The two who said “Robinson Crusoe” misread the question, which wanted the “HIM” and not the title character. Which is why I thought it was Friday from that novel.
I have never heard of Sancho Panza.
Actually, Brayden’s 5-Day Total is $115,798, not $117,798.
I thought that it might have been Lemuel Gulliver.
This episode gave kept me on the edge of my seat
Not fair, imo, to verbally attack David who is an English teacher for missing the fj clue. When I had to read Don Quixote in high school it was in a Spanish class taught by a Spanish teacher and not an English teacher. Given that Cervantes wrote the original work in Spanish it is considered Spanish Literature. Even though I read the work many years ago I could not come up with the correct response. It was an out of sight out of mind moment for me.
We start the year with a triple stumper.
By the way, sancho did warn don Quixote about the windmills not being giants and yet he lost his marbles facing those things head on.
A great start for the new year with Brayden getting the fifth win. Congrats to him and the leader curse is broken. But still David had the lead until that anthropology daily double threw him off track. Why.did he risk 10K when 5K should have worked? As an English language arts teacher, he should know sancho panza because if you remember there were a couple of clues that mentioned don Quixote previously, right, VJ? A simple final jeopardy yet the contestants were way off.
Oh I don’t know. Those were all reasonable entries in my book.
