I thought FJ was not as bad, expressly due to the 1806. I don’t know why I got it, just that I did!
I’m happy that cute Mira won again!
Good for you! Congratulations! I was close with ‘king’, but ‘apparently’ not quite close enough. Actually, I sure thought that ‘king’ would fly.
I liked the Poets’ Rhyme Time category. Got ’em all.
I was wondering if any of the contestants would have had better luck with the ’80s singer in “Autobiographies” if they had worked in one of her hits (“Hit Me With Your Best Shot” or “Love is a Battlefield”) instead of the picture.
No wonder Mira is so good in history. She has a degree in it from Harvard.
The songs probably would have done better than the picture, though I found it so fun to hear Chrissie Hynde and Joan Jett as “idk but I’m gonna swing” guesses.
Reminds me when I used to guess Debbie Reynolds instead of Doris Day or vice-versa when playing trivia with my parents.
Thanks so much for the link, VJ. I like Mira very much, so very smart and sweet.
VJ, do you recall who it actually was a photo of when a contestant answered “Mick Jagger” several months back? I was cracking up and now I can’t remember who the person was.
Well, I couldn’t recall exactly when that was, Rhonda, but I was able to look it up because you made a comment about it. It was on 6/13/22:
KNIGHT AFTER KNIGHT ($400) To honor his father, this star here was knighted in his birth name, so he’s Sir Maurice Micklewhite.
I don’t know which image of Michael Caine they showed but I’m sure it looked nothing like Mick Jagger. lol.
Of course, thanks so much, VJ! I can’t believe it was 8 months ago already!
A tough FJ to be sure, and I came up with ‘king’. Hmmmm…….I wonder if Ken Jennings would have accepted that? Anyways, ‘Kaiser’ wasn’t such a bad guess per se, but I would have hardly chosen ‘chancellor’.
No, king would not have cut it. I briefly considered HRE, but it just didn’t sound right. And I thought kaiser or chancellor were too obvious.
I thought this was a very strong group tonight. Sometimes the younger players reveal their youth, such as not knowing the famed jazz trumpeter, the “heart and a rock ;place” singer, where the Mark Hopkins hotel is, and the still-famous Steelers QB.
