And we got our third triple stumper this week resulted our fifth losing week in the final this season.
I feel like he should have known that 18600 was good enough for a wild card spot
I feel like Will Weiss and his 2 opponents want to nail Alexander Hamilton with a hammer, and stick him to the wall. That along with Benedict Arnold from 2012, and Major John Andre from 2011.

I like Will’s wager in FJ! because that was his only chance of making it to the semifinals as a wild card. But for some stupid reason, Adam wagered everything and I don’t like that wager at all. It’s a horrible wager. He should have wagered 0 to guarantee a wild card spot but too bad he was locked into the green room all day. Jen and Paul are lucky, they have been waiting all week long to see if their scores are good enough to advance to the semifinals and they did.
Like you, I like Will’s wager. He did the right thing. It just didn’t work out. I don’t Adam’s wager, because he should have wagered 0 and guaranteed himself a Wild-Card spot. He didn’t know that, because he was locked in the Green Room all day. At least, Marko played it safe and won. Better luck next time with this tournament format.
This is the first time we have wild card semifinalists since the professors tournament.
