Second half was terrible as we got a double stumper and the clues were not nice to Anna.
Quarter final 10 was painful to watch.
That’s a very succinct way to say it, and very accurate. I am surprised that producers didn’t stop and tell them all, but especially Anna, to wait to be acknowledged before starting to talk.
I should have taken FJ literally, but, didn’t think to, and said Jefferson Davis.
I also said George the III but there were some easy clues that were missed here. A fourth place finisher will be guaranteed a spot in the second chance tournament later on.
