The Connecticuts surprised me as well, but as I thought about it more, it's probably the least-wrong wrong answer: it does border three states, and they all have Ivies. Nothing else meets that. (Granted, there are many states that fulfill 2/3 of the criteria by bordering 3 states and not having an Ivy, but I think that's a lower bar.)

Agreed 100%. I finally watched episode 1 last night, and am really not sure about the rest. Does he feature as prominently, or do other people take more screen time? If there's as much of him, I think I'm out.

Same problem here. Just glad I caught it after only one week. The end of Soma vs. Subaru, with my new favorite line, "an amusement park of delicious meat glory".

I didn’t realize Sister Wendy had died until today’s clue.

Actually, Alex, “the Pigeon sisters” was enough, thankyouverymuch.

I was wondering about the segregation in Vegas, after having it called out in this episode and not the Vegas ones, and if I'm reading things right it looks like, in this time frame, some hotel/casinos would make some exceptions if the performer was a big enough name. I loved that you could hear Camelot being rehearsed when they were waiting for the backer's run-through of Sophie's show to start. When they lost the theater, I assumed that was the show that would be taking it, and had quite the laugh when it turns Miss Julie stole Camelot's theater instead.

I'm way behind on these, so this may have already been resolved, but...Bret Weston Wellis? Donna Sweet? Please tell me the other two in the group will have similarly pun-tastic names...

One of the bumper photos (or maybe it was the one from when his name is announced, I can’t remember) did have him in the 5 Timer smoking jacket.

Frankly, toward the end, I was pulling for him not to, because he had just played so poorly that he really didn’t deserve it. At least he didn’t miss the ridiculously easy FJ.

Which one wasn’t it in? I had been noticing it as well, even before reading the other posts that talked about it, and I was sure it had been in all of them this season.

That may be the raunchiest thing I've ever heard Alex say...and I loved it.

I instagot Streisand, and then spent the next 29.3 seconds thinking "Oooh, what about Cher?". Luckily I stuck to my guns with Barbra. After seeing the other names mentioned here, I did Google the list to see where Cher and the rest ranked. I would strongly advise everyone not to bother, a) because it's behind a paywall, and b) because I could see that the #2 was Taylor Swift, so the entire thing is clearly invalid anyway.

I was pretty confident with East India Company right away, but only when I could picture the logo seen in the film was I comfortable that I didn't need a "British" or something else in front of it.

Apologies for the sideways-ness of the photos. Was showing some friends from out of town around Olvera Street in LA over the weekend, and saw something that made me chuckle.

I had forgotten about Kings—that was a great show. I knew it thanks to the musical King David. One of the songs is, quite straightforwardly, “Goliath of Gath”.
