That was a remarkably easy Final. That’s in the “What else could it be?” group.
Did anyone else notice Jamie’s odd way of pronouncing Himalayas? “Hih-moll-ee-ahs” vs “HIM-uh-lay-uhs”. I’m not saying it was wrong, but I just have never heard it pronounced that way. I wonder if that was just nerves, though.
1/3 on DD.
Another power trio. Jack made a couple of costly boo-boos in DJ, but his fate was really sealed by his opponents nailing 3 all-in DDs. I briefly said “Wicked” for FJ but quickly came to my senses and realized what it really was.
Some silly misses on the NP railroad. Singapore hotel on the tip of my tongue, just couldn’t remember it in time. Surprised no one knew Masters’ equally well-known partner. That $2000 clue in Hometowns got me. (It’s Bryan, not Bryant.) Knew all the others.
What an exciting week it has been this week with big paydays. We had two 42,000 paydays in one week and that’s really amazing. I think that Jamie has to be invited back for next year’s Second Chance because she finished with over 21,000 going into FJ!
