I was 2/3 on DD and missed FJ. Got about 70% of TS.
After the correct FJ was announced, I thought back to Kenneth Branagh’s Henry V, and the speech. Unfortunately, I did not recall when was Agincourt, so, didn’t even matter!
Roger once again did his slow and steady wins the race, enunciating clearly, and rolling like a slow-moving, 2 million pound freight train. I don’t recall who picked him to win (Howard, VJ. or someone else), but, unless Matt really turns it up, Roger is my horse.
Roger has long been a very daring player, going big on DDs/FJ and taking stabs at clues he doesn’t necessarily know. It’s been to his detriment in some of his prior experiences. It was a virtual certainty that he’d wager at least $9601 in FJ. Jen was never really in the game, but had an outside chance. Drew was in a tenuous position. He could have wagered $4401 to go for the win in case Roger missed or bet $0, but a wrong answer would have left him with $9599, or one dollar less than Jen if she doubled. I had no idea which saint was the answer.
I wasn’t too terrible tonight. First DD was in my 2 strong suits. Astounded no one knew the SCOTUS justice from Boston. Totally knew Las Vegas’ county. Second round got the Dickens-related DD, briefly thought Drew might miss it. Guessed the Parchman Farm state.
Roger has taken some heavy hits for sure, like this one, but he’s a good sport about it.
Ah, thanks, the Battle of the Decades. The tournament in which, when they intro’d the 45 players, I said the final 3 would be Ken, Brad, Roger, and that they’d finish in that order. Which I believe they did. Very surprised Roger missed that DD, it wasn’t very hard. Also Final. I knew Silence of the Lambs which was good enough, also Cuckoo’s Nest which was over 30 years prior. Both films won just about everything big at the Oscars.
Actually, Howard, Brad won. The next day was the final match.
How did 2 people get this final correct? I’m catholic and I had no idea.
They probably know these saints from the Shakespeare angle. They are mainly Anglican saints now. Crispin and his bro were kicked out of Roman Catholicism because there’s no evidence they were real. Then they reinstated them as martyrs because you can’t have too many martyrs.
Roger is now a 2 time JIT finalist. Last year he also made it to the JIT finals and this year he has done it again. Great performance by both Drew and Roger. Drew had the best first round and Roger had the best second round.
