Boys movie, though I doubt that was intentional), but I bet we're going to see some "fatherly phrase" that people don't actually say, like last season's "HAVE THE CAR BACK AT A REASONABLE HOUR".
