Andrew was somewhat outmatched during the game, or perhaps he wasn’t at his best. Anyways, I performed somewhat below average in the game, and couldn’t score in FJ. Actually, I was never a fan of Dr. Dolittle, but that was me.
3/3 on DD, but missed FJ. I said “Tarzan”.
Andrew looked tired to me. Likewise, I hope Steven was just tight from being the game first time; I hope he is more charismatic. I also thought that Michelle might have an outside chance at Second Chance, not her miss in FJ likely rules her out.
Good game, Andrew finally met his match in Steven. FJ stumped me, I did get all 3 DDs, thought they were all fairly easy, triple stumpers unkind but should have known Tootoo’s career. I pointed out last week that Andrew probably should have lost one of those early games if his opponent had wagered properly. Ken J could have lost his first game if they’d ruled against him in FJ; he gave a generic response, something like Who is Jones? or similar. Just think how different his life would have been had he lost that game.
