I knew FJ from a combination of studying Latin in high school and being a Disney “true believer” (as I say, “we drank the Kool-Aid and had a second glass”)(and, the origin of that – Jonestown – it wasn’t “Kool-Aid”, but “Flav-R-Aid”, actually).
I was SO rooting for Alex. It’s a bit of a head scratcher that he was ripping it up in that category, then blanked. Ironically, I knew that one, because we have it on a ceramic plaque in our bathroom. My wife even brought it out when he got that wrong.
Mattea’s milquetoast run continues. What is the object of Jeopardy? I thought it was to win as much money as you can. She doesn’t seem to get that – which is boring (to me, at least). Big wins and big losses are exciting. That’s why James Holzhauer was so popular.
Maybe I’ve just been spoiled by actual super champions. One thing is for sure – she ain’t never going to be a chaser!
Ugh! That FJ was a bummer. Anyways, I came up with ‘A Touch Of Venus’.
All too young to have heard of the great Richie Havens.
true, Rhonda, but it’s interesting that they had that clue — I was just checking tomorrow’s Born and Died list and see that Havens died 9 years ago on 4/22/2013
Wow, VJ, talk about coincidences.
I had seen him perform in Central Park way back in the 70’s, Summer Stage concerts, I seem to recall tickets were $1.00!!
My favorite disney movie growing up. Still even though that daily double didn’t work for Alex he still played well. But i don’t really recall Sabrina. I thought mattea was referring to Sabrina the teenage witch. VJ I would appreciate it if you can help refresh my memory on Mattea’s response.
Just happy to see mattea win her 13th game. She has tied with Matt Jackson but has half of his total winnings. I will never forget how maleficent nearly tried to end auroras life in the movie.
Lou, Mattea was referring to the 1954 movie “Sabrina” starring Audrey Hepburn (who was also Eliza Doolittle, among many other famous roles). The Teenage Witch Sabrina was a TV series with Melissa Joan Hart (who was also Clarissa).
Thanks vj. Much appreciated. The legendary audrey Hepburn will always be a part of our memories forever.
