Monday's winner, the black lady named Stanley, is still hanging in there on Wednesday of the first week.  The show is definitely still a work in progress, since Gene has to ask the judge(s) if words have to match exactly or if synonyms count.  But the contestants are getting the hang of things, and they're no longer scoring just a point or two each match.  Note that Gene calls Jack on all his insults of his wife Brett, little realizing that this would have long-ranging consequences for the show.  And with Richard's imitations of Paul Lynde, I'm starting to wonder if he should be credited with the Wait Till Your Father caterer's voice rather than Lynde.  (Dawson is listed for a different WTYF episode.)
