1/3 on DD and missed FJ. Couple things about that: I live right on Lake Erie, and the Great Lakes are just ground into us from childhood. But, I said the same – Superior and Michigan.
As to FJ, I said Tycho Brahe, and with confidence, at that. That’s because I did a report on him in college. And, that college I attended was a historical rival of the Hokies school.
I got the Latin clue to which my friend Howard alluded, because I took Latin in my public school!
Harrison revealed some more, including having lived in NYC, but, if he has lived in UK that long to change his accent, he’s REALLY good on purely American trivia.
Looks as if I missed a good game, with each player having the lead. Didn’t get Final, got 2nd DD and half of each of the other two. Any self-respecting college sports fan knows the Hokies’ school. (They fired their football coach midseason and just hired a new one who also was recently fired.) Sartorial combo easy. Knew the other word for faithless. Sometimes I wish I’d taken a Latin class. My wife had to at her Catholic HS.
Can you catch it on Hulu or Peacock, Howard? Lydia really was playing very well until she mispoke Calder’s last name with Caldwell. It seemed like that threw her off balance after that. Then she pretty much had to bet big on that DD to catch up. I felt bad for her.
Let us request Jeopardy would require the answers with full names (first and last) when naming persons.
No. It’s fine the way it is.
