    I reiterate that I got this, expressly because, who else could it be? Only “The man’s man”! I am happy, though, I don’t recall (save one player) who gets through, and who doesn’t!

    @Howard, all of these Second Chance contestants got FJ! wrong in their original games. Sadie missed it with the “Harriet Tubma” response that cost her the game and got a bunch of folks up in arms

    • VJ says:

      Last week, the ratio of players who got FJ! wrong in their original game was 5 out of 9. Continuing from there, it’s now 8 out of 12.
