Poor Taylor took it on the chin tonight, first with “cruel and unusual punishments” and then “lionine.”
Then the two tough DDs, although I did know both.
As William Weyser and Richard Corliss always say, Taylor, darn those daily doubles.
Not only that, the moment where Taylor had to have $2,400 taken away for him, because he said “Lionine”, instead of “Leonine”, which I’ve never heard of, took the wind out of Taylor’s sails, and he was unable to recover from that. Taylor, you can’t let that happen. You have to find a way to recover from that, and try to make a good game out of it.
I didn’t even know that happened till the reversal was announced because I said leonine at the same time Taylor said lionine. I just assumed he said leonine when Ken said he was right.
The final question was rather easy. . Yes, the Carthaginian Wars.
The daily doubles in the second round didn’t work in Taylor’s favor. New Brunswick is in New Jersey and not overseas. What was he thinking? I guess geography and poetry is not his best subject. I am happy Amy won again so I hope she continues her winnings. At least now we have another possible toc candidate in our champion.
New Brunswick is also a province in Canada.
