What Score Did Perfume Genius Get for Ugly Season?

at 41:17

From the episode: 49: Beyoncé

One panelist says the actual retail pitch for Perfume Genius and the album Ugly Season was an 8.6 BNM. The guess of 8.6 matched the actual score and took the round. Right after giving the round to the matching guess, the same panelist called the outcome great and good.

The guesses ahead of the result were 9.2, also a yes on BNM, 8.6, also a yes on BNM, and 8.2, called a little BNM and a tiny BNM. The actual retail pitch was an 8.6 BNM, so the middle number was the one that hit.

One panelist called the round a lightning rounder and said the match is not that big a deal. The same panelist said Ugly Season could have been a deep dive, and said a deep dive would have been nice. A deep dive did not happen.
