So, I’m 2/2 on predictions, but, I don’t recall enough of Courtney or John to forecast tonight’s game.
I echo the others (as usual, with this erudite bunch) that Margaret didn’t wager optimally. It’s win or go home, period.
I didn’t look precisely myself, but, the health and medicine category in the Double Jeopardy! round, I believe was a bit less than precise. One was the “ovarian tube” clue, as “Fallopian” is very out of date. Eponyms are really out (however, one remains still – Hansen’s Disease – possibly known to the general public as “leprosy”). Another was “arrhythmia”; more exactly, their definition was right on for “dysrhythmia”, of which “arrhythmia” is a subset. Finally, the outpocketings in the colon is diverticulosis. Only with infection is it “diverticulitis”. Just somewhat sloppy. I wonder if they would have given them to me, or, multiple corrections.
And, VJ, your write-up on FJ comes from my local paper!
That’s cool about the paper, Jason 😁
Not sure what Margaret was thinking with that wager. It’s a single-elimination tournament, right? No wild cards for high-scoring runners-up in this iteration of the ToC.
All 3 DDs and FJ crushed me. I never thought of “40 acres and a mule” as a general term for an unfulfilled promise.
I couldn’t name you more than 10% of current MLB players, but it pained me when no one knew
Santo/Chance and Smith/Brock. A few Hall of Famers in that group!
Utterly shocked that no one knew where St Mark’s Place is. Or the pig sound/peers anagrams.
Margaret is just delightful. Sorry to see her go down.
I was hoping to see a tiebreaker, too, between Margaret and Tyler but still happy to see them getting the final correct.
And then there were 15.
What an exciting game today! I was disappointed not to have this game settled with a tiebreaker.
