I liked Ken’s DD bets. And luckily for him, he got all 3 right.
Maybe it’s just me, but I think Alex should have asked Jeff to be more specific when he said Marcos (sans Imelda). I know the category title was “I.M” (and Alex likes to say ‘We all know what that means.”), but still… After that reversal yesterday, and all the other weird things that have been accepted/pardoned on J! lately, why not?
Alex was probably still pouting over not being smart enough for the Prometheus Society. LOL. I actually get a kick out of it when he does that little brat thing.
Oh, and about that $800 clue in “Pay” (and other instances)—Alex sometimes seems to forget that the contestants are not as old as he is.
Idk. If he was a little more aggressive, he could’ve put the game away.
True, the DD’s were pretty easy (though I missed “sweetness & light). But sometimes the player doesn’t get so lucky. 🙂
I thought he should have asked him to be more specific, too, Cece. Perhaps he was making up for the day before when Jeff was credited for his “initials” response.
46/61 here.
VJ, You predicted it on the fj clue correctly. Congrats.
On the category “pay” I noticed that the younger generation was not really familiar with this term or this plan because it is accustomed to purchasing everything on credit. Just go to the store and yell “charge.” Our parents saved and then purchased what was needed
Thanks, Jacob, though that was more speculation than prediction and I actually felt bad for saying it watching Ken and Jeff play. Smart guys!
Yeah, Courtney was kinda young and maybe the guys don’t do much Xmas shopping, but I thought they would have at least heard of it. I have never put anything on lay-away myself owing to my colossal aversion to long lines!
