So, Who’s Winning Stab In The Dark?

Let’s discuss on our pre-finale pod.

And just like that, we’ve wrapped up a third of this year’s Championship Tour.

The Men’s Top 5 is crowded with Brazilians — all goofyfoots — alongside a lonely Aussie representative, George Pittar, in fifth. On the women’s side, Gabriela Bryan leads the pack, but her opponents are trailing very close behind.

As customary, Stace Galbraith and our Editor-in-Chief, Michael Ciaramella, discuss all that happened in the water and around the event, including a mysterious sea creature attacking photographer Ed Sloane, and share other privileged information from the cobblestones at Manu Bay.

Former Editor-in-Chief and full-time European bon vivant Brendan Buckley joins Mikey to rant about how an alleged seal ruined his finances on an otherwise tranquil Sunday evening.

They also dissect Episode 4 of Stab in the Dark starring Ethan Ewing before moving on to some chilling news currently on our site right now, as well as forthcoming SITD IRL events.

One of those is the Stab in the Dark finale next Thursday, May 28th, at 7 PM PST (screening starts at 8 PM). If you’re around, we’d love to see you at Salud Studios at Tremont Collective in Oceanside, CA (602 S Tremont St Suite 104, Oceanside, CA 92054).

Ethan and the shapers will be there live to crown our latest champion.
