Update on the Geography Daily Double: Michael said “quahog” (pronounced KO-hog). See the update in the recap under the second DD.
Evidently, I misunderstood Ken’s “it is in Rhode Island remark.” I thought he was talking about a bay but as it turns out, quahogs are icons in Rhode Island.
It was somewhat quizzical to me when Ken went out of his way to say that Finn had a good poker face, when, for the second time in a row, he smiled (not just smirked) before his FI was revealed. Dude has an OBVIOUS tell, and it is not a good poker face. I don’t think Ken has “face blindness”.
Oh, and, I don’t know where else to put it: so, Ken is leaving “The Chase”, and, there is much propaganda about Mayim wanting the permanent job. I read this as Ken getting the perm job.
I majored in newspaper journalism, but didn’t think the final answer was that well-known.
Surprised all 3 got it. More surprised no one knew who cleans your teeth, the jeweler’s glass, or the famous Idol idol. But a good group overall tonight.
Thanks for saying that, Howard, I had never heard of that answer before myself.
Jeopardy! is again preëmpted by the NCAA, as are many others, I’m sure.
Krayhan bay does not exist as far as I checked, there is a bay called Karehana bay in Pimmerton somewhere in Porirua.. Maybe this is what Michael was trying to say VJ. As far as narragansett bay, I’ve been there a couple of times with my family getting crabs during the summer months. But still glad to see everyone getting final right to wrap up the week. And Congrats to Finn on winning again.
