Winners: Shaq and Jade Cargill
First, I want to say that this was far better than it had any right to be. Neither Shaq or Jade had any skillset that I was ready or willing to see, but they showed up and did some work. Unfortunately, it still wasn’t all that good. Jade sold absolutely nothing, and Shaq set himself up way too early for the table spot, looking a bit foolish in the process. As I said, better than I expected, but certainly not “great.”
