The show is full of bad matches, horrendous segments and a severely underutilised mid card! What is there to even say? I'm scraping the barrel to find anything positive here and the best match on the whole show was the Kurt Angle squash because of the excellent selling from his jobber opponent. The Show/Reigns Thanksgiving segment is among the worst of the entire year. I feel sorry for the fans that paid money to be at this show because the lack of any effort to put on a proper show for them whatsoever is ridiculous!"

The biggest highlight for me was Rene Dupree's gigantic black eye. Also like every Smackdown of this time period they pushed Tough Enough to hard. Kurt beats another jobber up that turns out to be Cody Deaner. Dawn/Jackie "Pilgrim vs Indians match" was as bad as it sounds. The main event wasn't bad but nothing to ride home about. Very very bad smackdown"

[4.0] "This was not the worst show I've seen but it sure had some low moments. The Big Show Thanksgiving segment was truly awful, Big Show does basically a terrible stand up comedy act about Thanksgiving, Luther Reigns appears, and it ends with a food fight. Yikes. Lots of boring Tough Enough stuff too. But I did think the main event was pretty great for what it was, so there's that at least."
