Not much of a horse race, but Justin played well.
I felt good about FJ being plutonium. Oops. Never heard of promethium or thorium.
I thought for sure one of them would know Latin for “laying flat.” The “drop -ulation” clue was tougher but not that impossible.
I got FJ. What I found interesting is that Ken said he also said “thorium”. I thought the his had the correct response right there with the clue!
Also, Ben was almost mumbling. I thought it would go to the judges when his 5-syllable word sounded like 4 (I heard “polythesm”, not “polytheism”. Several times, I had to run it back, and put on the subtitles once.
It seemed like Emmett was going slowly. I was in fear that they would run out of time.
And we got a double stumper since today’s final was a tough one and it is also the third time this season where all the players wrote the same incorrect response.
It’s the third time in this tournament that we had dismissals making it three dismissals in the quarterfinals. Emmett’s daily double run-in meant that he wasn’t around for Final. But we will find out who is our last semifinalist tomorrow.
