1/3 on DD, and missed FJ. Yuck!
I thought I did better than I actually did on TS.
Again, it (unnaturally) bugs me when people make $X500 wagers.
Jacob seems quite affable. I hope he can get a couple wins in, and get himself a bit of coin!
Jacob’s got a great voice.
Competitive game, with a very difficult Final, but the first and 3rd DDs were VERY knowable.
I thought a few of the stumpers were not that challenging: money to a musician; “F” stroke of luck; Mitty’s author; Tagus connection.
Not sure why Jacob wagered $4200. $3401 would have been enough to win if he and Sunny hit FJ and she went all-in, and of course they had to hope Dan missed Final and bet large, which he obligingly did.
Well, it was another great game, and I performed about average. Yeah, an American home so famous that no one got the FJ right (including myself). With a 250 room home like that, I couldn’t even begin to imagine the property tax (or rental fee if you prefer) on that property. Of course,, I’m sure that any of the robber barons could easily afford it. In any case, all I could come up with was Camp David. What goes on here? The last two FJs were a cinch, and then we were dealt a losing hand.
All 3 DDs were missed resulted a shutout and a triple stumper in the final resulted our tenth epic fail on wagering clues.
Dan Hopkins, darn those Daily Doubles!
Wow, nevermind the FJ! fail, I think Dan will be kicking himself over those DDs for a while. He must have been expecting material that was more difficult and overlooked the obvious.
As for the Tiger DD, I immediately heard the voice of George Sanders. lol
