Darn Those Daily Doubles! Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day for me, my brain, and other people.
(Housekeeping note: I knew the Dr Pepper Museum city, but clicked on the link anyway, and it kept taking me to the Madonna video.) Supposedly Dr P has passed Pepsi as America’s #2 soft drink.
Ouch, missed FJ again and 2/3 DDs. Thankfully, I knew Odysseus’s faithful wife’s name, thanks to a book I read about them when I was 10 or 11. The super horse is somewhat well-known, but how many know the only horse to beat him was named Upset? Only other one I got was Betty Friedan org.
Thanks Howard, that’s fixed.
I got the Madonna song, always liked that one, but don’t know many Taylor Swift songs.
I got a kick out of the slang generation clue. Our preferred version of that is 10-4, dinosaur š¤£š¤£š¤£
I know one TS song, and 2-3 others only by name.
Not familiar with the 10-4 expression. If anyone ever asks you the diff between an alligator and a crocodile, the gator says “See you later,” and the croc says “After a while.”
Thanks so much for the Sargent video, VJ.
I did about average in today’s game, and missed the FJ. For lack of a better choice, I went with the French artist Monet. Yes, I was fully aware that the clues were referring to an American artist. As for John Singer Sergeant, I never heard of him until now. Gee, he sure didn’t want much for his portraits, but I suppose that the wealthy could easily afford them. In any case, I’m sure that those portraits were worth every cent. Wow, I couldn’t dare to imagine what each of those portraits would be worth now.
So Angel becomes the second player this season to receive a dismissal from the game as she was in the red for the entire game.
Disappointed show as all 3 DDs were missed resulted our fourth shutout and a double stumper in the final resulted our third epic fail on the wagering clues. I hope tomorrow’s episode will be much better.
Not the best day for our challengers today. Angel was unable to get out of the hole in the entire game and didnāt make it to Final while Aaron started off well, had a big lead over Rishabh going into DJ! but he missed both daily doubles knocking him out of contention. Darn those daily doubles to him.
