@Lou and William, you guys have heard of him but just don’t remember this clue from MacKenzie Jones’ 7th game last February
PLAYING REAL PEOPLE ($1600) Bryan Cranston: “I tried to capture the contradictions of this blacklisted onetime communist who also loved being the highest-paid screenwriter in Hollywood”
No, I don’t, VJ, and I really haven’t. All I do remember about Mackenzie Jones’ 7th Game is that she scored Mackenzie scored her 3rd runaway, everybody got Final Jeopardy! right about Filet-O-Fish, and Mackenzie won her 7th Game.
I am not familiar with Dalton Trumbo but does his last name sound like a musical instrument, VJ? If the n and the e were added it would be trombone. Spartacus was my favorite film that I have seen in my childhood.
Too bad Carlos didn’t get the second win after his fumble in the final yesterday. Perhaps Aimee can try and build up. Cole had a pretty good lead there but he could have had a lock on this game.
Kudos to Aimee for nailing today’s Final Jeopardy! about Dalton Trumbo, which is another name that I have never heard of, but I feel bad for Cole, because he almost had a runaway, and things didn’t work out in Final, and also, Carlos, because I was convinced that he had some room to try to make up for yesterday’s mistake, and that didn’t work out either. What will Aimee do on tomorrow’s show? We’ll find out.
Never heard of “Passaic” in any context. A bit humbling on a $200 clue.
idk why, JP. I can’t think of any reason why you should have come across that particular NJ county.
In the late ’80s, I took my kids to that language village up in Northern Minnesota for a week. If they just put up the name of that place or the county that it’s in, I’d have absolutely no idea and I’ve been there. (That would be humbling. lol) I’d have to look up the location right now to tell you where it is.
I find 8 clues with “Passaic” in J-archive, all referencing the city or river of the same name, and looking for NJ as an answer. And all of those were answered correctly, so I guess at least the river or city must be fairly well known.
I assume they weren’t actually expecting the contestants to know there’s a county by the name, any more than they were expecting contestants to know there was a distillery by the name “Wilderness Trail Distillery” in KY.
I guess it’s another one of those NJ suburbs of NYC across the Hudson to remember, along with Hackensack and Hoboken.
I’ve lived in Minnesota for over 7 years now, but I had never heard of the language village. I actually haven’t been much north of the Twin Cities Metro.
Okay, I looked it up. It’s in or by Bemidji — the alleged birthplace of Paul Bunyan and self-proclaimed curling capital of the USA. J-Archive also has a generous handful of clues on Bemidji
Bergen Passaic expressway interstate 80 runs through new Jersey so that should give you a hint there. It goes into Pennsylvania after exiting New York city. The highway also connects to Interstate 287 heading to Morristown and Mahwah.
It looked like this game goes to Cole, but Aimee broke his lock game on a couple of clues and she was the only player to get FJ right and win. Congrats to Aimee on her first win
Do you know how that happened when Cole lost his lock game when Aimee moved from 7800 to 12600?
It happened on the $2000 clue in Broadway Debuts, with only one $800 clue left after it (in the same category). Aimee got that one, too.
