FRENCH TOWNS: Legend says local farm wife Marie Harel & a priest from Brie created the famous product of this Normandy village show

Hmm, let’s see… Thursday’s clue was voted the easiest of the week at my house but actually, Monday’s was the easiest for me. Going by the results, Wednesday’s was the hardest. As JP pointed out that day, the Supporting categories just don’t make that big of an impression. I saw “Green Book” the day before the Oscar ceremony and saw the actor and the movie win, so my experience with it was different.

Heather Nelson was back for her second game on Monday but Sarah Frontiera sent her home. Sarah won again on Tuesday but was defeated on Wednesday by Joshua Swiger. He lost to Michelle Paul on Thursday and she ran away with Friday’s game.

Here is the “Historic Pleas” category from Friday’s game with the “can I change my bet” Daily Double. That was a historic plea in and of itself!!
