    David, for talking betting strategy, certainly didn’t follow it. That made his interview blurb seem kinda empty.

    I was hoping for Ollie. Oh well!

    Not sure what to make of this group. Their scores were good, but David was extremely indecisive choosing his meek DD wagers and picking the next clue. I had to chuckle at the thought of a 300-foot shot put toss. There was really only one legit answer to that one.

    A rare occasion when I thought all 3 DDs and FJ were easy. “Ancient” was practically a giveaway, and I thought Brit Ollie would know FJ for sure.

    Thought one of them would know the leper colony island. The “wagon is a-comin'” hint went right over their heads. (I saw that musical a year ago on Broadway, but saw the movie 60 years ago. But knew the arena name anyway, as any card-carrying sports nut would!)

      Yeah, I said something about 3 people never seeing that musical at the time. “(Ya Got) Trouble” is my favorite song.

        I have it on a Broadway CD which got transferred onto my iPod. That was the role of a lifetime for Robert Preston, with a capital P. Hugh Jackman was excellent, though, last year.
