Speechless. That’s what I am. Amy is my favorite contestant ever.
Love her understated-ness even when she gets FJ wrong.
Amy’s average win has plummeted from the $40K range down to a bit over $30K. She’s proving to be mortal in FJ. Someone just needs to stay within half of her score and catch her on a day she slips up at the end. Because I don’t see anyone seizing the lead from her during regular game play.
Had I not taken French classes for 10 years, I almost certainly would have missed that FJ.
This was a fascinating game in more ways than one. What is the probability that a college theater instructor would get a theater fj clue? Lucky for you Dan. I thought Taryn would not get a chance to play in fj because she was in the red. However, she came through with her last response which put her on the plus side. Whew! Close call.
Amy with a runaway score couldn’t be caught. Like JP I thought she would be the one to get fj correct. She keeps winning though in spite of missing some fj clues thanks to a quick buzzer and a breadth of knowledge throughout the match. Of course, finding the DD’s help too. Congratulations Amy.
Agreed, Jacob. I forgot the category on that clue Taryn missed for not using past tense and I thought she had it! Good for her for not giving up and getting back in the game.
Yep. It was 7-letter anagrams if I remember correctly. So glad she recovered and got to play fj.
I thought that the DD for the part of the brain was written in a rather sloppy manner. First, if “brain” is in the clue, that implies that the word “brain” is not in the response. Second, I’ll tell you, as a doctor, “brainstem” is not a medical term. The gradation they have is not medical. It’s cerebrum, cerebellum, medulla. The pons is in the “deep brain”. No neurologist, neurosurgeon, or other doctor uses the term “brainstem”, except, MAYBE, to explain to Jess-understanding patients or families. And, even then, they would not use the territory as described in the clue. As I say, sloppy.
I am surprised amy didn’t get final today but still though 2 out of three daily doubles isnt bad. She ran three categories so far which reminded me of Andrew pau and kerry Greene. There have been strong opponents so far but not all of them were able to beat Amy. I haven’t seen that many French plays but still if anyone here is a fan of French literature this should be easy.
I knew that Anagrams category rang a bell with me. Anagrams was the topic of the Bonus Clues in my 8/24/20 trivia quiz.
The clues weren’t limited to 7 letters, but 3 out of 5 were 7 letters all the same. I only had one (No. 4) that was in today’s Anagrams.
Amy’s been good, but she certainly seems to have beaten some very weak opponents. The win amounts are tiny.
I’m surprised that Amy missed FJ, but impressed that she answered the Daily Double about “The Decameron” correctly. Knowing it was originally written in Italian, I guessed Rome.
