I got FJ due to 1827. If it was 1793 or 94, that’s Mozart. Don’t recall any others.
Cinch FJ didn’t come to me till the final seconds. Ryan’s wimpy FJ bets are kind of perplexing. If there’s no risk losing the game, how many other times in life is someone going to pay you thousands of $$ to answer one question? He’s more interested in writing tributes to his wife.
Hard to believe no one could deduce the Wm Harvey process or the plastered polecat. Or the $2K first/last letter clue.
Wow, towards the end of the show, I feared that Ryan was going to be the only one left to play FJ. Again, Ryan wagered nothing in FJ, and he likely won’t next time either if he doesn’t have to.
Poor Emily becoming the first contestant this season to get dismissed before Final J! as she never got a chance to get out of the red.
In other words, Congrats to Ryan on winning his 4th game.
First time this season that everyone got FJ! correct. Everyone left that is because it was one player short. Poor Emily, she spent all 60 clues in the red and never got out of the hole. I would darn those daily doubles to Adam because he missed both of them and it killed his chances and it knocked him out of contention but he did get a couple more clues correct to make it to FJ!
