Triple Stompers?
I should probably stop now.
we could have code, like TS0, TS1, TS2 and TS3 maybe….
or maybe not?
🤣🤣🤣
Dylan thomas was one of my favorite poets but to see the contestants miss that clue on him. Wasn’t he responsible for drowning himself in beer and die from pneumonia VJ? Also, Joe couldn’t get anything going today since phil was pretty quick on the buzzer today.
Another thought: We should have a special term for Triple Stumpers (do we?) where each contestant actually buzzes in and gets it wrong.
[or maybe not]
I try not to be critical when contestants miss seemingly (to me) easy questions, but it was especially surprising to see all 3 miss the Dylan Thomas, well-known quote. When the 1st person gets it wrong, the 2nd usually notices the slight error. But for the 3rd person to have the benefit of hearing the first couple of mistakes, well …
LOL, DC! This bugs me, too, though I try to see the humor in it. Why take a guess on what was wrong with the first answer if you don’t really know? The word Phil had wrong was “dark” but Joe and Pam obviously didn’t know that.
Phil: What is “Do not go gentle into that dark night”?
Joe tries 3 changes: What is “Do not go gently into the dark night”? Into the night.
Pam thinks Phil should have stopped at gently: What is “Do not go gently into that dark night”?
har har har!
Right?
😂
It was kind of an up and down for Joe.
