Post by StrangerCoug »

My dad noticed that Alex had a cast on his arm in today's episode and wants to know if he broke it again.

He has carpal tunnel and has worn that off and on this season. Its not a cast, more of a brace.

I thought he "wore it off and on this season" because the only other time we saw him wear it was at the College Championship, I believe, which was taped out of order,.

Recent contestant Kristin McAuliffe tweeted that he had had wrist surgery.

I just figured that he was a contestant on AMC's newest reality show, Game of Arms.

Did she tweet anything about how she would have won had she known how to wager? :twisted:

Yes, shows have been airing out of taping order to make it confusing about Alex's hand/wrist/cast/brace etc.

Feb. 3 - 7 Battles 1980s were taped Dec. 17
Feb. 10 - 21 - College games were taped Jan. 7 & 8
Mar. 3 - 7 Battles 1990s were taped Jan. 21 (Alex has it on)
Mar. 31 - Apr. 4 were taped Jan. 22 (Alex is not wearing the whatever it is)
Apr. 7 - 11 were taped right before Christmas vacation.
Apr. 14 - 25 - (Alex is wearing it) - Games were very likely taped the week before the 1990s and 2000s

Therefore Alex's hand should be bare next week.
