Alison showed a few chinks in her armor yesterday and today. If they’re still taping a week’s worth of shows in a day, I wonder if the grind got to her. Tonight might have been her fourth taping that day, and there is little time in between.
FJ looked easy but was awfully tricky. I considered Arkansas but suspected it wouldn’t be an A state. But still didn’t come up with it. And for some reason I thought Sao Paolo was the 2nd city in Brazil but is more likely the most populous. I was a bit surprised to hear “Ashley” as acceptable.
@Howard, I was surprised about “Ashley” too, but I guess it was accepted since they only had Melanie for the wife’s name. It would have been worse if the clue said Melanie Hamilton and they then accepted just Ashley,
I got Final easily. At first, I said Delaware, but told myself that that could not be right. Then, I got it.
I recall that Alabama was created, along with Mississippi, from one vast Georgia.
The things that Alison knew, and didn’t know, was, literally, remarkable. I was downright quizzical at her miss on the DD.
I predict Marko to be a 1-day champ.
I attributed the lower TS count
.to the men. I don’t think Alison will make it out of the quarter finals in the TOC.
Nice list, VJ.
Thanks, Steve 😁
The clues were super easy tonight, and I did unusually well throughout the game. In fact, despite missing a few no brainers, I may have broken a record (or at least tied). That was, unfortunately, until I hit a roadblock with FJ..
Thanks to that evil geography clue, we got another triple stumper in the Final this week since today’s Final was a tough one.
You forgot to put down what Rob wrote in his FJ! response. Well either way all three players had the same incorrect response and the last time it happened was exactly three months ago from today. Alison had a great run and we’ll see her in the Tournament of Champions and we’ll see if Marko can earn a lot more than 3,799 tomorrow.
I didn’t forget, Kevin. That line got accidentally deleted somehow but I put it back
