We had a different show here again, VJ. It was a Tournament of Champions game. The FJ category was Ancient History: A messenger was sent from Athens to Sparta just before this 490 B.C. battle. Very odd.
I’m very sorry about that Rhonda! I think you had the game that aired on 11/04/19.
Yes, very odd indeed, Rhonda. Last week, it was the 11/1/19 game they were showing you guys. Now they showed the very next game of that season (11/4/19, as Darius mentioned) If this trend continues, they’ll be showing the 11/5/19 game next Monday (the second quarter-final game of the 2019 ToC). Yikes!
I will be sure to keep you posted, VJ! We were thinking it was just a one time mistake, so much for our logic lol.
Congrats to Ben for his win! Also, will Matt Amodio sweep another week when Season 38 begins? We will have to see. For now though, we shall finish the repeats.
