Andy’s Pre-Game Thoughts:
Our first of four Celebrity games this week is an all-woman matchup between Lisa Ann Walter, Katie Nolan, and Mina Kimes.
Katie Nolan is the favorite to take this one tonight, but she does get the rematch from a couple of seasons back against Lisa Ann Walter, as well as a matchup against fellow sports commentator Mina Kimes. Mina, despite being predicted as the third-favorite by the Unified Prediction Model, did lead everybody in the quarterfinals as well with 63 buzzer attempts.
Tonight’s game is airing on ABC and CTV at 8:00 (7:00 Central). Tomorrow and Thursday’s game up in Canada will require Canadian fans to check their local listings, though, as CTV has other broadcasting commitments in the 8:00 time slot; the show will be airing at a different time in Canada tomorrow and Thursday.
