I totally bagged it on FJ. I had no idea.
Something about Mallory I like. It’s her style, I think.
Relatively low scoring affair, but, still some drama.
To her credit, I think Mayim was restrained on the clues in the Jewish category. I say this because she’s a very observant Jewish person, which one might intuit from her correct pronunciations. I got the TS in that one. I’ve said about myself, “I’m the most Jewish goy you’ll ever meet!* Otherwise, about 50% on the other TS.
Missed much of the show, but as a survivor of 1969 Woodstock, I knew half of FJ and got the 2nd half quickly. Also knew the Beatles tune used by WWF. Not a well-known song, really, although my daughter saw the movie named after that tune, and my youngest son knows as much about the Beatles as I do.
Danielle said WWF for $2,000 but out of time for 3 more clues.
Well I am Happy Mallory won. Still though I am not surprised no one else except Mallory knew Woodstock. A good fj clue I tell you. Just hope Mallory can keep winning more. At least all the daily doubles were nailed.
