I can only ascribe it to nerves, when someone misses something with which they are intimately associated. Jin-Soo, not exactly, but, like the lawyer in the recent past who didn’t get “sidebar”, or, the other player a few days ago didn’t get Jerry Springer, despite having been in the audience for a taping!
I always chuckled at the idea of Archimedes running down the street, naked, yelling “I have found it!”. What, exactly, did a naked guy find? But, in any case, that lead me to getting FJ correct.
And thank heavens, VJ, that someone isn’t doing a rerun rundown of what happened in the game, after you did a very good write up!
Last night’s controversial wagering went semi-viral on the interweb.
I give Emily credit for staying within range of a fairly quick and dominant player, even though she flubbed that easy DD near the end. that cost her a lead.
Figured out the FJ halfway through. Didn’t hurt to have lived in California for over 10 years once.
Some of those stumpers were quite tricky, but I came up with Grant-Kelly movie; $1 bill; Plaza Suite author; Oscar winner who went to Broadway; Antarctic station name; L word for slice/tear.
Also the capital Truman visited. Not a lot of countries have a governor-general and a PM.
The exact same thing happened in one of Mattea’s early games. She got FJ wrong, a player behind got it correct, yet made an idiotic wager, and didn’t win, despite the fact she could have, had she wagered correctly.
I am happy for Emily winning final today. Good game by the players. I loved that eureka show on disney junior.
That was a bummer for Jin-Soo. He said during the chat that he grew up in California
Eureka! is also a show on Disney Junior featuring prehistoric times.
