I was 3/3 on DD, but could only come up with what Isaac did. Had Diana come into my mind, I would have recalled. But, I kept going back to E. Annie Proulx, who wrote “Brokeback Mountain”, among other things.
Now, the last DD reminded me of a 1 day champ from a few years ago (maybe still with Alex) who had a clue that had the same response. That player was Canadian, and blurted out “What is the Department of Ways and Means”? , in a way that I found very flippant, and she said “I’m Canadian”. I thought, at the time, “Don’t matter, you’re on an American show”. Just stuck with me.
Neilish can’t count on the DDs. He was very fortunate to get them at the same approximate time in both games.
Neilesh, 1 more game and you win. Adriana and Isaac, you need to win these next few games to stay in the tournaments.
My goodness, those two all-in DD wagers last night and tonight likely will be the deciding factors in who wins this competition. Especially tonight’s, since Adriana nailed FJ and Neilish didn’t. I was hoping she’d avoid a runaway. Poor Isaac is unabashed about showing his frustration. He’ll get a nice consolation prize if he finishes third.
Last DD wasn’t impossible, and I thought Isaac would know it. Most elite players would. Other than that one DD, the other 2, FJ, and all the stumpers other than the kind of diet were unkind to me.
I find Neilish’s swaying back and forth irritating
Don’t think he can help it.
I said the same thing, about how, in the first have, they had to move the camera to follow him. However, my comment didn’t post. But, I think he CAN help it, as he has been seen not swaying.
Half the time, I’m just listening to the game, so I don’t pay much attention to the swaying or other contestant quirks unless it’s audible.
I’m really quite noise sensitive these days to the point where Ken sounded like he was yelling out the clues in that ridiculous Meyer Schusser category, just so he could sound like a German storm trooper. Yikes!
That was a stupid category and Ken made it even more awful by reading the clues the way he did.
