Concur with Howard about Lee. She seemed to set Alison up time after time with ill thought out responses. Didn’t expect her to defend. She didn’t disappoint!
On the other hand, Alison looks like she might have the goods. Quick, smart, and def a face for TV! Also, no ring, so, I’ll bet you dollars to doughnuts that she’s being inundated with random dudes from all over! Maybe she’ll up her DD wagers.
Got Final from living in Hawai’i. However, I thought one of his ships was the Enterprise. (Recall that that was the shuttle used to train for landing.) But, a win’s a win! I’m happy that this show picked up the pace and quality from yesterday (even if Alison DID say “Bring it!”).
You got that right. There are nutsos out there who stalk the female contestants online. It’s happened to several who are in the (closed) FB contestants group on their personal pages. If I find Alison on FB, I’m going to invite her into the group, which is a safe haven and full of darn fascinating people.
Haha, well, that means Lee gets an invite, unlike me!
Oh, wait, it’s “contestants”. Still not me!
Lee was fortunate to win yesterday, and didn’t figure to contend today.
After quickly dismissing the early Europeans, I feebly came up with Cook, never thinking he was the one.
Old enough to remember the Sly Stone song when it was new, and way too old to know the Atlanta rapper.
“Before noon” clue wasn’t a killer.
Two impressive players today. One may get a 2nd chance someday.
Stand is still my favorite Sly Stone song, Howard.
Amazing talent.
Sly cowrote Bobby Freeman’s hit C’mon and Swim.
“Hot Fun” is mine, then “Everyday People.” I have a greatest hits album. I was at Woodstock and collapsed from lack of sleep the 2nd night, missing all the big acts. I awoke very briefly during Sly’s performance. About a year later, I went to one of their shows and they didn’t bother making it. Richie Havens opened, I got half my money back, and was a happy camper.
