VJ, the link that you provided didn’t work for the October 17, 2022 game.recap.
Thanks, Rick. I fixed it
Howard, we can keep track of who didn’t get FJ right in their original game ourselves because I linked to those games.
In this one, it was Aaron. So it’s 1 out of 3 today.
Thanks, that’s a pretty good indicator. I’m curious to know how Aaron fared overall that got him a return engagement.
I skipped this tournament originally, probably to watch baseball playoffs. So these are all new episodes for me.
Pretty good group tonight, although IMO they left way too much $$ on the table. More on that momentarily. Jessica stood like a statue for a while, then came on like gangbusters. Impressive.
I’m definitely old enough to have lived through all of Tricky Dick’s “checkered” political career. All his henchmen paid the price and he got a “get out of jail free” card.
The missed DDs, first and third, were not terribly difficult. Guessed the 1940s bandleader. Knew the Wild West bandit/Charleston Chief (my aunt was a crowd extra in that latter film); REPLAYS anagram; and the Nobel prize category (how did no one go for that once a wrong answer was given?) involving proteins/acids.
