    Wow. Quite a shock between Will and Chelsea. But, man. He and Eddie were 🎶 super fast 🎶 on that signaling button.

    Excellent, back-and-forth game, despite the missed DDs. Still not sure why Final came to me immediately. Really thought at least 2 would get it. Crafty wagering by Will, locking out Chelsea, especially after missing that gettable 3rd DD. (Given more time, I’d have thought of it. I crashed on all 3 DDs but knew a surprisingly large # of the $1000 and $2000 clues.)

    How no one knew the wheel-based game show’s basis is a head scratcher. Same with the # of squares on a chessboard, come on. (And the $2000 Broadway clue was NOT a stumper; Will got it.) I despised that Wes Anderson made-up titles category, but I did come up with the $2000 stumper there.

      @Howard, I also thought 2 players would get it — Chelsea, based on her occupation, and Will, because he aced the Russian composers yesterday. I guess he’s not as savvy in Russian literature as he is in music.

      I also thought Ken was way too chatty during the game today and it contributed to the board not being finished. And, yeah, the 2 stumpers in Bway were Guys & Dolls and Chess. That’s fixed.

      Howard, speaking of despising, my parents don’t like triple rhyme time, initials with roman numerals, before during and after, and anagrams.

      • Howard says:

        Right on! My mind is just not as quick as it used to be. When Ken was in his run 20-ish years ago, I remember him totaly crushing a difficult Roman numerals category.

    Rough show as 3 DDs were missed resulted our second DD washout of the season.

    “In this 2023 movie, we learned”

    Should be 2003, not 2023…
