I feel so sorry for Ken. Aaron seems to be a smug, annoying person but the person he beat yesterday seemed even more annoying. So I lived through that. But today, a strong player like Ken losing, is too much. Hope Aaron loses tomorrow.
Sometimes I wonder what makes a viewer take a dislike to a game show contestant. I mean, does the person have a mannerism that reminds the viewer of someone they disliked in real life? In any event, I didn’t see anything smug about Sam and I don’t see anything smug about Aaron so they must not have pushed my “smug” button lol.
Personally, I prefer players who are obviously delighted that they won the game, as opposed to the ones who act like they got FJ wrong when they got it right,.
good analysis VJ. he did push my “smug” button as u put it. 🙂
@klm I met Aaron on reddit and he was pretty nice
MAC Cosmetics was not a bad guess by Ken. He may have been focusing on the first part of the clue rather than the later part. Living in a household where adult female daughters visit us periodically over recent years before the pandemic I’ve seen MAC Cosmetics in their possession but can’t recall seeing any products with Avon names. I can see him being more familiar with a recent popular cosmetics company. Poor Ken should have focused on the second part of the clue.
Wasn’t the question turbulence wrong in the T-N-T category? I listened twice and it didn’t sound like turbulent to me. Maybe my hearing is going.
I definitely heard “turbulent”, Larry. (just listened to it with my eyes closed)..
This was the clue: ($200) Adjective for air that moves suddenly & violently
I heard turbulence too. Andrew muffed it. No one caught it.
It’s funny to see Ken wanting to switch categories even after he found the daily double. That was the best moment of the show. But still though congrats to Aaron on his second win. He needs that third win to stay in the lead. VJ do you also remember that threesome response from Kara spak previously? There should be more great moments like this.
