I was 2/3 on DD and got FJ. I never ever come up with Avignon, at any time!
As far as FJ, though, I thought for a moment, doing the math, but then it came to me. I thank Professor Lucy Worsley and PBS, who has taught me so much of London in specific, England, and the UK cast wide, from the Dark Ages to presently.
It’s unfortunate that Allegra didn’t go further. Something about her style or charisma I found very engaging. It seemed that the other two contestants were on the stronger side.
That was Evan’s game to lose, and he became evanescent at the end. I dunno, I thought Final was kinda easy. Chris shot herself in the foot about 3X with mispronounced or plain bad answers, but won anyway. Allegra came on too little, too late to make an adequate defense. I got only the 3rd DD and none of the listed stumpers.
