Algonquin Round Table? Those were Americans, notably including Dorothy Parker and probably Robert Benchley. I felt confident it was the Bloomsbury Group. Oops.
I was out of town and missed the show entirely. Thank goodness for this recap. Diandra was a lovely lady but somewhat of a sham champion. I thought the DDs were tough except for the 1865 one. At least I got a few stumpers. The Zach Taylor year; the “One of these Nights” band; the present tense verb; and the Jack Horner rhyme.
From what I can tell, a bit larger wager on that last DD likely would have cinched a runaway for Ilhana.
A propos the Cat Breeds: Here is a link to the Dec. 4, 2020 recap, where Nikki made a video with the twins, also starring our Russian boy Boris, to surprise me when I came home from the hospital. I cried when I first saw it.
P.S. If you watched that far, the dedication to my grandson Jax flew by fast. It said: “To Jax – for all your hard work and dedication! Despite the obstacles Jax has faced, he has worked so hard to progress his speech and I think this video speaks volumes.” Jax rarely talked in his first year and a half. He was found to have a hearing problem that required an operation. That was followed by speech therapy and now he talks up a storm, so a shoutout to his parents, the doctors and therapist for their work, too! (My part in that was finding out he could talk, copying simple sounds in some games we played)
I had NO idea on FJ. Never heard that once in my life. But, I find now that there is a Twitter thread full of gleeful people that knew Final because it was mentioned in a Taylor Swift song!
The only word I can use for Ilhana is “intense”. She was “dialed in” last night!
You have Diandra final score wrong. She ended up with $1.00 not bet $1.00.
Thanks, Kaye. I fixed it
You’re welcome.
Here we go again in FJ with these alternating slam dunks and triple stumpers.
That was a tough final as we got a triple stumper. We could get a Tuesday losing streak in the final.
