I got FJ easily, because the wife and I are “true believers” – we drank the Kool-Aid, and had a second glass!
But, again, J! ruined the ending to a movie, that triple stumper above. I’ve never seen it!
But, really – the host’s inconsistency continues. She pronounced Rouen correctly, but totally Americanized Tallinn. It appears, from my viewing, that she doesn’t prepare as much as Ken Jennings (alternately, he could just be sharper than her). I saw a Reddit headline (that I didn’t read) that said he’ll be back on 14 Feb.
That 5K bet in the second daily double helped Emma a lot today, but sad that she didn’t get this final. I was on the tower of terror with a friend of mine back in 2007 when we were in Orlando Florida. Also VJ happy Friday to you and have you ever rode on the tower of terror in Florida?
No, Lou, I have not been on any kind of ride for about 40 years, and that last time was in Seaside Heights, NJ. I was upside down on the Loop-de-Loop and I said to myself, “What the hell am I doing upside down on the Loop-de-Loop? When I get out of here, I’m never going on another ride again!”
I was happy to see Emma get a runaway today. She’s a strong player.
