The Super Bowl Ads category about FedEx from the Tom Hanks movie Cast Away. The bad news is that Ken didn’t mention the wrong answer in his 75th game.
Pretty good game, married only by Max’s miss on that killer DD. As an Oregonian, I hang my head in shame by not knowing Final. I even have a photo of me at the monument to L&C in Seaside. Gadsden was all I could come up with. Missed the stumpers, too, although there weren’t very many. I thought the first round clues were mostly easy across the board, including that cupcake of a DD. The 2nd DD was pretty gettable; I don’t see any info in the recap about who selected it and the wager, etc. I did know the FJ from 2 years ago that all the players missed, but probably only because I recalled it from that show.
Just fixed that , Howard.
Well, it was another incredible game, and Jamie finished another game with a virtual insurmountable runaway. As for me, I performed somewhat below average in the game with the FJ being an obvious no brainer.
Just a thought, not a criticism — I know the conventional wisdom is to bet big when you get a DD and you’re far behind the lead. The other way to look at it is you’re handing the lead a runaway if you’re wrong. So there’s no way I’d bet big on a DD in a category I don’t know a lot about.
I’d rather take my chances that the leader would mess up a few times for fear of me catching up.
