  1. Didn't expect Bruce to go out so quickly, but he needed to get FJ right but didn't. That seems to be happening a lot lately. I worked out FJ fairly easily when I saw ova and then virent/viret since I know a little bit of Latin via Spanish. I also got How Sweet it is and Brass in Pocket.
  2. Different strokes and all that... but I like the new Champion and hated the previous one. I got Lou Grant, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Niagara and Spain. FJ I had no clue but guessed disciples. Missionaries never entered my brain although know more than enough about religions.
  3. I didn't get FJ, I kept saying to myself "the other guy, not Grant". lol. But I couldn't pick his name out of my brain to save my life. This game was much better than yesterday. I'm glad to see Travis keep winning.
  4. FJ was an instaget for me because I read about that somewhere and found it fascinating. I was very surprised the middle guy missed the answer because I was prepared for him to win and I preferred my hometown guy, Travis! He's not exactly from Philadelphia but a suburb of it. I'm waiting for the $4,133 bet because I'm sure he's an Eagles fan. Go Birds! 🙂
  5. I, too, was disappointed they didn't finish the Super Bowl category. I would have swept the category. I was also sure they would bring up the Philly Special. I like the new winner, mainly because I couldn't stand the champion. I was shocked he missed FJ as it was an instaget for me. Can I mention this pet peeve? Why do contestants not bet everything when they get a Daily Double on the 2nd line? IT'S GOING TO BE EASY, PEOPLE!! Today, he missed but 99% the time, they get the answer. It's the second most easy question in that category! You have to bet everything, especially if you have a lot of money, like the woman a few weeks ago. It cost her the game. That is all.
  6. That's my guess too, Brady following McDaniels. But for the most part, this hanging on thing almost never ends well. It becomes embarrassing and painful to watch. Like Peyton, who won the SB with the Broncos, they won in spite of him, a broken down warhorse. Anyway, I'm exhausted and too tired to hate Brady anymore.
  7. There's lots of talk of Brady not retiring and returning to the Pats or some other team. My question is: WHY??? What does he have to prove? That he's not a quarterback who throws a pick-six on the final play of his career? It's going to end some day and however it truly ends, it won't take away not one bit from his goat legacy. In fact, nothing will (sorry, triple negative. lol). Exactly how many Super Bowls rings, MVP awards, All Pro accolades does he need? There's something a bit psychotic about still trying to prove something. Prove what? He's already proven everybody wrong a million times over. The pick-six doesn't change that. Just saying...
  8. I got dog in the fight, the last tycoon and Scientific American. OTOH, I had no idea about FJ so my streak is over. That Native category was beyond sad. Hard to watch. All 3 contestants were sooo annoying in their own way, hoping for a new champ tomorrow.
  9. Got 3 in a row FJ! I guessed the holly tree because mistletoe is not a tree. Also knew TS Lady Gaga and Voyager. I was trying to remember the documentary where I saw the origin story of MacDonald's and it was "The Food that Built America". Hershey's and Mars story is in it too. Fascinating stuff. I still miss Jennifer too.
  10. I got FJ but wasn't sure. I read somewhere that it was some state out west, but thought maybe it was Iowa(??). I settled on the first woman to vote, in any case. I was sorry to see Jennifer, she was my favourite in a long time. Looking forward to her in the Tournament next year! I also got Twilight Zone FJ. I was like 99% sure because of the year and the "strange", but then thinking they were guitars? Never knew that. Lol.
  11. I'm really liking Jennifer a lot. She seems so shocked that she's still there, making a lot of money and "living the dream". It's so endearing! It was also cute at the end where she was showing Alex how shaky her hands were, but calm enough to be the only one with the correct answer in FJ. Lol. My TS was CSI. Surprised no one knew it. And a shout out to Taraji P. Henson for Person of Interest. Loved her on that show.
  12. I have a hard time believing this. I actually was going to give the pats their due right before deflate-gate, but that was the final straw. They don't deserve my respect. The question I ask is if it doesn't mean anything and doesn't give an edge to the pats, then why do it? or risk it at all? It's clear to me these things do give them a very distinct advantage so it's worth the risk. (And I'm not saying I know exactly what these advantages are, but Bill sure does).
  13. I ran the category too although it pains me to see them as a category. I'm surprised they haven't done it sooner for that team. I'm a devout Baseball fan and I like the Red Sox too. Even though I didn't know the football team played at Fenway, it was an obvious answer. But Wrigley and Comiskey parks? Laughable. Clearly not Sports fans at all. lol. OTOH, I had no clue about FJ!
  14. Another day when I thought it was too easy and thought I was wrong. I was like well, if it's not that, I have no idea!
  15. Sorry to see Elise go, I was really liking her! A little quirky and not boring 🙂 I said Levi but thought it was too easy so I thought I was wrong. In general, it seems we are going back to top clue first as a pattern. I don't mind either way or when they jump around. However, what really bugs me is when Alex says 1 minute to go with one category left and the player who is behind starts at the top. It seems really dumb to me even if you're not sure of the category. You have to be aggressive and start at the bottom because you have limited time to get the most money. Anyway, one of my pet peeves. (and no James as the next host, please)
