I was 3/3 on DD, and got FJ. Concur with the high caliber contestants. I saw James repetitively getting beaten on the buzzer. That had to be that falling with the scientific and nuclear clues!
It was another terrific game, and I scored somewhat above average. Regarding the FJ, I went with the ‘Operation’ game by Milton Bradley. You know, the ‘Operation’ game never did appeal to us kids. In fact, we never played it. No, the FJ couldn’t have been that easy if two of the contestants couldn’t come up with the correct response. Yeah, we played the ‘Twister’ game a long time ago, but it was not all that appealing to us.
We don’t know that James couldn’t come up with the answer. With a zero bet and nothing at stake, he took the opportunity to get Ken to say a tongue twister and Ken played along.
I liked the Operation game commercial. 🎶Operation… you’re the doctor!
Yes VJ, but I have never ever been aware of any contestant who opted to omit a response in FJ if he/she knew the answer. Actually all we could assume here was that James simply could not come up with the correct response.
Not we, Rick — you could assume that if you like. I assume James had a prank answer up his sleeve if he got a chance to go with it.
I have seen plenty of players opt for a joke answer, Sometimes it happens when a player has a runaway. Other times, when the player has nothing to lose.
Yes, who could ever forget that woman exclaiming ‘Operation!” at the end of the commercial?
Another powerhouse group. I’m thinking the staff front-loaded the contestant pool with the strongest qualifiers for when the seemingly endless tournament games were over. But I was surprised only one got the easy FJ and no one knew the author of “Look Homeward, Angel.” All 3 DDs went my way, too, a pretty rare occurrence. And many of the $1000/2000 clues were not that difficult. All of which probably explains the high scores entering FJ.
0 for 5 on the Science Movies, yikes. Got a couple of the beastly verbs.
