    My wife, who is usually disinterested in J!, got this FJ easily. Me, not so much (i.e., at all).

    I did chuckle at Sarah giving the same, incorrect response twice in a row!

  2. Rick says:

    Another tough FJ to be sure, and I couldn’t even wager a guess.

  3. Ismael Gomez says:

    That was a tough final as we got a triple stumper.

    I will have to add the outlander book to my bucket list later. Good players today and a good game by everyone.

    VJ, Thank you for reinforcing what Mayim Bialik said at the end of today’s game that Megan won for the 2nd time by $2. Two must be her lucky number. 🤔 We’ll see what tomorrow brings. Fascinating. Also, glad I wasn’t the only one who had no idea on today’s fj. Way out of my wheelhouse. Yikes.
