Jackie really killed it on the Shakespeare category. But, although good, she didn’t look like she could keep up with Raymond and Troy. I had to laugh when she referenced her “RBF”!
I notice now, and it is more quizzical. Troy’s wager locked out Jackie. So what? They’re both out.
I was 2/3 on DD and got FJ. I (natch) didn’t know the Bill Shakespeare one.
But, I thought the DJ round was good. When Ken said it was a perfect round, I literally smiled!
Good game. For a moment I thought Ray wasn’t going to come up with the UNCF. He probably would not have won had he missed it. I said Albuquerque for Final but really wasn’t sure. One of the easier of the recent FJs, for certain.
Didn’t see the movie but knew the Jimmy Chitwood basketball film. Rocky’s opponent pretty well known after nearly 50 years. “Ain’t gonna be no rematch.”
No real effect on the eventual outcome, but Troy’s faux pas on “capitulate” could have been fatal.
It was another fabulous and competitive game along with a no-brainer for FJ.
