Then, it’s on to the obsessive charms of My Strange Addiction, where hard-bodied cars tart themselves up until they’re just ASKING for a little action PLUS, two Tiny Triumphs, a Canon submission for a pivotal episode of Gilmore Girls, a winner, a loser, and the white-hot patriotism of another Game Time.

Does it live up to the ofty expectations of Broadway fans, or is Joe a fanwanking sucker?

The week’s winner and loser are declared, and Game Time wants to make it with you. Take your seats and put your phones on silent — the show’s about to start.
