    After two tough boards that they handled pretty decently, the final was laughably easy. A lot of stumpers were difficult; but I thought the Bush decades, the sexagesimal number, and the bird process were gettable.

    I guess I can reveal this now. My friend Sharon, who narrowly lost in the final episode last season, is taping tomorrow on a 2nd chance callback.
    No idea yet of broadcast date.

    The 3rd daily double was so close. Kristen got the response incorrect because she just guessed the bird’s name, which needed the occupation. It is a falcon, but the response is unacceptable.

  3. Rick says:

    It was a fun game with the FJ being all too obvious.

  4. Christine Stone says:

    The question of Banarama’s number one hit was Venus, not cruel summer

    • VJ says:

      @Christine, the clue did not refer to Banarama’s number one hit, it referred to their August (summer) 1984 hit. Also, Venus came out in ’86

    The recent Finals have been waaaaaay tooooo easy.
