1/6 - just the tiebreaker. I should have got Beirut - It was "on the tip of my tongue". Couldn't retrieve the name in time.

He is so cute! In my experience, that initial "safe" place becomes the safe place pretty much forever. I think the only way would be to totally block access. As for coming out for visitors, again some cats are just shy. I'm not sure there is anything to do there other than ensure he has access to a safe space.

1/5 for me.

Me too!

1/5 - only Mao Zedong this week, but broke my streak of zeroes.

Well, phonetically the Zh is sort of a soft J sound, kind of like how the J is pronounced in "Jean-Luc Picard". Also, phonetically for Chinese transliteration to English letters is always going to be a bit dicey.

0/5 again, but less lonely this week it seems!

I remember another scene with a wedding dress and a ladder...

IMO, "Men of Science" is very different from "Men Scientists". If they had a "Women of Science" category (as opposed to "Women Scientists"), I may be less irritated.

This week was a shutout for me in regular J!, although I did have better luck with the Masters' Tournament. 0/5

I got an email not too long ago for "pop culture" Jeopardy that will stream on Prime I think? Looking for teams of 3. He also squinted during the "interview" portion of the show though, and he wouldn't have needed to read anything there, right?

Is it? I spent a good 5 minutes saying "our" and "hour" in various contexts/sentences, and I do pronounce them differently at the beginning.

I also said that, as a totally wild guess that seemed vaguely plausible based on my extremely limited knowledge of that topic. I laughed when James also seemingly struggled and then looked like he said Sacagawea just to give an answer, and then it was right.

1/5 (Scrooge), since "the guy who killed Franz Ferdinand" doesn't count ;)

*sigh* I instantly knew it was "the guy who assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand". I couldn't drag his name out of my brain in time. Had I been playing for real, I might have written down Ferdinand's name anyways in case I was a bit off the mark, since I couldn't remember Princip.

I'm rather attached to Eeyore - who I adopted as my avatar after Eeyore was a FJ answer years back. Apparently there is a version of Eeyore who wears a strawberry suit, though ;)

When none of them got "inspector" on the third clue, I lost hope for the game.

I love strawberries - I grow them on my kitchen counter. I have a little hydroponics set up, germinated my first plant from seeds I got off of a store-bought strawberry, and then it gave me a "baby" plant that I allowed to grow. I don't get a ton of strawberries as it's only two plants, but it's still pretty good. I used to do it with some plants from the garden store, and they were quite prolific, but I wasn't as big of a fan of the strawberries. In the summer, I'll grow the strawberry plants in pots on my balcony as well. They don't need nearly as much space as google led me to believe when I initially started growing them.

1/5, but I should have known In Cold Blood. Sad I missed that one.

I'm sad, I really did enjoy the show. Like others, I wish they would have just cut that last scene - it wasn't necessary anymore. I was worried the whole plot with the virus would end on a cliffhanger, but they had wrapped that up nicely.

I was genuinely surprised Jess took the job. I couldn't help but feel that her decision was made when Parker didn't tell her about Lily, yet I was still surprised when she said yes. I thought they were going for a "Lily went overboard and drowned" angle. My heart broke for Jimmy a bit, when Jess said yes. I think they are my two favourite characters, separately, and I do like them together when their relationship is mature and relatively drama-free. Not that Jimmy was really behaving that way in this episode, though. I feel like they will move the job to DC and have Jess do both the training and NCIS part time...or have her just do 6-week blocks or something of training, a few times a year.

Took me longer than I should have, but as they were reading out the first (incorrect) response, an image of the Swiss guards popped into my head. A bit slow but I'll take the credit ;)

2/5* for me.

I am similarly aged to your daughter, and "won" a copy of Macarena as a young child. It was a dance contest to the song, and I'm pretty sure I won because I was the cutest (read: youngest). After FJ tonight I was asking my mom about it, thinking I was maybe 5 or so, and she commented that the clue said 1996 - so I would have had to be older than that. I googled, and it was initially released in 1993, but the version with some English lyrics was released in 1996. Not sure exactly how old I was at the time of the contest, then.

I can't watch Yogesh win. It is too painful. I don't recall the last time I viscerally disliked a contestant so strongly - and I don't think I felt this way prior to his comments after his initial run.
