Mustafa, after that generous late reversal, totally blew it. $4601 was the smart wager. It totally locked out Geraldine, and the only way he’d win was for Josh to miss and bet the likely $12601. He didn’t even have to get FJ right. As for Geraldine, she rushed her response to the easy Mortality DD, and probably could have come out a champion.
Barrymore came to mind for Final and I gave it no further thought. The “minus” part of the first DD threw me off. Third DD was easy. Knew the Johnny stumper but not from the Salami clue, just the Dead & Co portion. The Trygve Lie stumper was gettable if you saw the “junior” and associated it with NYC.
I was 2/3 on DD, and got FJ. I’m my mind, while waiting for the show to come back from commercial, I thought “Barrymore” (with Ethel, “the Great Profile”, and the ilk), but, when the clue came up, knew that wasn’t it. Took a moment, but got the result. I recalled the parents had been part of a cult.
It’s too bad on that DD miss by Geraldine. Also, too smart for her own good, in re: bear. But, being a research librarian, the .bf extension was easy peasy for her!
Well, I started out slow in the game, but began picking up steam. Actually, I performed a tad above average, but missed the FJ. IMHO, that was one tough FJ.
