Was it me, or did Ken seem to be really tough on Elizabeth?
I was 1/3 on DD, and missed FJ. I didn’t even have a clue.
I was glad to see Elizabeth rally and make it to FJ, especially since she nailed it. But she should have known Brian would have to bet large, so she should have wagered enough to beat him for 2nd place.
That one stumped me as well as the two guys.
Nikhil was fairly impressive, Brian hung in there. They left a number on the table I didn’t find very challenging: the middle DD; Methuselah’s grandson; the 4-letter proverb; French system of weight (I didn’t like Ken’s non-French pronunciation); equine shot of booze; SNL alum on “Barry”; and the 3-letter prompt. That’s a quick $7K, not counting the middle DD.
VJ: you juxtaposed the $600-800 sneak peek answers.
I’ve heard people Americanize the French system of weight before. I’ve never heard anyone say ‘pauper’ the way Ken said it!
Howard, it was the order of the clues I had mixed up. Fixed it.
