2/3 on DD (no idea on the flower), but got FJ, despite never having seen even one episode.
Maybe it’s just my bias, but, I still don’t dig the “strategic” wagers in FJ. It’s a BIG leap to think someone else is going to miss. Or, like the guy tied yesterday. Now, he’ll just be another forgotten contestant (I didn’t see much “Second Chance-y” about him). If I ever get on, you won’t see a numerically bad wager from me, or something that you have to cogitate over for minutes on end after the fact.
Oh, and, one day late – they kept on the Alex mispronouncing Latin. “Koh-ghee-toe”, not “Kahj-i-toe”. All Cs and Gs in Latin are hard!
Reminds me of a joke. Rene Descartes is in a bar. Bartender says, “Hey Descartes, you want another beer?” Descartes stops for a minute, then says, “I don’t think so” – and, he disappears!
I’ve heard of Yellowjackets and that it has something to do with crash survivors, but I said “Lost.” I watched Melanie Lynskey for years on “2 1/2 Men,” but found out only recently she’s from New Zealand. (Watched “Lost” twice and decided it was too weird.)
Missed the first DD but got the other two, although I kind of stumbled over the Spielberg film, which I did see. Knew Seacrest’s alma mater and no other stumpers. He mentions it on “Wheel” often.
Scott’s FJ wager was brilliant, locking out Katy, and I’m glad he won. Ironically, if Jason had hit the final DD and finished with $27K, Scott would have wagered large and won a lot more money. Close games with high scores sometimes result in big payoffs.
I dont think I ever came across any articles or previews for Yellowjackets or Heavenly Creatures. The only thing I’ve watched on Paramount+ is Mobland and that was recently.
I 100% thought I had the final with “Lost”…. Never heard of Yellowjackets.
