Yeah, a very popular opera in FJ indeed, and it was only too bad that I missed it.
Brilliant FJ wagering by Steve. He knew how much Robert had to bet and made his accordingly.
I figured out the answer but guessed that only one player at most would get it. “Opera” and “South” were what led me to it. Didn’t know what state it took place in, though.
Knew the Naked Lunch author and the Sharon Tate movie.
I got the Pope TS, the two in the writer category and the man from Tennessee. Funny, I just deleted that Sharon Tate movie from my DVR last month and I didn’t get it because I was thinking of the real Sharon Tate and not Margot Robbie.
live by the math (first game), die by the math (this game)
Robert got all the daily doubles but 1 wrong daily double in the 1st round, and when Robert sees the wrong response in Final Jeopardy, he’s out of the game in 2nd place, and his score is less than Steve’s when he gets the right response.
