I should have known the Final. My parents were avid readers and read many best-sellers, including that one, I’m sure. I saw two versions of the movie but never read the book. Nice recovery by Adriana to nail that one. Aaron was about 11 years off with his guess. That one I did read.
Thought all 3 DDs were pretty easy. Josh, who recovered nicely, blew the first one, which ultimately made his score $5600 less. Semi-shocked no one knew Victor Emmanuel’s country. Totally shocked “carbonate” was a triple stumper. The Senate rule was tough but hardly impossible, and after two wrong guesses, the third player should have nailed the motorcycle maker.
Adriana had an unusual amount of wrong answers, including the Emma Stone boo-boo, but it didn’t matter in the long run.
Again, concur. The carbonate – really?? And the Gold Wing?
I got Victor Emmanuel. Was 3/3 on DD, but missed Final.
VJ, I think the Emotions TS is 2 grand, not 12.
@Jason, I checked the recording and, in one of those rare instances when I’m right, it’s $1,200 🤣
Now it’s showing as $12000!
That must be what made Jason think is was 2000
Don’t be too hard on yourself, VJ. You do a fine job. It’s just might seem that way to you because more people pick out little mistakes than acknowledging the great recaps now and then. I often learn a lot from the websites you direct us to.
Thanks, Steve, but I don’t feel too bad. Compliments and corrections are both appreciated, esp. now. My eyesight is pretty bad and I’m afraid it’s going to get worse before it gets better. I’ll be having a procedure on my right eye in August (after this season ends). Then, I hope I’ll be able to see a lot better when Season 41 rolls around.
I did pretty well in the game, but didn’t get the FJ. Then again, why would anyone want to read such a book?
Adriana, you go girl!
Adriana is the first player to win 9 games since Ben Chan did last year. She will try to become the 17th player to win 10 games tomorrow.
