I got the Grenada flag clue because I did my first half of med school there. I also got the last clue in the DJ round, about Will Rogers. Between that one, and the HHH successor, it’s becoming slightly apparent that there is a “history deficit”. The Meryl Streep one, though? Ne’er even heard of it!
The Double Jeopardy round was all right. I thought the first round was much better. Much.
And, if you have a moment, do a little research on the Grenada spice. The story is rather interesting. Another major crop grown on the island (not marijuana)? Indigo, such as is used as denim dye!
Sounds very interesting, Jason. I’ll look into further for sure
That science daily double should not have been that hard as it definitely is physics related. Drag was something I learned back in college but I have heard that term countless times playing Gizmos and Gadgets, Not surprised that Evan missed it But still happy that he and Kate got this final right. Still I found Amy’s final response very funny. I always loved hearing this said in movies starring Matthew McConaughey. Pure comedy I tell you VJ!
I wouldn’t have even had a guess on that Science DD. I thought that category wasn’t named right. They had an anatomy clue in there plus clues about planets are usually found in Astronomy, but whatever… that Neptune clue had more to do with mythology than science or medicine.
