    That final DD about the Panama Canal belongs in the Teen Tournament.

    Lucky is not skillful. It definitely can abandon you at absolutely the wrong time. You can’t rely upon it

    Many thanks, as usual, to VJ, for the recap. Mine also was pre-empted by a special news report. But, I got FJ correct!

  3. Ryan McClelland says:

    tonight’s episode was interrupted for the rest of the game by a special news report on Trump’s indictment.

  4. Rick says:

    I went with Bern for FJ, but kudos to the champion for getting it right!

  5. Travis says:

    I guessed Amsterdam but thought it had something to do with the tulip fad.

    For the third day in a row, Suresh has won the game from second place. Unbelievable. Suresh is the comeback kid. He’s getting pretty lucky so far in his run. Allison dominated the game and I thought she was going to win this game but Suresh doubled late and in the end she didn’t get FJ! and not win. I think that Allison will probably get invited back for Second Chance.

    • Howard says:

      I didn’t see the show but read the whole recap. Allison’s performance was nothing, IMO, to merit an invitation to play again. Her pre-FJ score was decent but not monstrously high, and in the end she was no different than any leader who blows FJ and loses. There are scores of them every year. I don’t know what the second chance criteria are, but I’d think a routine loss by missing FJ doesn’t ensure anyone of a return trip.
