    not related to the current subject. I need to know final question on repeat show july 17 2021

    • VJ says:

      July 17th was Saturday and the game was a rerun that I didn’t watch so I don’t know what the final question was. You might be able to find out if you can remember one or more of the contestants

  2. Richard Corliss says:

    Robin Roberts was on the show before on the celebrity version.

  3. Howard says:

    What a terrific group tonight! Tyler is smarter than I ever was or will be, but I couldn’t help but chuckle when he associated Tennessee Williams with “Guys and Dolls,” or George Wallace with Mississippi. Josh, on the last DJ clue, mistakenly used “is” instead of “was,” which cost him a lock game. But he was able to perfectly coordinate his FJ wager; he would beat Tyler by $5 if both got it right, and edge Lois if she got it and both he and Tyler missed.

    I guessed “Gutenberg Bible” but thought it was too obvious and most likely wrong.

    I’ve given up trying to predict who will have a good run, because it’s dependent on the categories, competition, and who gets the DDs, but Josh has definite potential.

  4. Em says:

    Seems unnecessary to be so rude to Darius.

  5. Darius Doom Scott! says:

    Woohoo! Congrats to Josh Saak on his win!

    • VJ says:

      I combined the two comments for you, Darius

      • Lou says:

        Good game today by the players. Tyler must have confused Germany with spain with the don Quixote response.

        Hopefully Josh can make it through next week.

        • Darius Doom Scott! says:

          Sorry. Maybe I should just not comment on here again.

        • VJ says:

          I am not trying to be rude to you, Darius. I am just asking you to be considerate. I asked you nicely to curb the tendency to overdo it and I always hope that I don’t have to make a big deal out of it. In any event, this is the last time I will say anything about it. After this, I will just delete unnecessary comments.
