Missed the first half of the game, but it sure was a good one. Thought Grace would go all in on the 3rd DD, but meekly bet $1000. All 3 DDs very gettable. Knew Final immediately but blanked on the exact name, All I could come up with was Masada which I knew was wrong.
Got the place of execution, Greek-named era, and the 200/800/1000 $ stumpers.
I don’t remember ever seeing so many stumpers in the first round!
The only clue I didn’t get in the Some Rhyme category was the one Spencer got. I thought that was funny.
I meant to say that the 3 I got were in that Rhyme Category. Other 2 eluded me.
I was 3/3 on DD and got FJ. I think TJ put his response to have something there. I, myself, thought the clue gave more than enough information to get it. For a moment, I thought of Shin Bet (internal security), but thought that such a clue would, alternately, be too difficult.
