I wonder if Chris would have had a better chance at that last DD if they hadn’t tied it to fashion. I think the fashion world adopted the expression and sticking “au courant” in the clue is what threw Chris.
Forvo uses it in other sentences, like this one.
De même le tabac était de rigueur car cela les maintenait éveillé.
Translation: Also, smoking tobacco was required since it kept them awake.
At first, FJ led me to Salt Lake, which has some unusual addresses, but the sports genie in my head quickly gave me Louisville. Mikey played well and deserved to win, BUT it was right there for Paul in Final. (And had Chris hit the last DD, he likely would have won in the end. I thought my knowledge of French would get it, but I got “en vogue” stuck in my head even though it didn’t fit the 2-7 part of the clue.)
There’s one reversal we didn’t see in this recap. It happened in the first round during the interviews.
It’s fixed, Kevin. I was checking on the sneak peeks during the first break, so I came in on the chat right when Chris talked about his battle with stage 4 colon cancer. He explained that it is affecting young people more often and urged people not to ignore any symptoms, esp. if there’s a famly history of it.
I believe it’s true that people have a much better chance of surviving cancer than they did 10 years ago. It’s been 4 years this month since I had my operation in Nov. 2020 and I have been in remission since this past January. I was stage 2 when I first found out but by the time they got done with the tests, it was stage 3! Alex Trebek didn’t get treatment till he was stage 4 but they were still able to help him fight it for 2 years.
