In one word – incredible. I, myself, got it wrong.
Still, even with Amy with one win in the bag, I’m still on board with Victoria.
Oh my, what a comeback by Amy. I really thought that late boo-boo on the Ghostbuster song would prevent her from staying within range.
FCC was my FJ guess, although NSA also made a strong showing in my mind. CIA wasn’t such a terrible guess, as it originated after WW2 out of the OSS. But I really thought Queen Vic would nail it.
The garment attached to the dress was the only stumper I knew for sure.
Ugh! I really took a bad guess for FJ, and picked the FCC. Anyways, it was another great game, and Amy eventually came back from behind to win the game.
That clue about Alexei is a good example of including an unnecessary image, imo. I doubt that none of them knew who he was but regardless, I think it would have been better if the clue was “The last holder of this title was Alexei Romanov”
Whereas I knew that picture, so, it helped me a scoche.
Just to be clear, Jason, my point was the picture was unnecessary and the result likely would have been the same if the clue said Alexei Romanov.
I don’t think anyone answered because they (a) didn’t know his title or (b) were unsure of the pronunciation.
