I got 2/3 DD and FJ correct. My take on final was, “what else could it be”? However, I also had a collection of their tales that I got early in the days of Amazon (the book is now, unfortunately, lost), and I did read most of them.
I also got, as usual, about half the TS.
Poor Zoe was up and down more than a department store elevator. Too many careless answers. I didn’t do well at all, got just 1 DD and the fly fishing rhyme.
I did better than average in the game, but flubbed the FJ. Well, what can I say? I mean, I’ve read some of those tales when I was a kid, but yet drew a blank in FJ. Anyways, Zoe was pretty sharp at times, and I thought that she just might come up on top. In any case, it was a great game.
Just like on Friday, the champion was in the lead but was the only player to not come up with the correct response but the challengers did and today it happened again with returning champ Cat who couldn’t come up with anything but a lovely message while the challengers were correct in Final.
