As it sometimes happens, the end-game was nothing like the opening. Henry was going nowhere with his wrong responses. All 3 DDs were very knowable, but FJ was a brain-buster. All I could muster was “Smithsonian” which was pretty weak.
Figured someone would know the Spanish cape, since the answer was mostly given in the clue. No one knew the ancient dancer? Hmmm. And the saint on a medal went right over their heads.
Hasn’t aired on the Left Coast yet, but a former “J!” player is supposed to be on “Pyramid” tonight. (Christopher)
RE FJ wagers: there are different ways to parse this, but I’m thinking Leah should have bet $1301. Enough to pass Henry if she got FJ right and he got it wrong or bet $0. Kit’s $5K wager seemed a bit odd, unless she was trying to pass Leah in case the latter bet $0. $1301 would have won Leah the game even though she missed FJ.
A triple stumper for FJ, and I didn’t get it right either.
And we got a triple stumper as today’s final was a tough one.
