Thank you, Sam and Lou. That’s very much appreciated.
omigosh, I hated to see Robert go down. He will be remembered for twirling that Lego windmill (?) on his bowtie. 🤣🤣🤣 He was a very good player but those 2 DD’s did him in though I don’t blame him for going big on that last one with it being in the $800 box. So sad he didn’t pick up on the refs to children and grandchildren in that “Farewell Address” DD. One of her sobriquets was “Grandmother of Europe”.
It was quite a game anyway. Sara and Sameer were very sharp and it worked out well until FJ. Kudos to Sameer for the lone solve.
Yes, excellent game tonight. A few of the stumpers weren’t too tough (egotist, “A”uburn), and those 2 DDs were very gettable (Queen Vic and Rhine). For me, they were easier than the final. It helped to know she reigned from 1837 to 1901, otherwise I’d probably have been stumped.
But Rob certainly would have lost even if he’d nailed those DDs.
Permit me to echo the others–this site is a blessing, especially on those days I miss all or part of the show (I have no recorder).
Thank you, Howard. I agree that Robert would have lost anyway but it sure was something — first it looked like he was sailing to victory, then it looked liked Sara was a shoo-in, then boom! Sameer takes the crown! 😁
I am here to give A shout out to VJ as well. Also, Sarah’s bet was costly with the red dwarf but still it was pretty close. Could sameer actually get a streak going hopefully? Those daily doubles really didn’t help Rob at all.
Just wanted to send a huge shoutout of thanks to VJ and all who make this site possible. From all of us who love learning, much gratitude. Please keep up the good work.
