Go Ben! Go Troy!
I can’t put my finger on in it, but there is just something so unlikeable about Yogesh. Perhaps I’m totally wrong, but that’s the vibe I get.
Troy tends to have a slow Jeopardy round, but then comes out blazing in double J. Unfortunately that falcon DD tripped him up this time a bit.
Troy reminds me of Matt Jackson with the slow Jeopardy! round. He wants to give his opponents a chance before he kicks butt. Even with that DD miss, he still had a decent lead.
Alas, his FJ response showed all he knew about Ibsen plays were titles.
I didn’t get FJ, mostly because I don’t know that work – at all! I only knew of an orchestral suite!
I didn’t really dig Ben and his overactive, well, acting. Hope he tones it down.
Three strong players traded the lead. Yogesh had a very slow start but rallied. Troy let me down; I figured if I knew that last DD, then he’d nail it too. It cost him a runaway win. I thought of Ibsen but didn’t know which play.
I like the best of 7 format. Never was much of a fan of the 2-day finals, especially when one player dominates day one and is very hard to catch the next game.
Hedda Gabler is about an unhappy married woman. “Do it beautifully” is a line from Hedda.
We had yet to hear from Yogesh except he selected the first clue in the Jeopardy! Round. He didn’t ring in until the 18th clue.
Yogesh’s 0 bet was a bad strategy because it wasn’t enough to cover Ben’s doubled score and that cost Yogesh his first win but he has a chance to recover that tomorrow.
I don’t think he needs to bet to cover a Ben double-up because that probably loses him in case a triple stumper, which is much more likely than a miss-get-get. But something like a $2800 would have been better.
