    Really tough boards tonight, and erratic play as a result. I did get “Shallow” and knew 5 of the stumpers. No one could get any traction tonight.

I am not surprised by the amount of triple stumpers since the college championship game. How many of the literary clues did the players get? Lots of tough material today.

      It was also very cute when Ben tried to ring in twice on the last clue in Double Jeopardy! But, holy smokes, Ben bet everything he had on his Daily Doubles. I was really not expecting that tiny bet from him in FJ!
