I have no idea who Amanda Seales is.

I laughed when Kyra got the Footloose clue.

And it is moving very slowly.  Kyra takes forever to choose the next clue.

Mo Rocca is playing exactly as well as I expected him to.

Matthew Perry 😢

I should have gotten that one, especially once I noticed the "taped on" disclaimer pop up on the screen. I knew it had to be someone who passed away in between but I just couldn't connect the book title. As I did with my mediocre regular game tonight, I'll blame the migraine.

I was rooting for Mo, so yay. I like Kyra, too. I've seen Amanda on stuff here and there but I don't really know anything about her. Would have been fine with any of them, though.

This might be the calmest group of celebs I've ever seen on this show.

I was fully expecting to see Norman Lear, Sandra Day O’Connor, or Henry Kissinger to come up next.

Turned the TV on a little early for the regular game just in time for the Norman Lear news. :(

I suspected Mo would be good but Amanda was also very good and I'm sad that she wasn't in one of the weaker games because she could have easily moved to the semi-finals as well.

Kyra did not have a great game but even still, she didn't finish in the negative like a few other players. The later games have been stronger overall.

If they do a Second Chance tournament for Celebs, Amanda should be selected by virtue of seeming to have enjoyed the game and doing well.

I still have no idea who Amanda is or what she's been in, but I was impressed with her steadiness. Mo Rocca drives me crazy when he's on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me but I know he's knowledgeable and plays this game very well. And is not afraid of wagering big on the daily doubles. So good for him. Was frankly expecting a lot more from Kyra. She disappointed me!

And they wandered all over the board which makes me stabby. And chose very slowly, which made the game seem endless.

I watched this one because I like Kyra and Mo. I had no idea who Amanda was, but she was pretty impressive, and I'll look up to see what else she's been in.

I kept wanting a stylist to come trim Kyra's bangs. Mo's hair is pretty wild, but it didn't bother me like Kyra's. Amanda looked really good

If Mo continues to do well, he could win it all.

Hah! My daughter and I said the same thing! 
Maybe during one of the breaks they did at least curl them up a bit (or trim them), because they stopped bothering me?

I thought Applied Geometry was a bad category to give celebrities, especially since all the geometry was in the clue and did nothing to give an assist to get to the response. It seemed like it would serve only to frighten the timid and distract everyone. Good for Amanda for filtering through and getting the right response even though it didn't matter in the end.
