Very uneven game today; lots of stumpers and wrong answers. Kind of too bad that the two challengers didn’t have quite enough to overtake Lucy at the end. She was very beatable today but is an outstanding player.
Had to laugh at the Seabiscuit and Man o’ War misses. I was at Belmont race track in 1973 when Secretariat blew away the field and broke the world record for 1.5 miles, 5 weeks after the Kentucky Derby.
Thats cool! My friends and I were kind of obsessed with horses at the time (we were 11) and watched all the races on TV so I knew this one. I guess the players were all too young. Or we are old😉.
A week ago (on Jan 8th), Master Minds had this question (worth 700 points) in the third round for Ken Jennings and Jonathan Corbblah, and neither of them knew it.
In 1953, Lesney Products began making what line of toys, named for the small packages that contained them?
I think that show was taped before this one, so Ken surely knew the answer to this one today:
WEE-POURRI ($1000) Now owned by Mattel, they began rolling off the assembly line in the 1950s & were named for their small cardboard containers
I knew that question sounded so familiar!!
As did the Rick Springfield one lol, right, VJ?
Yes, Rhonda! We just had ol’ Rick on Who Am I? not that long ago
Lucy has been dominant in the rounds, but has only gotten 1 of 3 FJs (not that she’s needed them).
VJ, is the Sneak Peak category meant to read 2 *letter* rather than 2 *word*?
Yes, DC, it is “2-Letter” (like I had it in the Round 1 category list, but apparently forgot when I typed the clues out!). Thanks!
There’s no such book called “Press the Button”.
Let’s hope she can keep it up a lot.
Lucy is doing pretty well So far. I would love to see a triple solve soon hopefully. Still. I want to see Lucy get a final jeopardy tomorrow if she wants to remain champion and earn a streak. This book was my childhood favorite and it is still etched in my memory forever. I hope you had some good memories as well from this VJ?
Go, Lucy, go!
