2/3 on DD, but missed FJ. Completely forgot about Plessy. I said Dred Scott.
I liked Jaskaran’s support for his Sikh community – “often seen, but, not often heard”. And, his play was just masterful.
Unlike last night, 3 strong players, and the best one clearly won. Good on him for getting FJ. I was stumped; I’d heard of Plessy but couldn’t remember its subject. I was torn between Brown vs Board of Ed and Dred Scott.
Good to see Margaret again. She’s a likeable flake but deceptively smart. Wasn’t she the one who came up with “regular” Virginia? They later made that a category.
Surprised Jaskaran boo-booed on that pretty easy DD. And the only one I got. Instinctively said North/South Korea for the DMZ. “1976” was a definite hint.
I did about average in the game, and I had a hunch that the FJ involved a race card during the 19th century. Well, even though the clues were obviously alluding to the railroads, I simply rolled the dice and went with the Dred Scott decision. No, I never heard of the Plessy V. Fergusson, but that certainly was a landmark case which will be noted.
All 3 DDs were missed resulted our tenth skunking of the season. I hope William Weyser will say darn those daily doubles to the contestants.
I did, although it didn’t matter in the end, because Jaskaran Singh made the game a runaway, and he was the only 1 to get FJ! right. Better luck tomorrow with the Daily Doubles.
You’ve been saying that since Hunter Appler failed to catch Pranjal Vachaspati and Buzzy Cohen for the lead.
Quite surprising that each one got a DD and they missed them all.
I thought it was great that Skyler was invited back. Here’s a link to his original game.
P.S. If there’s any mistakes in the recap, I’ll have to fix them later. I had to go to the doctor earlier and I need a nap!
Hope all went well and you feel rested soon
