Most of the show was pre-empted here because of football and informercials. We picked it up about 20 minutes in. I did catch both DDs, both cinches.
“Cars” came to mind immediately, but I thought that was too generic. “Model Ts” was my next thought, but that might have been too specific. So I don’t know what I’d have written.
As someone else noted, Yogesh bet enough to lock out Jimmy. He had to figure Katie would bet big in case he did. But she didn’t, so she outsmarted him in a sense.
I’m glad Yogi lost. I found him not really likeable. I like Katie and I hope she makes the toc.
I have a feeling the triple stumper rate during the game is about to go up without Yogesh on the panel.
Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This must have been someone’s idea of a joke. I mean, the FJ answer was a dead giveaway. Nooooooooooo……..all three contestants couldn’t have possibly flubbed it. I just don’t believe it!
That’s because it was a tough one.
Nooooooooooooooooo…..sir…..eeeee partner! Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even my 94 old mother came up with the correct response, and with some 25 seconds to spare.
I mean, the clues were just-just-just too obvious. Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beam me up Scotty! Noooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tough final as we begin the week with a triple stumper.
I think that Yogesh made a great bet, he knew that in order to win he has to bet small to stay above Jimmy if he doubled up but Katie didn’t wager to cover Yogesh which is a good thing because it worked out well for her.
Today’s FJ! was flawed in its initial wording, which means that Yogesh as the player most affected by the wording due to the wagering should be returned to the show and be allowed to continue his run. So we may or may not get to see Yogesh again. But as of now it looks like Yogesh will not be in the next Tournament of Champions.
“Yogesh as the player most affected by the wording due to the wagering”
Kevin, I don’t know how you figure Yogesh was the most affected by the way the clue was worded “due to wagering.” They all made their wagers based on the category, right?
The clue was shown on the show’s website like this:
BUSINESS & INDUSTRY: This was first sold in 1908, at a price equivalent to about $27,000 today
The clue was shown to the players with a slight change in the category that probably made no difference to the wagers. However the first two words of the clue were made plural:
BUSINESS MILESTONES: These were first sold in 1908, at a price equivalent to about $27,000 today
I didn’t think the first clue had enough in it to point the contestant to a specific product. I thought Katie’s response would be good. Yes, I know some folks had no problem with it but I still feel the same.
I also think the clue shown to the contestants was even worse. They couldn’t even add the word “each” after $27,000?! If they worked “Tin Lizzie” in the clue somehow, it would not have been a triple stumper.
Honestly VJ, the only well known product that debuted in 1908 could only have been the Ford Model T. In that respect, I was naturally shocked with disbelief that none of the contestants came up with the correct response. However, Katie was on the right track at least with “cars” so she deserved some credit. Personally, I came up with Model T well before Ken finished reading it, and my 94 year old mother chimed in with “Model T” just a few seconds afterwards. By the way, there are thousands of Model T’s still on the road since millions of them were built. In addition those “Tin Lizzies” were a dependable means of transportation and exceptionally well built. Believe it or not, did you know that parts for those Model T’s are still widely available in the aftermarket?
Thanks for the additional info, Rick. I know very little about cars. I’m pretty much car-blind, probably except for the VW Beetle. 🤣🤣🤣
