This week, we had not one, but TWO perfect FJ! days. If we must pick the easiest out of those two, we’d have to say it was Friday’s. Tuesday’s clue was the only triple stumper and that was definitely a hard one… I had forgotten the name of the place by today! Only one person got the other two clues this week.
I thought the Broadway Roles clue had more pointers in it than the Fictional Places clue, but that was in retrospect. I had no problem with Fictional Places but I went with “Les Miserables” for Broadway Roles!
Dave Pai returned on Monday but Tom Duffey took over the champion spot with $31,400, the week’s highest payout. Brendan Sargent won on Tuesday with $7,600, the week’s lowest payout. Morgan Briles sent Brendan home on Wednesday and she won on Thursday, too. Nick Cascone won on Friday and he will be the returning champ this coming Monday.
The contestants’ cumulative winnings for Katie Couric’s two-week guest stint were $230,504. That amount will be donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Dream Team from Stand Up to Cancer.
Here is Sting’s category from Thursday’s game:
OK< it magically appeared right after I clicked "submit".
yeah, idk why the video didn’t come up for you right away. Anyhow, I’m working on the image now. So sorry to be so slow but it’s doctor’s order. Among other things, my right arm is messed up and I am right-handed. So I have to rest it every so often
Oh, I didn’t mean it that way. I was serious about asking if the video maybe was “coming later”(I couldn’t see it, even after refreshing the page a couple times). But I was just joking about the rest (urgency, etc). You couldn’t get the joke w/out me giving you any background—I used to have a highschool-girl-older-man crush on Sting.
I’d never seriously rush you on anything. I don’t even know how you do half of this stuff when still recuperating from surgery. Sorry about your arm, what a bummer!
Hope your arm feel better soon and please follow doctors orders—Rest. And thanks for posting the Sting category!
No worries. I really didn’t think you were rushing me. I just feel bad because being weak is not my self-image. Like I told my kid today, I’m supposed to be a strong woman. 💪
P.S. Here’s another coincidence — I just came across this video, Bob Dylan singing a “Mr. Jones” song he wrote.
VJ, please don’t mess with my head. The Sting category is coming later, along with the contestant images, right? Right? Right?
The Sting category has already came but idk about the image. She has to rewatch all five of the episodes just to take a picture of the winner so it might take some time.
Thanks for that comment, Quinn. It’s up now. I actually finished it last night and thought it updated.
Thanks, Quinn, but I don’t ever really need to see the images; I was just joking. One of those jokes that are so bad you had to explain.
