This non-contestant had the same problem. I was sad too that he was a ts.

I was going to explain it too, but @Good Queen Jane did a great job of explaining it. Anyhow, I got the ts's or missed DDs of Salome, mantilla, St. Christopher, and Bernadette. Did not get FJ and didn't even come up with any clear guess. Mumbled "Smithsonian" with no hope that it was correct. A come-from-behind win! Makes FJ just a little more interesting.

A decent game for me. I got the ts's of decoupage, Garth Brooks, Bridget Jones, and the missed DD of Vancouver. FJ was an instaguess but I couldn't think of anything else so stayed with Liberty Bell.

I am enjoying it. I laughed when Michael Voltaggio showed up to go against his brother, Brian. And I'm glad they won the challenge against Bobby and Darnell. I knew turkey sausage just wasn't going to cut it in turkey tetrazzini.

A middling game for me with only one ts: Chevrolet. Unfortunately, "Georgia green" did not lead to Atlanta so I guessed Jim Beam. Once the answer was revealed I was sure I'd be the only person in the world to have gotten it wrong. I'm glad to see that I wasn't. I liked Fred and Stuart but I'm afraid Emily didn't make much impression on me. I thought Fred's voice was so loud because he's a professor and was projecting to the back of the class.

Yes, Queen Isabella of Castile who, along with her husband Ferdinand of Aragon, financed Columbus' expeditions and helped start the Spanish Inquisition.

So Alvin died? That is so sad. I liked him even though we only saw him briefly. I'm glad Luke is thinking about Susan and trying to get in touch with her. I guess he'll eventually realize something is wrong and go rescue her.

Not too good a game for me. My only ts was double eagle. For FJ I saw a date in 1400s, mother Isabelle and blurted out Catherine of Aragon. The rest of the clue didn't really connect to her of course but it was too late, my mind was fixed and Joan of Arc didn't occur to me. Besides, I have never heard of her mother working to clear her name so I'll have to look that up.

2/5 0* I'll bring some dips for the breadsticks that aren't already coated in chocolatey goodness.

Only two ts's or missed DDs for me: chattels and Dürer. For some reason Faulkner popped into my mind immediately. I think it was the regional thing, since I know he wrote about the south. I was a little worried for Jen when she won. I thought she might pass out from excitement.

How did you all like four Rex dogs last night? Weren't they beautiful? Rex just fit in with the other three dogs.

Season 17 Ep. 6 Dying to be Enlightened Nov. 6 2023 I liked this episode very much. It was good to see Watts come to terms with himself and his private and public lives. Poor Effie. She is missing George so much. She probably should have gone with him to find his father. Julia the skeptic! At least she solved a murder and learned to be more flexible, bodywise. William seemed to like that! I was glad the guru was not the bad guy for a change. Yes, there was crookedness, but not his doing. I didn't think he was doing anything wrong by just recycling exercises and philosophies taken from other cultures. At least he was presenting it to people in a way they could understand and gain something from it.

I thought so too. He was so OTT on his last game and so subdued last night that I figured he was told to tone it down some. Anyhow, I got no ts's, just the missed DD of Sartre but it was otherwise an okay game for me. For FJ I said Ethiopia right away then noticed they wanted the capital. Luckily it is one of the few African capitals I do know so I switched to Addis Ababa.

What with having no opposable thumbs and all.

Not so great a game for me today. My only missed answers were Bonnie Prince Charlie and Pegasus. Did not get FJ. Not familiar with the lyrics of Battle Hymn of the Republic so it was just a guessing game for me. I thought it might be The Star Spangled Banner but it wasn't. I've heard about the toilet paper holder thing before from other contestants. I don't see anything gross about it.

Based on watching those same shows, I kept thinkng Riker's Island - I knew that was wrong but couldn't pull Bellevue out of the recesses of my brain.

I figure all that information was downloaded into Augie’s brain, a la Chuck - remember Chuck? And then, when he needs it, the information will be available to him. I wish they had gone into more detail about the woman ghost in the house; they didn't develop her too well and I think she would have been very interesting.

Only one ts for me, Grandma Moses. FJ was not quite an instaget but came pretty quickly. I think Aaron's OTTness is just part of his personality, not put on just for Jeopardy! His kids looked like they were used to his behaviour but were kind of embarrassed.

Congrats @secnarf! 3/5 1* for Richard III

I didn't get any ts's or missed DDs but FJ was an instaget. It seemed so obvious I thought it must be a trick but I couldn't think of any other seas that it might be.

Season 17 Episode 5 Station House of Horrors Oct. 30 2023 Well, my fears were realized, at least as far as Julia/Gillies went. The whole scenario seemed sort of pointless and wasn't interesting to me at all. I liked the Violet Hart story better especially as it had Watts in it. And I do like her friend, Isaiah. Margaret was hilarious, knowing full well what the meat was and being okay with it because it was cheap. Loved the little rat tail poking out of Thomas's pie at the end. And the last episode was just sad. Who was this "kindly" man who gave the doll to Susannah? Why did it want to kill Murdoch? More questions than answers. And then it turned out they never even went to the carnival. Higgins probably did okay with the mechanical soothsayer. He always seems to land on his feet. I wish the writers would inject a little more humour into their Halloween episodes. I am really not a fan of horror stories.

Another okay game for me. I got the ts's and missed DD of transference, Triangle Shirtwaist Factory (probably doesn't really count since I knew only the Triangle part and couldn't remember the other part until the contestant said it), manqué, Blue Nile, and acid. For FJ my first thought was Texas, using the same reasoning as @secnarf, but I also thought of California. However, I stuck with Texas.

Ditto! I came close this week with 4/5, 0*. There's a lot of us with 4/5. I think all those cookies last week bumped up our brain cell count.

An okay game for me although I got only two ts's, short stories an spores. FJ was another instaget. I knew Franklin was ambassador to France - didn't know if he was USA's first ambassador but figured he was likely to be.

Not a great game overall but not too bad either. I got the ts's of Marquette, pitchers, and goalies. FJ was an instaget but it was so easy I doubted myself. However, there wasn't any other family that seemed to fit the bill. I also shouted out that Carnegie was Scottish, not Irish, but it was too late and didn't really matter by then. Sometimes I'm strict with myself, sometimes not so much. I figure if I get it before the correct answer is revealed then it's a get for me.
