[7.0] "episode not on par with the previous ones but still enjoyable in the long run thanks to the suspended Brock Lesnar storyline and the very good tag team match, an excellent combination of excellent booking and excellent pro wrestling"

[6.0] "Weird segment with Stephanie talking to Angle about her period. Ok. Also, seems like Steph is full heel now making fun of the crowd and their city and calling security on brock? Not sure why they're doing this but I'm hoping there's a good reason. It's just weird because she was pretty over as a face and this seems unnecessary. First match is Cena/Mattitude vs Rey and Edge. Fun opener. Tajiri vs Chucky... Pretty sure this is chuck's first match since his "husband" left WWE. Well, Tajiri gets his ass w the green mist which is awesome. The opening tag match was actually decent. Cena is starting to look better. Also I really enjoyed the Thanksgiving skit with the thanksgiving bathing suit contest, as well as the shenanigans with the "turkey". The tag title match of course was very good except for what i felt was too much kicking out of finishers. Save that shit for a PPV please. Last few segments were more like what we'd have seen out of Raw during the attitude era. Steiner obliterating noble, and then the main even not actually happening due to interference. Kidman/crash was meh. Brock is still the main guy of this show despite Big Show having the title. This was on the same level as Raw for me this week except the tag match was better than Raw's best match and I love the green mist and WWF food fights, so giving a 6 as I gave Raw a 5."

[5.0] "If it wasn't for the tag title match I'd be rating this show a lot lower as this is probably the worst episode of Smackdown for the entire year. Stephanie McMahon starts the show by suspending Brock Lesnar for his actions and suddenly just turns completely heel for no reason and just giving her no consistency from the previous episodes whatsoever. The problem with this is that she completely dominates the episode in the worst way possible, as in Triple H on Raw bad! Also the matches, while mostly decent in quality are now given little time to really work with and are making way for atrocious stuff like Dawn Marie/Al Wilson/Torrie thanksgiving segment where I end up feeling second hand embarrassment watching it. Worse still is Scott Stiener being portrayed as a face for grabbing Nidia's ass and Jamie Noble presented as a heel for defending her honor! Watch the tag title match and maybe the ending where Lesnar destroys Big Show and skip the rest."

[4.0] "This is not a good episode of Smackdown. The only good things are the Tag Title match and the ending with Lesnar and Big Show. Other than that you just weird stuff all over the show. The Cat on commentary was horrible and one of the worst I've ever heard. Stephanie said the line, "Lesnar screwed Lesnar, " and made a bunch of period references on the show. Al Wilson continues to be a train wreck on the mic in front of a crowd. Scott Steiner slaps and grabs Nidia's ass twice, which the crowd love. He is the face by the way. Just a bad show and hopefully not a sign of things to come at the end of the Smackdown Six era."

[7.0] "Stephanie suspends Brock in the opening segment. Guerrero's vs Angle & Benoit was really good like they're last matchup, it continued to build up the Angle and Benoit rivalry. We don't actually get the main event because the newly suspended Lesnar attacks The Big Show from behind, another good show here."
