Crazy Coincidence: The John 15:13 quote ($600 clue in the New Testament category) showed up in “Greater Love”, a Gunsmoke episode featuring Claude Akins. (On the radio, it was John Dehner)
Cris started out like a house afire, but Jared hung in there.
Surprised no one picked up on that obvious “Marching to” hint in the Boer War clue. Also surprised that the losers got only $5K each which I think is what the ones who didn’t advance to the ToC also got. At least in the final rounds.
Saw something on the the “J!” Facebook page tonight about another tournament to follow, this one composed of “favorite” players from past decades, with the winner advancing to a new Masters tournament.
What happened to Cris? He went radio silent during the last 2/3 of the DJ round, until towards the very end. It didn’t look like he was struggling with the buzzer.
I read a story about an earthquake during taping, but I don’t know which episode it affected.
I had no clue on Final. I did look up the mentioned art, only to be surprised that it’s a topless woman!
I came up with Goya. Best I could do. The name of the artwork looked Spanish but also could have been Italian.
My wife has a BFA in art, so, she’d maybe probably know, but she goes to bed early.
But, me? Nuffum!!
It was a good game today, but none of us got the FJ right.
Well this was an upset as Cris Pannullo went home as Jared found all three daily doubles and dominated throughout the game. So we have two runaway quarterfinal games so far in this tournament.
