The inclusion of the word “ceramic” in the Final threw me off. I also thought it was Ghost. Without that word, I think I would have gotten it.
And I might be totally wrong, but I don’t recall a narrator in Titanic.
I believe Gloria Stuart narrated the story of her much younger self.
That was funny that Tenysa said “shrug” four times when she didn’t know the answer after Mayim read the 2nd DD clue in Double Jeopardy.
The women put up a brave fight in the first round but couldn’t sustain it. They wagered very meekly on the DDs, and missed them all.
FJ was a toughie. I thought “Ghost” would be right once Bryan’s answer was revealed. It fit the decade and the ceramics hint.
First DD from the Italian magazine was kinda obvious. Didn’t get the other 2 but should have. Stumpers also very tough. All I could get were the Swiss-French philosopher; HEL country; Springsteen’s town; “Wrecking Ball”/reaper;
The only stumpers I didn’t get were the 2-day Sultan in “Historic Shorts” and the speech before sentencing in “The Law”. At least on Law & Order, whenever the defendant does that, it’s not exactly a speech– s/he has to admit guilt so I couldn’t make that connection.
I knew the admission of guilt speech answer only because I watched some Sopranos clips on YouTube. Johnny Sacks admitted there is a mafia in his speech.
There wasn’t much to go on given the clues on FJ. Actually, I wonder if anybody had come up with the correct response.
We went from a triple solve to a triple stumper in FJ! In fact, it was the challengers that kept Bryan from finding all three Daily Doubles but they missed and that led to Bryan having a second consecutive runaway. Darn those daily doubles to both ladies.
That’s also our sixth skunking for the daily doubles this season and our third total bust for wagering clues this month.
Those Darn Daily Doubles were what made Bryan score his 2nd runaway.
