Manhattan Bridge is pretty obscure for $1,200 if you are not from NYC.
We start the week with a triple stumper.
I’m further exasperated by photo where there’s a big grin on Katharine’s face with $0 on her board. Just using simple math, she could’ve won this with around $13000 plus change. But no, she was going for that STUPID GRIN! Gawwwwwwwd, this is annoying.
That was the first thing that I saw in that picture too. Maybe Alex told a really funny joke off camera. BTW not that it is all that important, but it turns out that K’s father is the head football coach at UNC.
Yet again the second place finisher doesn’t have the number sense to stay put or just bet enough to cover for the third place finisher doubling up. Other than that, she isn’t going to win if the first placer gets FJ right and bets sensibly. So have a little common sense.
This has been happening too much lately. It irks, annoys, and befuddles me. Are contestants getting dumber because the pool is limited to California?
I agree that the betting has been awful lately. Absolutely no reason for K not winning if she protects against the 3rd place with a $3,200+ bet. The questions in general this season seem easier overall, probably because they are picking from a limited geographic area. However, in this case K is from Chapel Hill – go Tar Heels, not – lol.
