Brylcreme, a little dab’ll do ya
Brylcreme, you look so debonair
Brylcreme, the gals’ll all pursue ya
They love to get their fingers in your hair
Chili is usually spelled with an I at the end except in Spanish “Chile” or the Country.
@Anne, that spelling “chile” in the $1000 clue in the State License Plates category is correct (This state’s “Chile Capital of the World” plate won America’s Best License Plate Award for 2017) — evidently they are referring to chile peppers
On another note, I was surprised to learn that Brylcreem was still around yesterday. When I was growing up, they had this jingle
Brylcreem, a little dab’ll do you
Take more, only if you dare
But watch out! The girls will all pursue you
They’ll love to run their fingers through your hair

The FJ stumped me, but I did nail all 3 DDs.
Jen’s FJ wager was a bit strange. I wonder if she miscalculated the amount she needed to win ($5401 if she got it right and if Nikole bet all $16K), because she bet $15401. As it played out, a wrong answer with $15401 would have cost her the win, whereas $5401 would not have, even if Nikole had answered correctly and totaled $20K. But all of her DD wagers were pretty daring.
Congrats Jen!
Job well done jen. She nailed all the daily doubles today. Congrats to her and Ellen.on getting final right. I think Jen definitely could be our next multi day champion. Furthermore amazing Grace was not a bad guess but rock of ages will always be in my heart forever. Keep the winnings going Jen.
Yes! A BIG PAY-DAY!
