    40th edition in 2026 fits with starting in 1987; have to add one to the difference in years to get the count.

    The challengers certainly burst out of the starting blocks when the starting gun went off, especially Sam. Tatiana made a great run in DJ then botched 3 straight clues before rebounding again. Caleb’s juxtaposition of the Bounty mate could have been fatal if he hadn’t been locked out of FJ and had gotten Final correct. I felt confident that FJ answer was farm Aid………ooops.

    I got the first DD, thought the 2nd might be Stuart or Windsor (not), and Sam nailed the 3rd before I could try to unscramble it. I got them on a few clues. Surely someone should have known the DC college for the deaf; the German city; the Antarctica sea; and the ballet move. Got a few of the $1000/2000 clues too. My MIL claimed to have a familial connection to Prince Phillip.

      I’m kinda bummed that Caleb lost, but. Sam was beating him on the buzzer right and left.

      Sam really won that game and seems to have the stuff to go on a run of his own.

    Caleb finished his run as a 12 day champion like Adam Remsen but he had the highest 12 day total than Adam so Caleb will be seeded as #3 in the 2027 TOC exhibition game. Sam Ryan is the latest giant killer and we’ll see what he does tomorrow. Only 4 more games left this season.
