I got FJ wrong. I said “Manchester”, forgetting completely that Concord is the capital, and Manchester being only the largest city.
I think Jackson Jones will win the Tournament tomorrow because he has a lot of money in the first game of the finals.
The opening of the show gave us spoilers after the introductions.
Richard, Thanks for posting your observation. I thought I was imagining I saw that. If it happens again tomorrow night I will be highly upset. I’m surprised the editing crew didn’t catch that.
I didn’t see the opening of the show, what did I miss?
Rhonda, after Mayim finished talking in the beginning of the show, they showed the panel and the final scores were displayed. We don’t even watch that part so we didn’t see it but I just looked at my DVR recording and sure enough, there it was!
Thanks for telling me, VJ, I don’t watch that part either so I was curious, I’ll take a look at my recording now, too!
Rhonda, I’m just reading your post. Glad you’ll get to see it. I hope it doesn’t happen tonight. Such sloppy work. I’ll just turn my head away until the categories are announced by Mayim. Btw, there are comments all over the Internet about it. So I guess it was seen in all markets.
Thanks so much for your input, Jacob. Sloppy work indeed.
