For some reason, I couldn’t access this site Tues night. Kept getting a “User has too many requests” msg or something like that. Tried two different browsers. Weird.
Formidable challengers played well. I’m OK with Jenna’s $5201 Final wager, but Will more or less had to bet at least $9201 and get it wrong for her to have a chance, so maybe a $4K wager would have been better for her, leaving her with $10400 and him with $10399 if both missed FJ.
Blanked on Final, I said sword, and got only the first DD. Knew the $2K Moving word. So who is this “Christ” O’Donnell who was in a film with Clooney? 🙂
lol, Howard, thanks for pointing that out. Sometimes my fingers finish a word with what they think I meant to type, kind of like autocorrect. I just wouldn’t have noticed that extra ‘t’ yesterday because I went to the eye doctor, she dilated my pupils and I was doing the recap with shades on.😎 My daughter calls it my cool cat look.
I was worried about Will for a stretch in Double Jeopardy! After he got that French island DD on the 6th clue, he was only heard from once until Clue 22, when they got back to the Russian composers. That was definitely his category! It helped him regain the lead but, being the only one to get FJ!, he likely would have won anyway.
