Ugh – 5 times did I say right to the TV, “I don’t care!”. Mattea’s blathering really irked me this evening. I will give her credit for being good on the button. But, I wonder if the last clue was not revealed, in part, to her extraneous bloviation.
And, FJ was a gimme.
Not sure which was more of a surprise: the 3-way stumper on the Hodgkin’s clue, which was a dead giveaway; or that only 2 of the players got the softball of a FJ.
The Agatha Christie courtroom drama that no one knew is one of my all-time favorite movies. I was watching it on TV for the first time, and my mom blurted out a critical fact about the Tyrone Power character that nearly spoiled the plot twist. Charles Laughton and real-life wife Elsa Lanchester were just delightful. Probably the only movie I’ve ever seen with those two actors or with Marlene Dietrich.
Go, Mattea!!! WHOO!!!!
Hmmmm………Yesterday’s FJ was something to be desired as the clue was way off target, and yet this FJ was a no brainer.
Very few triple stumpers today. All the players did well! A double solve in final is good. Now mattea is ahead of Zach Newkirk who also had 6 wins.
