Yikes. 0/3 on DD, and missed FJ. I said “The Dakota”.
I thought Brendan was going to get dinged for his phrasing in the $1600 clue on the second category from the right. Maybe it was just the edit.
So, at least Andrew cleaned up. I thought this group wasn’t as sharp as yesterday.
Tough final. I remember Memphis-based Stax well (Otis Redding, to name just one). But that didn’t help. I said Graceland.
Got 1.5/3 DDs (half the middle one). Knew the Comerica team and the minstrel. Thought a few of the $1000/2000 clues were unusually easy. Especially the one in the Grecian category with “Republic” highlighted. (Pretty sure the Baseball stumper was $1000 value (recap shows it as $000).
I didn’t do very well in the game at all as the contestants were too fast with their responses. Anyways, that FJ was an absolute bummer as I wasn’t even aware of the song.
Man that final was tough… I guessed Sun Studios or Fords Theatre.
Well you were far closer than I was.
And we got a triple stumper since today’s final was tough.
You could certainly say that again.
