The show was pre-empted in my area so they could present fake football.
Thank you for the great recap!
Cinch final—IF you knew it.
I’m giving them a pass on not knowing the sibling band, even though the clue was chock full of their lyrics, or the Saturday night’s for fighting song. Because I’m pretty much stumped by the music categories from the past 3-4 decades.
I’m not 100% convinced it was necessary to give Amy Carter’s first name. They had just the one daughter, right? Judging seems to be inconsistent at times.
Not sure how true this is, but supposedly there was a newspaper headline many years ago that read, “Nixon says, ‘I Can’t Stand Pat’.”
And, as a coincidence, Amy’s son Hugo was on “Claim to Fame” this season!
I got it right, I’m happy to say!
I thought this game would be a barn burner, but, the first round was better than the second. Bummer. Although, I think it’s more than equitable that the “retreads” just get into another tournament, instead of into the ToC.
I saw a spate of articles about viewers objections to Ken’s “be more specific” on that First Ladies Clue involving Pat Nixon last week. The contestant Ken asked got flustered and said Richard Nixon. People thought just Nixon should have been okay because the answer was clearly referring to Nixon’s wife. I didn’t see anyone mention Nixon’s daughters, Julie and Tricia (although someone did point out that Pat Nixon’s real name was Thelma).
Today’s clue from White House Pets ought to clear it up: “This First Daughter brought her Siamese cat Misty Malarky Ying Yang to the White House”. Ken also asked for a first name. He got the mother, not the daughter.
That ought to clear it up
