Hannah is very impressive. She took no prisoners with all of those large wagers. Hope she sticks around a while. Marie Claude seemed lost until late in the game. I noticed during the interview that her English grammar was a bit shaky.
Took an instant guess on FJ and it was correct. It hurt a bit when no one knew the two baseball players, but those were tough. Sort of knew “The Book Thief” country from reading a movie review. Someone should have known VDT device and the Greek-inspired waves. FDR’s train car was gettable if you knew where he died in 1945.
Well, well! First, Hannah got away with one, with just “ventricular”. Mayim should have asked for more.
Final was easy for me. As per usual, got about half the TS correct. I didn’t know Pullman was motivated on a trip from Buffalo to Westfield – that’s just north of me!
And, recall the Warner clue from last week or the week before. What did I say here? The only Ringling brother I could name was John? And, BOOM, there he is this episode! I hope that helped y’all!
Curious–what was wrong with “ventricular?” Did she not add “fibrillation” (I thought she did)? I said “ventricle” which I guess was not acceptable.
I’d guess that just about anyone over, say, 35 or 40 (I’m way past that) surely would know the Ringling Bros Barnum & Bailey circus.
Pullman was an easy one, although I didn’t know it had anything to do with upstate NY. I was born and went to college there. Very long ago. I went back last fall for a reunion.
No, she only said “ventricular”, and Mayim added the “fibrillation”.
Perhaps Hannah thought only the “V” word was required because the category had “V” in quotations. To me, it seemed like Hannah was just correcting the first part of Warren’s “ventrial fibrillation.”
Whatever, imagine if Mayim rejected Hannah’s response and it was a TS, or worse — Marie-Claude put it together. I bet there’d be a lot of complaining about that.
Jason, I noticed the coincidence of your Ringling Bros. comment.
The clue asked for “V-fib”, so I thought it needed both. But, I totally get it, VJ. It’s more a style thing – I could imagine Alex prompting for more is all.
