As is becoming common, I’ll concur with Howard. It was a notably low scoring game, to which Ryan seems to be akin, but, at least he’s engaging about it. But, a $12,800 runaway? That doesn’t look good for the challengers.
Again, I got about half of the TS. I don’t know if I would call FJ “easy” (not saying anyone did, I’m just saying), but, I did get it. Wasn’t confident, though.
Lame game. Way too many missed answers and stumpers. A few “gimmes” among them, such as Sonora’s country, very south Florida city, Miller beer.
I really miss mattea roach.
I really don’t. She was as charismatic as watching paint dry (notwithstanding my mixed metaphor).
Happy to see Kris and Ryan getting final. Good game by all the players.
