I got Final right, although I think they gave him too much precedence. I only knew it because, over 30 years ago, that’s what I got for my second spelling bee win. For many years, I’ve just gone to the .com when I need a thesaurus.
Overall, I’m ready for this tourney to be done. I, myself, liked better when there are wild cards. That adds more strategy.
Ditto on the Wild Cards, not to mention that this format drags the tournament out too long!
That first Mermaids answer should be Starbucks, not StarKist.
Actually, one of the contestants did say ‘Starbucks’ (although I came up with ‘Star Kist myself).
Thanks, Anne , I fixed that. Wow, it’s almost funny that I screwed that up– I have a Starbucks Doubleshot every morning and it’s really Chicken of the Sea that has the mermaid that I saw in my mind.
😄
Thought all would get the final; wasn’t anything like yesterday’s.
No, the prior FJ was a cinch compared to yesterday’s.
Hmmmm…..All I could come up in FJ was Dewey, but I knew that was dead on arrival. Actually, none of my family got it right.
Um, I think the second anagram response is WRONG.
I don’t know what I’m missing, Esme, but it looks right to me
The all gender streak is finally over. But I hope Caleb will forgive Maya from the rematch.
