This episode really picks up steam as Midori Kimura returns to the show-this time as a co-host! She goes head to head with Jim as they run down their picks for the Top 5 Rookie Mistakes. (Tom Robinson is now officially putting his table up for sale.) We should also mention, even though he took the night off, Dr. Mark Torres Clutch does call in with his version of the Top 5. (Deep sigh)

One of the highlights of the episode, Donald Wilson-President of the USTSO-calls in from Mississippi to further add to the intrigue.
