Is Rowen still in Chicago? All the tracks round here save one have closed. I wonder if they write for tracks outside the area? Side note: I know a woman who named her horse Rowen Mayfair after a character in the Anne Rice books. Every time I hear the name Rowen I silently add Mayfair.

I cheated and looked up Sabena during the think music. Got the answer as soon as I saw the country.

Yep, Forrest Bounce. I stand corrected.

I have remembered exactly zero of the contestants in this un tournament. Wednesday’s game was a perfect example of the Forester Bounce. I could not keep up with the constant category changes.

If she gets into the ToC I will kill myself. Doubly if she is in the same game as Mattea who I cannot stand.

I am a geography idiot but I got Black Sea. I could tell they were looking for something up Scandihoovian way so I said Bering for the other, thinking a out what used to be Lapland. I got Jacobite but couldn’t come up with impolite.

If Curious George did not have a tail, then he was an ape, not a monkey. Instaget FJ! Who else could it be???

The Big Three Miltons: Berle, Bradley, Hershey.

I’m gonna say that the producers made up the second chance tournament so that other players had a chance to compete against people who aren’t Amy, Matt, and Mattea. It doesn’t have anything to do with players who actually deserve a second chance because nobody does. You either win or you didn’t. Anyway, the final 2 games in the ToC will be Amy, Matt, and Mattea and I predict Matt to win the whole thing.

I got Citroen from watching The Mentalist. Not looking forward to this week’s second chance aka losers’ tournament.

The boy in My Friend Flicka was Ken, not Kevin.

Thank you MrAtoZ. That will help me remember. When is someone going to answer Trebekistan??? That is now my go to answer for any of the -Stan countries. Credit to Bob Harris.

I got portobello and pyrite and a bunch of others, but not FJ! I’m an a geography idiot and would never consider Afghanistan an Asian country. I expressed disbelief to my other decades ago about Turkey being in Asia and she said “what continent do you think it’s on?” I dunno. It’s just there, by itself. Are Israel and Palestine considered part of Asia?

I think the Ryan referred to is Ryan from NJ whose little boy made him a necklace or bracelet as a good luck charm.

David’s swaying is making me sea sick.

Midwest person who says hock and pawn are synonyms but hock does not in any way sound like hawk. Dawn v Don. Let’s not get into it.

No clue as to FJ! I sat there slack jawed. I really like Christopher especially after his story of folding socks in Peoria.

No clue as to FJ! I guessed Song of the South which isn’t a song, I know nothing about Disney movies of the Common Era.

The emphasis on bloody and gory cake decorations is putting me off. Do we need a cake decorated with blood splashes?

Wong forum.

Landscape painters are either Constable or Turner, leaning towards Constable. I heard Luigi say constant but he caught himself before Ken ruled him incorrect. Monet, Manet, tippy tippy day day.

After the game and my happiness at Ken being announced as the host, I did a bit of Googling. There were articles from June saying Ken and Mayim will be co-hosts??? I hope those articles were wrong. How many 19th century novels feature bell towers? Only one.

Yeah, I might not be watching. It’s no longer about the game.

Re: ToC. Is the seeded player a new thing? I don’t remember that from past tournaments.

God, how I hate Mattea. As a contestant not as a person, but I’m sure she would annoy me just as much if I met her socially.
