Missed the show entirely (I went to see the Doobie Bros) but just read the fine recap.
First thing that came to mind for FJ was “You are what you eat.” Oops!
Surprised no one got Ann Arbor; the “Ann” part was a gimme. Not too many American cities with Ann in their name. My sis-in-law lives there.
My favorite category today was (of course) Sonnets. I also liked the Longfellow clue in Prepositions, too. We had to learn The Village Blacksmith when I was in the 5th grade and I can still recite the first two verses by heart.
@Lou, I’m not sure what you mean about Anthony and that first Daily Double. I don’t think that $400 he didn’t bet had any effect on his chances of winning. And I think Anthony performed very well today. He may have had a real shot if he had been the one to get that third very easy Daily Double.
I wondered if Anthony thought of telling Mayim that it’s Nork, NJ, not Newark.
I quickly thought of What is “You are what you eat” which was of course incorrect. As an ethical vegan since Friday 1 January 1993, after 12-1/2 years in the lacto-ovo vegetarian rut, I heartily also approve of the adage “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” as no doubt does interim host of JEOPARDY! and fellow ethical vegan Dr. Mayim Bialik (and our fellow ethical vegan Greta Thunberg among others). 🙂
Well another triple solve today but I just hope to see a true daily double on the first round so Anthony can cover Matt. I don’t see him having a disadvantage as there were a lot of ground to cover and make a big payday. But still this phrase is very common among everyone if they keep eating fruits and veggies to maintain a good healthy body and avoid taking medicine not recommended by doctors.
1 day, somebody will make the right true Daily Double, and that will help that player defeat Matt.
Yeah!
