Oh, and, Madame Bovary? Really?
Although, where was it, Jeopardy! or Masters, where, recently, the nominal Lover was identified in a clue? That made it fresh in my mind.
That was the third clue on that D.H. Lawrence novel this season and the second one to have the word “gamekeeper” in it. Gamekeeper is the tipoff for this novel (or Mellors if they name him).
Hannah is no great shakes at literature and I wonder how that will affect her chances in the ToC. That doesn’t seem to matter much in these regular games so far, even though they regularly have lit categories, as opposed to Arthur Chu’s run where Sports was his weakness and they rarely had any sports clues!
GO, HANNAH!!!!!!! WHOO!!!!!!
I went with Brazil.
Got less than half the TS correct. However, my errors were largely in line with Hannah, like the substance used to treat syphilis. I also said mercury.
Brad seemed to be his own worst enemy today.
Out of desperation, I settled with Yugoslavia for FJ, but I knew that wasn’t going to gain any traction.
I thought the final was either between Australia, Brazil, or India.
That was a tough final as we got a double stumper.
