Usually, they’re pretty good at getting all three contestants to the same height. However, on this day, Allegra, I believe, is MUCH shorter than most. The footstool they put under her was too much, or, actually, Sofia was too low. In any case, I happened to see that.
Otherwise, a total dud show for me. 0/3 on DD and missed FJ. I first said St Paul’s, but then went to St Peter’s in Rome. My spouse, not a J! fan, just like the three, did get it correct.
I have to disagree with my friend Howard, as to the earwax clue. There is a best selling product in drug stores and supermarkets that is clue answer + “ex”, for chemical removal of that wax.
I have my earwax professionally removed every summer, so when I see the fancy name on the printout of the visit, that’s why I know its medical equivalent. If one doesn’t have to deal with such matters, I’d think they wouldn’t know the product’s name either. Like me before I had these procedures. Also, I see tons of drug commercials on TV and I swear I still don’t know what conditions they’re supposed to treat.
Joseph hung in there, Sofia finished with a decent total, but they were no match for the winner. Super impressive. Oops–I said St. Paul’s for Final and didn’t think about it any longer. 11th century just slightly before my time.
Got only the first DD. In hindsight, I do remember the Ruby Bridges artwork. Guessed the royal pair’s wedding couple. Definitely knew the earwax clue, that was a toughie. And now I know that there are 3 living peoiple who don’t know what CPR stands for. Except for the $400 clue, those dictionary clues were tough.
Yes, Allegra was quite impressive.
I guessed the right answer for final, was the only thing that came to me.
