    Missed most of the show watching hoops, and was shocked to see Nell so far down.
    I don’t have premium channels, but I knew the Final from my frequent forays down the Wikipedia rabbit hole.

  2. Jason says:

    Yeah, I found that to be dishearteningly surprising that Nell did so poorly. However, what a rookie mistake with “phrasing”! As I recall Alex saying so many years ago, the host can correct in the first round, but, in Double, not.

    And, I gotta be honest. Cape Canaveral? Really?

  3. Albert says:

    Regarding the Final 2 years ago, why was the murder rate so high?

    • VJ says:

      @Albert, I suppose I could make the obvious joke — it was a killer year — but I’m sure you can find out if you look up “murder rate 1980”

  4. Lou says:

    I was sure Nell would have a strong performance today, but still this week went off on the right foot with not that many triple stumpers. I am happy that the reversal helped Cam today. Maybe Cam can pick up a few more wins.

    It’s been a while since I last saw Succession but maybe I should go on eBay and find the complete series and rewatch it again. Also VJ, did you used to have HBO on television before? I also picked up Inspector Lewis from the library a few weeks ago as well

    • VJ says:

      Lou, I saw somewhere today that you can watch all three seasons of “Succession” on demand on HBO or HBO Max. Also, they are going to be coming out with a fourth season. Evidently, I watched a couple of episodes of this show back in 2018 and I totally forgot that I even watched it.

  5. Kevin Cheng says:

    It sure looked like we were going to have only 2 players left competing in FJ! but Nell got the last two correct answers and she got out of the hole just in time before the buzzer hit so she could play FJ! That was a close call at the end.
