OH my, I missed first 5 minutes but what a performance by the challengers. They were super smart and prevented Steven from finding the last 2 DDs. I guessed the first and blanked on the 2nd–couldn’t get malaise out of my mind. Thought Little Rock for Final. Still dazed by that all-in wager by Vickie on the DD, even after her interview tale about the poker bets. A very worthy champion.
Knew the whistling actress and the newspaper publisher, also got the Matthau/Burns/trans boy clue. Those song lyrics of the aughts were a mystery to me, except for the $800 one.
Erik is an actor who played Garrett on Community with Joel McHale and Ken Jeong
1/3 on DD and missed FJ. I mean, I had no idea that Hope was known for watermelons!
I would guess, in a word, Steven looked tired.
