I thought the boards for the most part were pretty easy, although the stumpers were not. Only ones I knew were the C-apology and Melinda Dillon. I should have gotten the Curtis Mayfield movie. Got 2/3 DDs. FJ was torture, surprised anyone got it.
Neilesh sure found his sea legs during Friday’s game and impressed today. Let’s see if he runs the table this week. Curious to see what Jason has to say after Friday’s prediction.
We must have been writing at the same time!
We were indeed.
Well, looks like my concern of Neilesh being a “cooler” was premature (thank heavens).
I was 2/3 on DD, but missed Final. In fact, I didn’t even have a clue!
I didn’t get the FJ, but then again, I likely wouldn’t have been a fan of D.H. Lawrence’s works. Anyways, it was another great game, and it’s only too bad that Season 40 ends this week Friday. Drat!
Had the Final Jeopardy clue been : The word “lovers” appears..,
Everyone would have answered correctly.
That final answer was very misleading, and somewhat unfair
There are 4 games left of the season. The winner of Friday’s game gets to relax for the summer and come back in September to begin Season 41 as the defending champion.
