Adriana wrote her FJ response quickly, so I knew it was all over at that point.
“Spoke” was a hint, but I was trying to think of a bridge designer.
The guys were formidable opponents. Connor had a quiet start but came on strong in the music category. Enzo’s glum, unsmiling demeanor immediately made me recall Matt Jackson, also an excellent player. IDK how he missed that first DD; the eclipse probably occurred right before the taping. He’s a 2nc chancer for sure, if that’s a thing again. I could do without his “I’ll do” that prefaced every clue selection.
Those first two switcheroos were easy, but it takes a really quick mind sometimes to deduce that type of clue. Adriana did get the hang of it after that. I remember how incredibly fast Ken was one time in immediately figuring out combinations of Roman numerals.
@Howard, the video of Ken running the Roman Numerals category is on this weekly recap
The ghost of Julius Caesar and I thank you. I came up with a couple of them fairly quickly.
Your welcome, Howard.
The ghost of Julius Caesar will always remind me of Perry White: “Great Caesar’s ghost!”
This was a really good game to watch. Adriana is so calm in competing on Jeopardy. Another thing I like about her is that she doesn’t touch categories in which she does not feel comfortable. I may be wrong but she didn’t attempt to respond in the “numerically named musicians & bands” category. Watching her stand there and let her opponents have that category was priceless imo. Instead of guessing wildly, like some contestants, she just goes with what she knows which is the majority of the board. 🤣 I can’t believe I didn’t zero in the word “spoke” in the fj clue which screamed “wheel” which led to Ferris. Duh! Let’s just say I had an off day. 🤔
It’s a shame that Ferris died (age 37) just 3 years after the Chicago Expo and never got to see his creation duplicated all over the world.
VJ, That factoid I did remember. I simply had a brain fog on the fj clue. Just couldn’t come up with it in 30 seconds. So it goes. 😅
Yikes. 1/3 on DD, and got FJ wrong. I said “Bartholdi”, mostly because Nature this evening talked about La Tour Eiffel, and the Statue of Liberty, among other things. Oh well!
I got a little more than half of the TS.
I’m happy that Adriana won again. Enzo didn’t strike me as that charismatic.
Hmmm………I didn’t do all that well in the game, and I didn’t have a clue about the correct response for FJ. Perhaps if I was around during that era, it would have been a cinch.
Adriana, you rock!!!!
33,000 is Adriana’s highest payday of her run. She is now ranked #16 in the top 20 winnings. She also tied Arthur Chu and Jonathan Fisher with 11 wins.
