    That DJ! round is what I’m talking about. Not one miss.

    With the guy I don’t like and the”mumbler”, I have my favorite. Now, though, it’s the current “best of seven” series to win. Hope Troy has the stamina.

  2. Howard says:

    Glad to see Troy advance, as I picked him last week as a potential ToC champ.
    Smartest music exec since Buzzy Cohen.
    Luigi gave him a good tussle, though, and I loved his elegant pronunciation of Lucrezia Borgia.
    Utterly shocked no one knew the anagram of SO RECITE.
    First 2 DDs not tough, 3rd one and FJ killers.

  3. Rick says:

    Some tough FJs lately, but all gettable. In today’s FJ, I went with anarchism (for lack of a better choice).

  4. Ismael Gomez says:

    And we got a triple stumper to start the week.

  5. William Weyser says:

    Good luck, Yogesh Raut, Troy Meyer & Ben Chan in The Finals, and I’m sure someone will get Final Jeopardy! right in this All-Male affair.
