“Hair-raising tale” … Very clever, Mom!
😁
A brief flash of inspiration led me immediately to Tesla. Petting cat to static to the man. Amazing. I suspected Harrison might go big in Final. Sarah, who had a promising start till that first DD, had nothing to gain by betting the farm in Final. $399 or less was the way to go, and instead she finished 3rd. Dumb.
I went with Confucius for first DD but nailed the other 2 easily. Almost got the travel book but added one sight too many to the title. I got them on the oil/vinegar vessel, Harlem Congressman.
Fast or mumbled speech is a barrier for me, but Harrison’s does not faze me at all. I use closed captions but really look at them only when I’m multi-tasking and not paying 100% attention.
Wow, another clear runaway for Harrison, and what a runaway that was! I mean, the other contestants had absolutely no hope at all of winning the game unless Harrison was going to bet the store in FJ. Anyways, I also went with Einstein in FJ, but I sure didn’t think that I was going to score on that one.
Why does Harrison talk fast?
I don’t know. Sometimes I can’t understand what he said.
Why can’t he stand still?
I have that same trouble VJ. I mean, I don’t know about Harrison speaking fast, but his responses are hard to pick out at times. Well, Ken Jennings doesn’t seem to have any trouble with it.
Harrison is the first player this season to sweep the entire week. He is also now #17 in the all-time winnings.
