Anybody catch all the guests from espn who delivered the questions on semifinals 2? I’m trying to figure out if a former colleague of mine made a guest appearance.
Hi Troy, guess what? there’s a video of that category on Page 2 of this recap
This episode was great seeing a tiebreaker going into final which made it even more fun to watch. I loved every moment of it! I hope the finals will be even more fun to enjoy with the finalists giving it their all. The first game got me out of my seat cheering for Liz!
As I predicted, Isaac’s conservative wagering did not benefit him.
But, wow! This episode was lights out great! Especially the first game, ending up at $11,000, $11,000, and $10,800? And, everyone wagering everything? And, getting it right? And, a tie breaker?
I really liked it, seeing the moment when Liz realized she knew the tie breaker – that was a rarefied event!
The second was a little less exciting, but, that’s like saying the first half was a 3 story house on fire, and the second was a 2 story house! Big ups for Jaskaran, and, originally, I was thinking Raymond would run away with it all, but, now, I’m hoping it will be a real challenge!
@Jason, I posted this message for you as soon as these games were over because I wanted to give you your props on that prediction
“As we like to say around here when the shoe fits — you wuz right !! 🤣🤣🤣”
But then I remembered that you said you watch it on the DVR, so I thought it would be better to wait till I knew you saw the game. I agree that the first game was something else!
