Great run, Ray Lalonde. 13 wins & almost $390,000. We’ll see you in the Tournament of Champions.
Wow, what a terrific group tonight. I’m familiar with the FJ author was but never considered her at all. One fewer wrong answer by Ray, or if he’d nailed one or 2 of those easier stumpers, and the outcome likely would have been different.
I thought the city south of Seattle; the college conference/investor protector; Ken Burns series; the electrifying NYC park; and the type of tax (DD) were all there for the taking.
Ray looked like Luis de Guzman did in his last show – kinda in a fuzz. Ray beat himself. I thought Lloyd was trying to be flip with his $5 wager and likewise weird DD bet. I hope that that doesn’t become his hallmark. At that, I don’t see Lloyd going on a long run, anyways.
I agree. I’m not a big fan of weird bets.
As for the ocean’s hot dog, I absolutely hated them when I was a kid!
Luigi de Guzman
In the words of Alex, “ooh, so close!”
Ray had a great 13 game run so far as he is now in the tournament of champions. great to see everyone getting final Right.
We have our first giant killer of the new year and that is Lloyd Sy. Congratulations to him. After having three attempts in which a player came so close to taking down Ray, it took 4 attempts to do so. We’ll gonna miss Ray but with13 wins and nearly 390,000 in winnings he is now in second place in the TOC tracker.
