Proper wording of a book title is crucial here, especially when it comes to a children’s books from dr seuss. Alex previously reminded players about this because this has been a common mistake that contestants have made in final jeopardy and in the main rounds.
I’ve been to new york many times but have never traveled through the Lincoln or the Holland tunnels, but the previous tunnel we went to was the Queens-Midtown Tunnel coming out of laguardia.
Good comeback today by Amanda.
I agree, but the judges blow hot and cold sometimes. They rule you wrong if you add or omit a syllable (rightly so), but look the other way when it comes to misspelling. If Matt had written “Oh, the Plaices You’ll Go” they might have allowed it. Matt will fret about the curse of the apostrophe for a long time to come.
I had always assumed the Holland Tunnel was named for the Netherlands. But given the other NYC-NJ tunnel is the Lincoln Tunnel, “Holland” would have been a good guess, as the Lincoln Tunnel is more obviously named for the president.
Man that contraction You’ll cost Matt a victory. But Amanda prevails again and whoever wins tomorrow’s game gets to relax for 2 weeks because the Tournament of Champions begins next Monday.
