History: Pat 0-2, Cons 2-3, Wonton Don 2-3, Chef Donny 0-2
Storylines: It's the battle of the winless teams in Group C, but someone's gota win this one! A Duhamel loss would 100% knock them out of consideration, while the Wranglers could be right in the mix with a win to get back to .500.
Quotes to Remember: "Now that Pat sees what it's like in actual game conditions, he will change his mindset, I need to do a better job being in his ear." - Cons
"Now that Kate's out, we are going to show zero mercy." - Wonton Don
Analysis: ICYMI, Kate was the first person to be cut in the Jenga league (cut by herself). Now, Pat enters as the replacement for a team that needs a miracle to make the playoffs. As for the Rangoon Wranglers, they can't afford to drop to 0-2. This very well may be a "Loser Leaves Town" game.
Question 3 - Winning Team/Losing Block
Question 4 - Total Blocks

History: PFT 3-1, Kelly 1-0, Liz 8-3, Big Ev 5-2
Storylines: First place in Group C is on the line in this one. A pair of undefeated teams clash as the favorites to make the playoffs, but remember, the top two teams overall get a bye. Can Da Chalk keep their dominance rolling fresh off a win yesterday?
Quotes to Remember: "It's a big match, they're all big matches in the group of death. Anytime you have a divisional game, if you can win those matches, it increases your stats to make the postseason." - PFT
"Kelly is a fucking pistol. She's fiery as fuck and I've never seen her play, don't know what to expect from that." - Liz
Analysis: If Da Chalk wins this one, look out, league. They would move to 4-0 and be in great shape to lock up a bye in the playoffs. As for the Futból Team, they are in an interesting spot as the underdogs, despite being undefeated. The winner of Group C could depend on who wins this match.
