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.
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.
Some tough FJs lately, but all gettable. In today’s FJ, I went with anarchism (for lack of a better choice).
And we got a triple stumper to start the week.
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.
