The practice date was hilarious.

Well, here I am, back at my usual spot, the Table for 1. Hemingway was my only FJ this week - I should have got Oppenheimer but I did not. We have some leftover moo goo gai pan that I will bring.

I believe all these players were in only one game so there is no reason for us to remember them. Did not get FJ although I thought it would have something to do with the Manhattan Project. I haven't seen Oppenheimer (or Barbie) so I didn't really think of him in particular.

Not such a great game for me. I got only three ts's, economist, auctioneer, and dog-tired. I knew St. Stephen had something to do with Christmas but couldn't remember just what. Did not get FJ. I was trying to think more about just where the Antilles were so didn't really get to specific islands. I thought the Antilles were right in the Caribbean, so I learned something when I looked it up. Luckily I got Monday's FJ so I don't have to worry about being skunked this week.

Somebody, his mother or someone else, must know what happened that day.

I'm not sure I liked this episode or not. I laughed at Jasper's vision of the giant, slobbering dog, and I like that Dan and Donckers got together - as long as it doesn't lead to heartbreak down the road - but the CotW was so very sad and I don't like all the angst in Jasper's life. Too much angst just gets boring to me. But the characters and the acting are marvelous to watch.

I hope not! We've only had two episodes.

3/5 for me this week which I consider good. I got Monday, Thursday and Friday. I am another who said "Statue of Liberty guy". I'm sure I've heard his name before but it is buried very deep inside my brain cell filing system. Said Purgatory instead of Styx although even this long lapsed Catholic doesn't think of Purgatory as a "mythical place".

I was sorry to see Wayne go. But, a rewatch this morning told me his chorizo sauce or oil wasn't going to cut it anyhow. The judges had already expressed skepticism about it and, once he saw it wasn't working out, he should have switched to another sauce, even something very simple, just to have a sauce on the plate. Anyhow, I am rooting for Grant.

I didn't have any trouble with FJ either. It's a good thing they wanted only one capital - Oslo was an instaget but I would never have gotten Apia. Maybe I'll remember it should the capital of Samoa come up again. I did get the ts's of mustard seed, Red River, and whitewash. I knew Red River because it is on the news every spring when it floods in Manitoba.

Monday: Hi, everyone! It's great to be back and to see you all here again. It was such a quiet six weeks. It was a pretty good game for me and I enjoyed watching it. I didn't write down my ts's but I know I got drumsticks and soliloquy plus a couple more that I can't remember. Instaget FJ. It felt good to start off the week and the season right. Tuesday: Not such a great game tonight. My only ts was Vietnam and I felt so stupid for missing Oscar Wilde. No FJ for me tonight. I also said purgatory. I suppose "flood" and "brook" should have indicated something watery to me but they didn't.

New season starts here in Canada on October 2, 2023, according to fandom.com Murdoch Mysteries. Season 17

Why are they calling it Season 37 Second Chance? Were the contestants chosen from that season?

Weren't all the failures based on the same "who would you save" question? I've never heard of this show before but I found it on PBS when scrolling for some evening entertainment. I liked it well enough and will continue to watch.

You can also go to JBoard which shows the question but puts the answer in spoiler tags so you can't accidentally see it. And you only have to scroll down a couple of posts. JBoard

I'll be here. This is one of my most favourite threads. Also, this may finally be the year I get 5/5. I can only hope!

Unfortunately I missed the last bit of the show - just after Bobby got out of jail - so I missed which team won and who got sent home. Could someone let me know? I thought this was one of the better episodes; too bad I had to miss the end.

As long as she doesn't serve raw lamb (or liver).

2/5 I was hoping for better but I've had worse weeks. Thanks @Clanstarling, for all the work you've done for us. I do hope the contest will continue next season, whenever it starts.

Not the ending to the season I would have liked but not too bad a game for me. I got the missed DDs or ts's of Rocket (Richard), the (old) Pretender, tobacco, India & Bangladesh, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Did not get FJ. I have vaguely heard the term 'gonzo' journalism but I could have sat here till the cows came home without coming up with it. I'm going to miss you all during the hiatus. Hope the new season starts in a reasonable time without them having to use recycled clues. That isn't even fair to the new contestants.

Perhaps you could mention that some of us are sick of anagrams too.

I didn't get to see last night's game so I hadn't seen Lucas' hair - it doesn't look too bad to me. I did not get any ts's but I did get FJ.

Big storm knocked out power last night so there was no Jeopardy! for me. I checked JBoard this morning for FJ and I did get it, my first of the week. I started going through the archives for the rest of the game but it is pretty boring playing that way, so I quit about halfway through.

Regarding recycled clues, they already recycle so much of their material, just using different forms of the same question. I wish they would stop doing that. There's enough knowledge and history in the world that they don't need to keep repeating the same old stuff. One reason that the scores, in general, are so much higher nowadays is that new contestants have studied the archives and have a good idea of what might be asked. But I will probably still watch the shows with recycled clues. eta: Now I won't watch the shows with recycled clues.

Totally a crap game for me. I kept coming up with wrong answers or no answer at all. My only ts was Scotland. I couldn't even come up with a guess for FJ. I too rejected Angola because I know it's Portuguese not Spanish and nothing else came to mind. I really do need to study African countries. I liked all the contestants but find current champ a little slow talking.
