I was 0/3 on DD and missed FJ. For me, Final just seemed a bit clunky. Not a great showing by me! However, got most of the TS.
Yeah, that Anna Christie clue – Mae West?? But, Marlena Dietrich and the correct response have been confused one with the other for 90 or so years. If course, if you know my viewing habits, you know I knew that one!!
I took Will as my candidate. So far, so good!
FJ music was nearly over when I mustered “moons of planets.” Not quite.
Will was clearly the alpha player today. He’ll be tough to beat, unless one of the women gets on a roll and hits some big DDs.
Thought someone would know Scopes’ prosecutor. He was also the FJ answer recently (that I knew but the contestants didn’t) in a totally different context. I wasn’t 100% sure of the “Anna Christie” actress but did get it. Mae West? Oy!
You could see that Will realized his mistake on the Scopes clue right after Ken said the right answer and the camera panned back to Will.
It was another splendid game, and a virtual runaway for Will. As for me, I did quite well in the game. Actually, I rarely mention the DDs that I get since I simply include them with the total. In my mind, the real prize is the FJ, and that one got away from me today. Oh well, but there is always tomorrow!
