Total local preemption here tonight, so it’s only the recap for me.
Stumpers, FJ, 2/3 DDs unkind to me. Surprised she missed that middle DD.
Liked the 21st century movies category.
Yeah tough final for me also but I also don’t know mythology at all.
I did poorly in today’s game, and the FJ was surely gettable (but I didn’t come up with the correct response). I mean, the clues given in FJ were clearly a dead giveaway. Gee, and we were all taught about Daedalus and Icarus in grade school even. Anyways, all of the contestants performed well, and it was another great game.
That was a tough final as we got a triple stumper.
