I did get FJ, Africa, monkeys and epidemic didn't leave me with many fictional character choices. I too paused because none of that equaled Jane Goodall!!

My only thought for this FJ, really, my only one, was a fleeting thought about that building in L.A. that's supposed to look like a stack of records.

But it didn't say Sun Records, it said Stax. I would never have got this in a million years, even if they had told me it was in Memphis

And I am old right along with you, it was the first thing I thought of when I saw the name. And considering that, him answering in Italian was especially funny.

Either Kat or Corwin have the possibility of coming back. I'm hoping for Corwin, but I do like Kat so I could live with that. I was hoping Vinnie and Lana would be the ones going, I don't like him and I have problems remembering her, I just had to scroll up to find someone who mentioned her name, I can never remember.

I have no idea what Biff's last name is so I'm glad my answer was accepted. And I knew Dr. Seuss wouldn't be, I was expecting to see a scoring change when they came back from commercial and I was right. Dr is definitely not his middle name.

I've got Alyssa and Josiah down, it's Mark and his husband who I keep forgetting, every time they put Mark's name on the screen I thought 'who?' I thought that guys name was Mike, and then they would show him or his husband (whose name escapes me) and I would remember, at least for a few minutes.

Or, as my daughter says after I look at her incredulously for not knowing something I think is obvious, 'You don't know what you don't know'

I'm so glad I gave this a try. It's quirky and funny and really very good. As soon as I watched the first episode I texted my sister to tell her to watch too. She enjoys a lot of the same mysteries that I do, Brokenwood, Vera, Chelsea Detective, Death in Paradise..., but doesn't like a lot of swearing in the ones she watches (I am so inured to it I hardly ever notice when they swear, last one she bailed on was A Remarkable Place to Die). But I told her, no swearing you'll like it. And she did.

And Cesare Danova!

I knew her whole name was Ann-Margret Olsson so I knew she was Swedish but I actually just watched Viva Las Vegas a few weeks ago on TCM. She was one of his co-stars who could actually keep up with him musically. I mean Shelley Fabares has a sweet voice and even had a hit record but not in the same class as Elvis. Truthfully, my knowledge of Wicked comes from Glee fanfiction. Two of the characters on the show love it and so it has worked it's way into some of the fanfic, including the character of Boq. And both Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth played characters on Glee (which is how I knew about their connection to Wicked).

Another FJ that I knew without ever having read or seen the source material. Was surprised by the Ann-Margret TS.

This was me too, so many ads!

Season 35, episode 3, the older agent got Joel and Garrett and at least one other team on an earlier flight.

I got FJ because of the series The Borgias and Ronan Vibert playing Giovanni Sforza.

I don't think iMonrey was talking about the order they leave in, they were talking about the vagaries of booking flights, how many times have we seen that one travel agent will find a faster flight, or teams decide to risk a close connection. It's the DRAMA! they want. They want teams fighting over flights, want them to try to keep what they are doing from other teams, want the team that gets there last to luck into an earlier flight because someone canceled etc. Each team booking with an iPad in 'correct order' is boring. Even the farce of them going to the same travel agent is better in my opinion, especially if the first teams out get lost along the way. (only my opinion, of course)

It's easiest to see on the women when they are wearing a tank top or if they get wet. Usually the guys shirts cover it pretty well.

Eddie Timanus wrote on Twitter: It pretty much goes without saying that this was a #Layup for me.

? am I missing something? All the amendment clues were answered, 2 by Josh, 2 by Bryce, 1 by Allison.

I guess I misunderstood the clue, I thought of Braille but I thought it had an immense number of combinations, I mean, it spells words and there are a lot of words! then I thought semaphore, boo.😛

First I didn't quote it but yes, I remember Phil asking questions like this before, especially after Uturns. You can sometimes see the mic clipped to the back of their shorts/pants. They ALWAYS have to have their cameraman, remember that mess with Danny and Angie losing their crew? This is a TV show they need to be filmed almost constantly, I have seen footage from flights, there was one where everyone scrambled for the first flight out of Hawaii only to have it turn back when one of the passengers had a heart attack. Footage of reactions from the teams on board. then there was the Goat Yoga ladies when one got all passive-aggressive when her partner actually talked to someone to get intel on their destination without her! /s If they miss some kind of drama because there was no camera that is not good TV.

Especially because they actually need 3 or 4 tickets because they can't board without their cameraman, used to be soundman too I think but I don't know if they still need that with the modern mics attached to them.

I thought the same, she really wanted her hug but those hats made it very difficult.

I think any challenge where they pick or are given a specific ingredient are always uneven, it's nothing new. And I agree that the biscuits, and I'll throw in the muffins, were harder than the licorice. At least licorice has a strong flavor and can be used in cold recipes, but what does a plain biscuit or muffin taste like? It seems to me that they are more heavily influence by what else you actually put in them? how do you translate a warm buttery biscuit into something cold? What flavor is your muffin? is it just a sweetish bread? do you add cinnamon? blueberries? to me they don't really have a 'taste' of their own. But maybe I'm not familiar with what a Michelin Star biscuit or muffin tastes like.

After the first episode they showed some quick clips of what was coming up in the season and I saw Amy really quickly and told my daughter That's Jeopardy Amy, what's she doing there. I think Mattea was also there in the clip but it was so quick they didn't register in my brain.
