The Slipped Disks Curse
Just an interesting stat I noticed recently.
Episode 31 is the first to not play Slipped Disks and the first to have a Show Down winner. Additionally, episode 87 is Slipped Disks' final appearance and then what happens? There's a winner the very next episode!
In fact, the game only features on one winning episode (78). If not for 78, this would be by far the most popular game to not feature in a winning episode. Still, it's an interesting anomaly (and pattern) as-is.
...No I'm not low on conversation ideas, what do you mean?

Re: The Slipped Disks Curse
Interesting points, although it was Episode 30, not 31

Re: The Slipped Disks Curse
Wait, is the website wrong? It says Slipped Disks was played from eps 1-30 and I'm sure the first ep with a win was 31 I probably just explained it the wrong way, as usual
But yeah, if it's infactual please post it here so Dan can edit it

Re: The Slipped Disks Curse
No, it was episode 31. Episode 30 has Slipped Disks.

Re: The Slipped Disks Curse
You have to take into consideration that TBS skips the episode numbers for Episode 17 (Gundan Special) and Episode 28 (1987 New Years Special). Thus, Episode "17" is actually 18, and so on until Episode "28", which is 30, so on until it goes back to normal at Episode 42.

Re: The Slipped Disks Curse
Ah! Dan avoided using that on the site I guess.
Here are some interesting facts regarding games in winning episodes:
-Bite the Bun started off the last four winning episodes, while being absent completely from the first four winning shows.
-Honeycomb Maze and Bridge Ball are both in 75% of winning episodes, however Skipping Stones is in only three of them. The first winning episode featuring skipping stones was #99.
-The only one-off game to feature in a winning episode was Flag Down.
-The most frequently-used game to NOT appear in a winning episode is The Dragon Lake. Followed by Mushroom Trip and Show of Hands!
-The most frequently-used game to appear only once in the eight winning episodes is Slipped Disks. After that is High Rollers.
-37 unique games have appeared on winning episodes (38 if you count Pushy Parents).
-Excluding Flag Down (100% win-rate), the game with the highest win-to-lose ratio is Whack the Stack (40%). This is followed by Tug of War and Runway (both 33%), and trailed closely by Roller Derby (29%).
-If an episode begins with a game that isn't The Great Wall, Match Maker, Flag Down or Bite the Bun, their chances are hopeless!
