I think it was too easy after all those new levels, lost pilots didn't even drop on the fire tiles. The challenge was paying attention to the middle row where you wouldn't normally put Hot Dates thus screwing you over. I liked this party. It was a breath of fresh air. ... what? What you do is place Hot Dates and Split Peas in lanes 2 and 4. Well yeah, and did I say anything different? I didn't. "The challenge was paying attention to the middle row where you wouldn't normally put Hot Dates". This means normally you would put Hot Dates on #2 and #4 if you know how the plant works rather than on #3. You basically said the same thing I did but longer and started with "...what?" as if I said something different and incomprehensible. Well, saying that you normally don't place Hot Dates there confused me to think that you implied one should put Hot Dates there, which is a fair assumption until you realize that the PF doesn't attract in a 5*5(horay for more nigh-pointless PFs!). But I don't get how you need to pay attention to the middle row in particular; on the contrary, I found that one had to pay attention to the top and bottom rows more intensely, as they can only be attracted by one Hot Date "site" rather than two. The reasons I said that were:

1. Sometimes (I played this party nine times to test this) the belt keeps giving only Split Peas and 1 Hot Date along with Pepper-pults and my level 1 Split Peas couldn't handle it thus not giving me proper room to put two Hot Dates on 2 and 4. Thus the "normally" part as that was an abnormal situation.

2. I have seen people who put attracting plants on row 3 where they are not needed thus another reason of "normally" not being applied there since they don't know the proper mechanics.

Situation #1 happened to me and I couldn't save the middle lane many times due to Hot Dates not arriving in time and since in level 1 Hot Dates die quickly means relying on the belt heavily. Also zombies come from all lanes so Split Peas get eaten as zombies still come from lanes #2 and #4. So you need to keep an eye for that as well. Not to mention, the only way to kill Dragon Imps in this party was either by Red Stingers or Split Peas. So paying attention to all lanes if you don't have at least two Hot Dates meant lane #3 would be the most vulnerable as Split Peas cannot defend it properly from the front and you cannot afford to let zombies pass and then plant it because of how weak even the back head becomes against such a cluster. Lane #3 relies on Hot Dates being planted in either #2 or #4 (both for best results) for less stress and since it dies so fast, that reliability doesn't come in handy. Back up, which party are you talking about? The party I got today had blooming heart No, we're talking about yesterday's party. Today's w/ Blooming Heart was easy, although I didn't like those Boomboxes. Damn Blooming Heart sucks
