Am i the only person to pick Agatha Christie for the Final? I hope not
Cinch Final, especially if you knew Darjeeling is in India and Mother T served in Calcutta.
Nick–the all-American-looking guy–was steady all the way through, whereas the other two self-destructed somewhat with wrong answers. Having the lead is critical when Final is so easy.
Kelsey did her best Matt Amodio impression (“What’s” repeatedly) until her last two clues when she said “Who is?”
Lawrence devoured the literature-related questions every day he was on, so it was surprising to see him miss that critical DD. I had no idea, but in hindsight the word “Panem” was a Hunger Games reference to Suzanne Collins’ books.
Despite a few flubs, this was a strong group tonight.
ha ha, Howard, at your description of Nick. Several times throughout the game when Nick got a clue, my daughter exclaimed “how old is he???” She is my late in life baby and I was kidding her about the college championship category “Your Parents’ Music” yesterday — saying that was more like “Your Brother’s Music” for you. She can’t be more than a few years older than Nick but apparently, his youthful countenance blew her mind
I also loved that song I can see clearly now. Originally anne Murray sang it before jimmy cliff took over. Weather songs are also my favorite as well. Glad to see a triple solve today. The daily doubles were not in Lawrence’s favor today but I am happy he got a good challenge. Congrats to Nick on his win and i am looking forward to this second chance tournament
If I’m not mistaken, “I Can See Clearly Now” was written and originally performed by Johnny Nash. The others are all covers.
You are correct, jk. That was Johnny’s biggest hit. He passed away in October last year in Houston.
“Stormy Weather” is one of my favorites too, VJ. I also like Jimmy Cliff’s “I can see clearly now”, even if the weather reference isn’t in the title. Keep up the good work. We love this page!
I really liked that category about weather songs (it’s on page 2), though I would have liked it even better if the $200 clue asked for the title of Lena Horne’s signature song
