Considering the rageful ass Sinatra was, I believe the story.
I believe it’s true, Esme, that Frank had a bad temper. I never was a big fan of his (I loved Dino!) but Frank was in his 70s when that movie came out. I thought he had mellowed by then.
Missed the show again. Got FJ pretty much because I remembered the film taking place at a pizzeria. Topaz rhymes with amethyst? Don’t think so. 2/3 DDS were not too bad, maybe all 3 if you knew the middle DD’s author.
The Folies Bergere is a hyphenated club? Not when I was there in 1971. It would have been my answer, though.
The link to Shakespeare’s epitaph was taken down, but I looked it up.
Stumpers really tough, knew the French one with “hand” in it.
Re FJ bets: my issue is with Jen, not Chris. The leader is more or less compelled to assume 2nd place will bet it all. Therefore, $9601+ IMO should have been her wager. Chris has to assume she will get it wrong and she has bet big. He wagered $1601 which “should” have been enough to pass Father Steve if he doubled to $10800 & pass Jen if she bets large. As it played out, Chris’s “smart” wager was too low, but only because Jen under-wagered. Maybe she deduced he’d bet small, who knows?
Although I didn’t see the show, I don’t see how someone with $5400 who loses it all on FJ deserves a second chance. I did way better than that.
I guess it’s just me but, imo, Chris bet that Jen would be wrong and Steve would be right, when he should have bet that he would be right. Also, I was hoping Chris would notice Jen’s low DD bet of $600 when she had over $2K. Because of that, I fully expected a low bet from Jen in FJ!
He was just charismatic, at least to my viewing. Yikes, sounds like I opened an old wound!
I liked him very much, too. Was hoping he would win.
All 3 DDs were missed resulted our third skunking of the season. I hope William Weyser will say darn those daily doubles to the contestants today.
I did, and we still can’t catch a break this season, even though it’s early.
It’s games like this where I wish I could slip second place a note. “You have to beat the leaderš¤”
Too true, VJ. Just these nonsensical wagers make me wonder. I liked Father Steve – I wonder if he gets an invite for Second Chance.
Now, I don’t recall totally, but, Ken didn’t refer to David Sibley as Father, did he? David is “JV Catholic”, so, maybe that was it.
I got FJ wrong. I did say a Spike Lee film, but I said “Crooklyn”. Oh well!
