Good game, nice comeback by Suzanne from way behind. Didn’t hurt her cause being from NYC and hitting some of those Broadway questions. Emmett made a foolish wager on the last DD of $2K when he should have bet a smaller amount. It’s often critical to retain the lead after DJ, and he’d have lost had Jason hit FJ.
Had a hunch “Forbidden Palace” response would ultimately be allowed.
“Massachusetts” led me to “Mayflower Compact” in FJ and didn’t give it any more thought.
Surprised no one knew the man at Worms; climbing/salt/star; or the Canadian gold region.
I also came up with the 4-syllable word derived from Latin for leaf, but that was a toughie.
In 1971 I was at that London park (the stumper one) at Speaker’s Corner, watching an old man rant about the evils of sex. It was quite amusing.
Also visited Wren’s magnum opus during that trip. Evidently Emmett was unfamiliar with that cathedral. It’s quite famous.
Well Emmett has won again despite the daily doubles not helping. Some of the clues in double jeopardy were challenging.
It’s ridiculous that Emmett’s scribble of “Proclamation” was deemed correct but Thomas Hurley’s tiny misspelling was incorrect. Pure inconsistency on the part of the judges.
I came up with the U.S. Constitution, but the FJ was a tough one tonight to be sure.
I was surprised that Emmett’s final Jeopardy response was accepted. “Proclamation” was beyond illegible.
No, Emmett clearly referred to the “Emancipation Proclamation”. I mean, that was the way I read it.
Did Emmett really think Wren designed tge SHARD? Yikes.
