A week of chaos, comebacks, clutch moments… and a leaderboard that has exploded wide open.

Triple Points Week. The Grand Price Is Right Challenge. Back‑to‑back Tote wins. And four venues fighting like it’s finals footy.

This wasn’t just a competition week — it was a plot twist.

Let’s get into the story.

🏆 CURRENT LEADERBOARD

🥇 The Corner Hotel 🔵

933 pts
Still leading — but the margin is razor‑thin.

🥈 The Espy 🔴

895.5 pts
⬆️ Only 37.5 pts off the lead — biggest mover this round.

🥉 Young & Jackson 🟡

872 pts
Just 61 pts behind — and they’ve got the pie this week. Danger.

4️⃣ The Tote 🟢

775.5 pts
🔥 Back‑to‑back challenge winners. Quietly chaotic. Absolutely not done.

🔵 THE CORNER HOTEL

Started: 512 pts → Now: 933 pts (+421) Still holding 1st — but only just.

The Corner came into the week with the target on their back — and instead of cracking, they doubled down.

Dan drops an Italian special so good it sells 56 plates in 5 days. That’s not a special — that’s a movement.

Molly rallies the troops, Matt and Alex step up, and with only three players, they still take 3rd place in the Price Is Right Challenge. That’s grit.

Meanwhile:

Jeremy keeps Kerry Bar tight
Emer keeps IK spotless
Bridget becomes the Queen of Cutlery and sells out raffle tickets
Sammie lands a positive review
And the team pumps out training videos like a production studio — cake presentations, dehydrators, carbonara, Bepoz screens, table resets… the works.

This wasn’t luck. This was leadership + consistency + execution.

🔵 POINTS RECAP — THE CORNER HOTEL

Picking up shifts: 95 pts

🔴 THE ESPY

Started: 459.5 pts → Now: 895.5 pts (+436) Now only 37.5 points off 1st.

The Espy are the team that keeps knocking on the door — and this week, they nearly kicked it down.

The Price Is Right Challenge? They miss 1st place by 15 points. One spin. One guess. One moment.

Eva is learning pass while pushing the special — that’s hustle. Sienna resets the staff cupboard like a renovation show reveal. Richard does the same in the kitchen. Ryder helps the chefs. Elvis jumps in. Millie stays consistent.

And then the training video moment: “How to Clock In” — simple, useful, and worth 30 bonus points.

Spanakopita sells 57 plates. Shifts get picked up. Cleaning gets done. Momentum builds.

The Espy aren’t just chasing. They’re hunting.

Price Is Right Challenge: 243 pts
Spanakopita special: 57 pts

🟡 YOUNG & JACKSON

Started: 436 pts → Now: 872 pts (+436) Only 61 points off 1st — and they’ve got the pie this week.

If this competition had a Netflix series, Young & Jackson would be the chaotic fan‑favourite.

Last week? They bomb the Parma Challenge. They finish last in the Price Is Right. It looks grim.

But this team doesn’t stay down — they swing back.

The Cheeseburger Tacos? A customer literally calls the venue just to say they were “amazing.”

Then another call — praising Caitlin’s service. Greg K puts on a sombrero and becomes the unofficial taco mascot. Ellie takes on the selfie challenge and smashes it — 50 bonus points.

Cleaning? Massive. Customer interaction? Huge. Training videos? Strong. Trent’s joke of the day + upselling? 20 points of pure charisma.

This team went from “uh oh” to “holy sh*t, they’re back.”

And now… they’ve got the pie this week. Which means anything — literally anything — could happen.

🟡 POINTS RECAP — YOUNG & JACKSON

Picking up shifts: 35 pts
Price Is Right Challenge: 145 pts
Positive review (Caitlin): 20 pts
Cheeseburger tacos: 46 pts + 20 pts Pete’s Pick = 66 pts
Cleaning & customer interaction: 50 + 50 + 10 = 110 pts
Training videos: 40 pts
Trent’s upselling + joke of the day: 20 pts

Total earned this week: 436 pts

🟢 THE TOTE

Started: 349.5 pts → Now: 775.5 pts (+426) Back‑to‑back challenge winners — the chaos agents of the comp.

The Tote are the team that show up when the lights are brightest.

Price Is Right Challenge? 1st place again. Lily, lily, Dylan and Wil — unstoppable.

The pies? 69 sold + 20 points for top special.

Kane scraping gum off furniture like a man possessed. Shifts picked up. Cleaning done.

But then the twist: 0 training videos in a triple‑points week.

That’s the moment that could cost them the comp… or set them up for a massive final‑week comeback.

Because if there’s one thing we’ve learned: The Tote love a challenge.

🟢 POINTS RECAP — THE TOTE

Price Is Right Challenge: 256 pts
Pies sold: 69 pts + 20 bonus = 89 pts
