Missed nearly all of the show, and probably just as well. Another day, another blowout. I crashed on the DDs/FJ. At least I knew the toast of roast, the novelist in the Emerson clue, and the SF museum.
Unusually, I was 3/3 on DD, and got FJ. One of the few TS I got was the state song “where the buffalo roam”!
So, Ben does well, but opponents are in the dust. They need better contestants.
It was another clear runaway for Ben as he ultimately left the other two contestants far behind. Unless Ben had bet the store in FJ and lost, his chances of losing the game was nil. Anyways, I performed above average in the game, but flubbed the FJ as I never heard of ‘The Blue Man Group’.
I had no idea for the final.. does anyone else think Ben kinda looks like Vladimir Lenin?
I think it’s the oval head, but the goatee really sells it.
