A tough final as we got another triple stumper this week..
Two very strong challengers kept the tough champ at bay. Maddie wagered brilliantly. I wish more second-placers would do that. Alex had little choice other than to bet $12K. Greta Garbo was all I could muster.
Never saw the Roy family show, but figured out the 2-word dynamic from having read of their internecine struggles. Surprised she didn’t get it; the younger players seem to know all the cable shows I’ve barely heard of at best.
Knew Quinn’s FIL/director; & the multi-language anthem.
Way back in the day, my alma mater would play “Bill & Mary” in football and obliterate them. Second American college, I believe, after Hahvid.
Smart FJ wager by David. He knew Alex more or less had to bet $11801+ and get it wrong, and had to hope Maddie also bet large and missed FJ. As it played out, Maddie’s sage wager kept David from a 4th win since they all missed Final.
Another great game indeed, but David unfortunately wasn’t at his best tonight. As for FJ, one of us went for Mae West, but I settled for Greta Garbo.
I said (and said again and again) Clara Bow, the “It” girl.
Only the first half of the first round was cut off for me. It cut introducing Maddie, and returned with Maddie giving her diving story.
It looked like David gave half answers, making him his own worst enemy.
Knowing who the “It Girl” was when I was a teen in 1967 won me the “Jeopardy!” home game from Don Pardo as an audience member. I still have it!
Tonight’s game was partly preempted in most U.S. markets due to coverage of Hurricane Helene flooding in Florida.
Imo, those were all good guesses on the players’ part. The word Stars in the category didn’t necessarily point to an actress, yet Ken said “the actress here who spent 8 days in jail…was Mae West.
I didn’t know Mae West wrote plays or that she also wrote screenplays.
P.S. West got 2 days off of her 10-day sentence for good behavior.
We were so close to having a 4 day champion in David because he made a small bet to stay above Alex if he covers Maddie and that would have worked out in David’s advantage but Maddie went for a small small wager to keep David locked out and she won in a tough final. Maybe next time we’ll try to find another TOC qualifier.
