Tough Final as we got a double stumper and the clues were mean to Kalee.
Steve made a wise bet since he couldn’t build up momentum in the main round. Jamie didn’t have much competition today since she was pretty dominant throughout the game. I just hope the next final will be easier for Jamie hopefully and her opponents.
Was Steve going for William Cullen Bryant in that daily double about the speaking category VJ?
Maybe so, Lou. Maybe he was thinking of William Jennings Bryan as the son. But the son was Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
I think Steve made a smart DD bet because he realize that time was running out and he wanted to play safe in order to stay in the game. But if he wagered everything and got it wrong, Jamie would been playing FJ against the house. We were this close to having only one player left competing in FJ!
