I was 2/3 on DD and missed FJ. I was “in the area” in my mind, thinking of the South, but stalled there.
I don’t recall who said it yesterday, but, tonight, I did hear how Harrison’s accent seemed less UK and more US.
It’s nice to see a robust champ. Let’s see if he can complete the week. After getting his first six FJ correct, and, now, 2 misses, it is always something interesting!
Didn’t see the show. Did Kara really write “Wolfe” instead of “Woolf”? I thought of her too but knew she’d died long before 2016. I knew the first two DDs. Was not familiar with that Aussie state regardless of whether it had a lotta dessert or desert.
I’m OK with Kara’s wager, as she’d have won by $1 if Harrison bet $0. But the issue was that if she missed, she’d have fallen to 3rd if Blythe had FJ correct. But overall I think she wagered OK.
Got the soccer play, that’s it. Missed only one homophone.
Yes, she did, Howard, but I should have fixed that as she didn’t have the first name. Blythe had Alice Monroe and I fixed that.
Ugh Kara, you had to wager low there to win a double stumper. Continues to amaze me that these players are so ignorant to game theory and wagering strategy. Congrats to Harrison. 8 wins is impressive!
