Ugh. I figured Tennessee Williams, but said “Streetcar Named Desire”.
The first round was killer. The second was a bit of a letdown.
Props to my hometown hero Mira for moving on. The guys were in it for a while, just couldn’t get any momentum. FJ stumped me until the last few seconds when “proverbial” made me think of “A Raisin in the Sun.” And I have seen the movie “Cat,” but that was very long ago.
Knew the Congresswoman, a very fiery soul from NYC; guessed the Great Lake; and was shocked no one knew the man from Independence.
That tough DD killed any chance Vince had of staying alive, although Mira would have won anyway. The Cabello/Cabella mishap was very similar to what happened when I played. In 9-letter Words, the champ answered “parfumerie” and Alex OK’d it. There was a long, unexplained break after the first round, after which they ruled her wrong and took away $800. Despite my solid background in French, had I been allowed to ring in, I’d have said “parfumier,” which probably would have been disallowed because they were looking for “perfumery,” the place where it’s made, not the person. C’est la vie!
‘Cat On A Hot Tin Roof’ is rather cryptic, but in any case, I should have come up with it in FJ. Personally, I never seen the 1958 film, but my mother and sister did. Actually, my mother thought that it was “corny”, and my sister concurred.
For only the second known time ever, everybody bet 0 in FJ! The same thing that happened on Mira’s quarterfinal game. And by the way, the Jeopardy website has updated the 2024 Tournament of Champions quarterfinal matchups.
