Andy’s early troubles gave me an inkling of his chops. I’ll be surprised if he wins tomorrow; the only way is if the other two contestants are relatively weaker. It seemed like he was quite fortunate to get the categories he did
I got the last 3 TS above. The poet one, I got from Jeopardy! itself! As for the Algonquin, I got that from “Alpha Flight” (you know, the Canadian X-Men) comic books from the 80s.
I thought FJ was easy, because I couldn’t think of anything else that would fit. As above, I’m surprised Cris didn’t get it.
As for the DD that Cris missed, I must admit I said the same thing. This is a bit ironic, because I went to med school with the grandson of the fellow who created Gatorade in the 60s at the University of Florida (yeah, Florida Gators – that’s why it’s not “Seminole Juice” from FSU or “Cane Ade” from U of M). He theorized that there should be something better than just water. Sweat is 1/4 tonic, which is why Gatorade has that taste that you can’t put your finger on – G’ade matches that tonicity, which is a lot weaker than 154mEq saline solution. And I did not know that sodium is #6 in the crust.
Aw shoot, all I could think of for FJ was “Camelot,” which of course is a musical, not exactly a play.
Not sure who’s in the mix for the next ToC, but Cris might be the early favorite.
Wow! Did not see that coming when the clue was revealed.
Among the categories I imagine Cris would have studied very closely over the years….Shakespeare. This clue didn’t appear to be of the highest difficulty, frankly.
Still shaking my head!
Shocker.
Then again, not his best game, overall, either.
But, a great run, nonetheless!
We’ll see ’em at the Tourney.
A tough FJ to be sure. Actually, I couldn’t help but notice Chris’ poker face before his response was revealed in FJ.
Noooooooooooooooooooooo😥
Cris definitely had a remarkable 21 game run over 2 months so he is now prepared for the next toc. Happy to see Andy winning today and he made a comeback in the later stages of double jeopardy
What an exciting finish! Cris and Andy were neck and neck in the final few clues of DJ! They were close to each other in score going into FJ! In the end Andy was the only to get FJ! correct while Cris didn’t and that means for the first time in over two months we have a new champion. Congrats to Andy Tirrell. After a lot of challengers failed to take down Cris, Andy was able to do that and helped him become the latest giant killer. Well we’re going to miss Cris Pannullo a lot but what a remarkable run he had.
