Heckuva game, daring wagers, too bad those $$ totals don’t equate to real $$. (Or do they? I thought they were just trying to play their way into the ToC, with specific $$ amounts doled out this Friday.)
Those guys smoked me repeatedly. I bested them only on the NH author and the dental decorations. I was thinking something “cliff” for FJ promontory.
I was 2/3 on DD (got hung up on “Simon Magus”), and had NO IDEA for FJ. I’ve never heard of that.
I had to salute Will for running the Bible category, though. Also, I wonder if contestants forget that the difficulty of the DD is approximately that of the money level. But, “go big or go home”!
So, my horse, Will, is still in the race. I’m not changing horses mid-stream.
And I’ve never (yet) seen “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”, VJ!!
It became a very competitive game towards the end, but Will emerged as the champion with his correct response in FJ. As for me, I came up with ‘Rock’ almost instantly in FJ. I mean, wasn’t that what the clues were alluding to? Oh well.
Jay’s score at the end of the first round with -400. Adam Levin still holds the record for the highest second place score of 27,000 going into Final Jeopardy! What a fantastic battle between Evan and Will. They were buzzing in crazy and poor Jay was caught between two buzzsaws. 52,000 is the highest payout of the season. This is too cool, for the first time ever in Champions Wildcard history, we have two Second Chance winners in the finals Drew Goins and Will Yancey.
I think maybe one more could have got it with an extra hint after a semicolon, like
; also the first name of Marilyn Monroe’s character in “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”.
Or maybe not. 🤣
