Rank the Ratings
Curtis describes shows from the 2001–2002 television season. Dani and Ryan race to name each show; whoever Curtis hears correctly first earns the identification point. Both independently decide whether it rated better or worse than Frasier. Before the clues, each guesses Frasier’s own rank: Dani 9, Ryan 40. Curtis later subtracts the distance from the actual rank from their subtotals. The television rankings below are the answers supplied in the game.

Nine television clues
A continuing sequence of show identification and better-or-worse choices. A later mention of Ryan’s Temptation Island name point restates the earlier award; it is not counted twice. Where both contestants give the same comparison, their answers are preserved without inventing a physical turn assignment.
WHAT THEY BROUGHT
The King of Queens — worse, #20
Ryan identifies the show for a point, then predicts it rated better than Frasier and is wrong. Dani revises her comparison to worse and earns a point. Curtis places it at 20.
WHAT THEY BROUGHT
Temptation Island — worse
Ryan identifies the show. Dani and Ryan both choose worse and each earns a comparison point. Curtis reiterates Ryan’s identification award.
WHAT THEY BROUGHT
Law & Order — better, #4
Ryan names the show from the brief clue. Both contestants choose better and are told they are right; Curtis gives its rank as 4.
WHAT THEY BROUGHT
Greg the Bunny — worse, #99
Ryan’s tentative Avenue Q guess is wrong. Curtis reveals Greg the Bunny. Both contestants choose worse and each receives a point; the supplied rank is 99.
WHAT THEY BROUGHT
The Chamber — worse, #89
Ryan offers The Chamber or The Chair; Curtis accepts The Chamber without making him choose. Ryan then says better, while Dani says worse. Curtis says Ryan’s identification point has been “neutralized” by the wrong comparison and gives rank 89. That wording is preserved alongside the later announced subtotal; no additional deduction is invented. The owner accepts the stated total without inferring an additional deduction.
WHAT THEY BROUGHT
Watching Ellie — worse, #33
Ryan guesses The New Adventures of Old Christine and Seinfeld, both incorrectly. Curtis reveals Watching Ellie. Dani chooses worse and is correct; Ryan chooses better and is explicitly awarded no points. The supplied rank is 33.
WHAT THEY BROUGHT
JAG — better, #15
Curtis supplies the show title after the clue; no contestant identification award is established. Dani chooses lower and Ryan higher. Ryan is right: rank 15. Curtis calls it Dani’s first miss and says the contestants are tied at this point.
WHAT THEY BROUGHT
Baby Bob — worse, #25
Dani guesses Look Who’s Talking and Ryan guesses Family Guy. Both are incorrect and earn no identification points. Curtis supplies Baby Bob. Both contestants then choose worse and each earns a point. The supplied rank is 25.
WHAT THEY BROUGHT
Inside Schwartz — better, #14
Ryan guesses Sports Night incorrectly. Curtis reveals Inside Schwartz. Dani chooses worse and Ryan better; Ryan is correct at rank 14. Curtis attributes the strong ranking to the Friends lead-in while noting the cancellation.
