We end the week with a triple stumper.
I was amazed at Leah’s bet. Amazed and happy because she played a great game. Well done!
Does anyone remember the last time that both Daily Doubles were found on the last clue of J! and DJ! rounds in the same game?
Only technically (The last round had a few unplayed clues)
Well, the contestants have caught a lucky break today with Stuart and Leah not betting anything. But still I thought all of them would know about the Spanish Armada. Why did Leah go for the knights templar VJ? That happened in the 11th century and not the 16th.
It was unusual to see both Daily Doubles in the last clue in each round.
