    Mihir and Nadege were their own worst enemies, especially in double. All Tim had to do was not say anything, and let them dig their holes. That’s interesting, as his runaway didn’t come into effect until very late. It looked, to me at least, that Mihir and Nadege were just racing to see who could catch the button, and thinking they could come up with the response on the fly. That strategy didn’t work out.

    And, the cherry on top was a really difficult final.

    Another preëmption? without redemption?
    Today & Tomorrow, truly a great sorrow.

    That was indeed a tough FJ, but perhaps the contestants will do better tomorrow.

  4. Louis Jin says:

    TS Eliot was one of my favorite poets.

    Perhaps Tim can break the string of leader curses here as he has a good chance of winning more games

    That was a tough final as we got a triple stumper. The poems weren’t nice to the contestants.
