You go boy
I didn’t get FJ. However, I did say, out loud, “That’s Holly Golightly”. Just couldn’t think of “Moon River”!
As per usual, I got about half of the TS.
I was begging Adriana not to bet a lot on that Daily Double.! She got that on the heels of 3 triple stumpers in the same category and I was just saying nooooooooooo!! Don’t put yourself in the hole!
Then I was begging Ryan to let her have that $400 clue but nooooooooooo!!
That was a pretty tough one. I knew it because way back in 1971, I attended the Sigma Delta Chi (national journalism society) convention in DC, and connected with a bunch of students from U of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. (i was a college senior and president of our chapter.)
Cinch final, at least if you’re older than the movie it was from.
A little surprising no one knew the Blue cavern’s name or the 2 Dutch cheeses.
That daily double was not kind to Adriana.
Well looks like Ryan is in good position to be in the toc, but Christine Welchel might be out if Ryan wins game 5. Audrey played well today.
This song was one of my favorites, especially the renditions of Moon River from musical legends like Andy Williams, Jerry Butler and so forth. Does anyone have a preference of which Moon River singers they like the best?
I really never liked this song that much so idk what my opinion is worth, but I’d surely nominate Danny Williams (not Andy) as the best male version and Connie Francis as the best female version
