    Wouldn’t oratory, as well as elocution, be an acceptable 4 syllable word?

    • VJ says:

      I think the etymology dictionary agrees with you — “formal public speaking, the art of eloquence” (LINK).

      I realize the word orator is right in the clue — Orators know Latin for “to speak” gives us this word for the art of public speaking

      but since I’m not getting whatever nuance there may be, I would accept oratory 🙂

  2. VJ says:

    NJ.com has Jason’s win covered already. He teaches in Union, NJ. Exit 141 on the Garden State Parkway. LOL. (I used to live there)

  3. jacob ska says:

    At least Greg & Jason got half of the fj clue. Don’t know what Nicole was thinking because I thought she played a good game imo until fj.

    I would like to have seen the clue writers inquire about who was president at the beginning of WWII and who was president when it ended.

    • VJ says:

      I thought it was a bit much for them to write down. First they had to get past the first thought for the beginning (PH) to the Arizona, then think of the Mighty Mo for the end AND write all that down!

    40/61

  5. TR says:

    And this is why I only said it was ‘tempting’ to predict a triple solve. Wow. I’ve been burned before but this one would’ve left scars.

    Nicole was in a tough spot. I personally wouldn’t have felt confident in a wild card spot with only 10k, but now she’s really a longshot. Lauren’s small wager yesterday might not be as costly as I thought.

  6. rhonda says:

    Was it truly necessary to pre-empt the first 8 questions for a “breaking news” report here about the Indiana primary?? Absurd, I say!!!!

    • TR says:

      It’s as if news organizations have forgotten that they can just put a crawl at the bottom of the screen for non-essential stuff, and point to their website for more details. There was no good reason for them to break in just to say “Hi! Trump won, Hillary’s leading…bye!”

      • VJ says:

        Wow, I so wish they would do that. There are so many channels dedicated to the news and live reports online, interruptions are just unnecessary,

    • VJ says:

      @Rhonda, I added the first 8 clues you missed to on Page 2, though two of them are already in the recap — the J! round DD and the What’s for Lunch clue

    • jacob ska says:

      @Rhonda, absurd is correct. You know what channel I watched the first few minutes at 7:30. However, I still didn’t appreciate the interruption on ABC at 7:00.

  7. Richard Corliss says:

    Greg is out.

  8. VJ says:

    Ha ha! I really laughed out loud at that $200 What’s for Lunch clue. I got it because my grandparents used to eat them for breakfast every day. That was the first time in my life I ever heard them called a delicacy.

    Not gonna give the answer because the clue and image are on Page 2 now, for anyone who missed the game.

    • jacob ska says:

      @vj, I couldn’t stop laughing because I’ve never heard them referred to as delicacies either. lol

    • Maori says:

      All I can say is that your grandparents are health conscious.

      • VJ says:

        they were and it paid off – Grandpa lived to 93, Nanny 96. She outlived her son (my father)
