I take pride in being a non-Texan and being able to name the Six Flags Over Texas. Google a picture of the statehouse floor in Austin, and see how attractive it is!
I liked Erin’s charisma. However, how in the world could that Olympic DD be in the $1000 position? Still, I hope, maybe, she can link a few together!
I’ve read that when Nathaniel Hawthorne was doing family genealogy in Boston archives, he discovered that his great-great-grandfather, John Hathorne, was one of the judges at the trial in Salem Village. He never found any evidence that his ancestor ever admitted that he was perhaps wrong. Causing Nathaniel to add the “w” to his last name to distant himself. Hathorne had been the chief examiner. Some of the other judges had recanted.
Once again, we have two players playing in Final Jeopardy.
Wow, I didn’t expect the FJ to be such a slam dunk tonight. Did the writers really think that any of the contestants were going to flub it?
The final was pretty easy.
That was a nice comeback for Vince at the end of Double Jeopardy! With 7 clues left the scores were Erin at 21,000 and Vince at only 3,600. For the third day in a row we have a new champ.
I keep bringing it up but I hate the inconsistency of the rules. Today a player needed to specify TED Kennedy but yesterday just COLLINS was perfectly acceptable for Jackie Collins. Joan is the far bigger name. Just venting again.
I agree. It’s sloppy. Letting Collins slide elicited a WTH from me, fwiw.
