Ouch, really tough DDs, but cinch FJ. JB became a billionaire before he passed last year.
Missed the first round, but impressed that someone knew Multnomah County, my home since 1987.
Knew the 1962 film. Pretty creepy.
The music on the $1,200 clue of “Opera” sounds like the music from the episode “Faceytalk” from Bluey.
I’m sure it is — they’ve been putting opera in cartoons for decades
Bummer for Ron. Both the DDs, and FJ. Had the second DD gone his way, we might have had a contest at the end.
Regardless, congrats to Michael. However, I’m still putting my money on Juveria.
I watch too much Popeye. I said Barnacle Bill for the B-B sailor.
I struggled throughout the entire game, and with the clues which I could have got, the contestants quickly chimed in before I had a chance to come up with them myself. To top it off, I missed the FJ. No!!!!!!!!!!!!! A bad day for me indeed!
All 3 DDs were missed today resulted our fourth shutout of the season. I hope William Weyser will say darn those daily doubles to Ron.
Yes, I did say “Darn Those Daily Doubles!”. This wasn’t 1 of my best days. I feared this would happen, but best of luck to Michael, as he plays against Andy & Juveria in The Finals.
There’s another reversal we didn’t see on Page 1. It was the English Past Tense category for 400 in Double Jeopardy round. Ron initially got it wrong but Erin picked it up and got it right.
Thanks, Kevin. I meant to go back and watch that part again, but I got distracted.
