I don’t know how many people might call Mattea “personable”. Oh well! But, Drew? That kid is affable and so exuberant! And, I thought the stage was cold – I’ve always said, if I ever got on J!, I would wear an aloha shirt, but I thought I’d have to wear a blazer over it, ere I get shivers. But, Drew rocked the aloha shirt. I also dig the shaka at the beginning!
The Nautilus was well before my time, but I got it easily. New London CT is from where most US Navy subs originate, at least as far as I know!
Daily Doubles, on the other hand, weren’t my friend. 0/3. Should have gotten the parenting one, but I chose another ice event, and said Zamboni.
We’ll have to see how Will does!
It would have been great if they had this STARTS WITH D clue in Will’s game and he got it.
“To speak slowly with vowels prolonged; some might have a ‘Southern’ one”
Hmm, only one woman out of 9 semi-finalists. I wonder how many will make the expanded field for ToC, and how many have qualified so far.
I was very young at the time, but I certainly know remember the Nautilus.
Never heard of curling parents, but “sweep” and “sports” led me right to it, as it did for Drew. He’s so darn talented and personable, and so young. Like Mattea Roach and many others in the past. My sister’s close to 3X his age and has a crush on him.
Thought someone would know the gospel singer, considering she sang the day of the “I Have a Dream” speech. Was sure one of them would know the 3 words for gambling on 4th down. (If it were a women’s sport, Jen surely would have known it.)
