When I watched Adam performing on Jeopardy!, I found out that voice sounds a lot like David Muir on ABC.
We didn’t seem to get Jeopardy/Wheel at all because of debate coverage.
FJ stumped me, as did 2/3 DDs (got the time one). Blew the Noel Coward play by putting an “s” at the end. The Swedish playwright wasn’t that tough, neither was the 4-consonant word for laughing. According to the recap, they nailed all 5 of the Mafia clues; I’d have guessed that a couple might have been stumpers. Only one I didn’t know was the film title.
I got FJ. I recalled my med school classmate, who is a Reform Jew. He also, then, at least, was outspoken, while not being a loudmouth. He told me of Magen David Adom, and Ken deftly avoided mentioning that. I said “cross and crescent”, so, I hope they would have taken it!
2/3 on DD, but only about 1/3 on TS. I said the same thing as Adam, 0800.
I think Adam had too many snap answers. Maybe a little bit of reflection before responding may have helped. Nonetheless, congrats to Will!
I’m pretty sure just ‘cross and crescent’ would have been fine, Jason. To the best of my recollection, the clue has to have the word ‘colorful’ in the clue or category for a color to be required
A good game overall, ;but things unfortunately didn’t work out well for Adam. As for me, I did a little above average, but the FJ was a toughie.
I liked Mary Catherine’s squirrel story.
Our first epic fail of wagering clues of the new season since Adam missed all 3 DDs resulted our first skunking of the season plus a tough final resulted a triple stumper. I’m sure William Weyser will say darn those daily doubles to Adam.
I did. Not only that, on the last clue in Double Jeopardy!, Mary Catherine realized at the end that she needed to guess, in order to have a shot against Will. She took a stab. Didn’t get it. Adam didn’t recognize it. You have to be aware of your situation and take a stab. If you get it right, you might as wager everything in FJ! and hope that Will has bad luck. If you get it wrong, the game is over.
First triple stumper of the new season. Only the 2nd episode of Season 41 and we already have our first triple stumper. Mary Catherine did a smart thing to take a stab on the last clue to break Will’s runaway and it didn’t work out.
First runaway too
Not only that, but we also got our first game of the new season where none of the daily doubles were nailed.
