Bastet February 25 Share February 25 I don't watch cable news (or The View) but I'm well aware who Ana Navarro is, and I really like Yvette Nicole Brown. I looked up David Friedberg and only found some businessperson. He has a podcast, so I guess that's the celebrity.

Red Bridey February 26 Share February 26 (edited) I love Yvette Nicole Brown and have heard of Ana Navarro. The guy? No idea...yet. Maybe I'll recognize him when I see him.

Bastet February 27 Share February 27 Ana thinks Buddha is spelled "Buddah"? This game was not off to a good start. But she made me laugh talking about it after the show -- "I misspelled buddha on national TV, how am I going to overcome that?" And with "I don't know how I knew that!" when she answered the Debussy clue; I have said that many a time. Her "I'm from Florida, it does smell like a sweaty foam finger" also entertained me (even as I got Oklahoma), as did her comments before the reveal of her FJ response. And Yvette jumping in as another child-free dog lady. They were a fun group, especially those two. I've only seen Yvette in a few acting roles, but I've seen her in several interviews where she impressed me as smart and passionate about all the right things, so I was rooting for her. I still don't understand how the champ is a celebrity. I can't believe, even for Celebrity J!, Wuthering Heights was a TS. I really enjoyed the 3+3=6 category. I dreaded FJ based on the category - childhood was a long time ago, and I'm a child-free cat lady, so if it's a book that gets read to kids rather than being a book kids read, I generally have no chance. But this one made me think of the caterpillar book, from years of it being asked about on regular J!, but I mistitled it the same way the champ did so I didn't get it. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152069-s03e07-quarterfinal-7-ana-navarro-david-friedberg-and-yvette-nicole-brown/#findComment-8592764

Browncoat February 27 Share February 27 In the end, I didn't hate them all quite so much as I did at the beginning, and I was rooting for Yvette. But mostly I was happy to be able to get FJ, something I haven't done in regular Jeopardy! yet this week! 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152069-s03e07-quarterfinal-7-ana-navarro-david-friedberg-and-yvette-nicole-brown/#findComment-8592861

proserpina65 February 27 Share February 27 Hey, I actually knew two of the three celebrities! That was a pretty good game. 9 hours ago, Bastet said: I dreaded FJ based on the category - childhood was a long time ago, and I'm a child-free cat lady, Me too, but I have the benefit of having worked for Borders Books for 11 years and sold a lot of kids books so FJ was pretty much an instaget. I don't think James and the Giant Peach was a terrible guess, though. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152069-s03e07-quarterfinal-7-ana-navarro-david-friedberg-and-yvette-nicole-brown/#findComment-8592953
Red Bridey February 27 Share February 27 Ana was feisty. Wrong, but feisty. Yvette was better as she calmed down. FJ was an instaget for me. I felt such angst when both Ana and Yvette forgot to spell their correct answers. The pause to let them realize their mistakes was sooo long, and they still didn't. There was a lot of time after the end of the game for them to schmooze. It seemed unusual to me, but then, after the winner is declared I am known to turn it off so maybe this is a thing with the celebrities. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152069-s03e07-quarterfinal-7-ana-navarro-david-friedberg-and-yvette-nicole-brown/#findComment-8592991

possibilities February 27 Share February 27 I knew about the very hungry caterpillar, despite being a childless cat lady who also never read it as a child. I am not sure why I know it! I think, though, that the author might be Eric Carle, and if that's the case, there is a museum dedicated to him in the region, so I may have gotten my knowledge off the wind here. Anyone who competes in this format is doing it for charity at the resk of personal humiliation, so I tend to like them all and not feel too judgy. I thought the game became more fun when they relaxed and decided to have fun themselves-- and I guess that rule for fun works most places. I always for get to stick around for the post-game chatting. 3 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152069-s03e07-quarterfinal-7-ana-navarro-david-friedberg-and-yvette-nicole-brown/#findComment-8593078
ams1001 February 28 Share February 28 I don't watch The View but I've seen Ana as a guest on various political commentary-type shows. Yvette I've probably seen mostly in interviews and game shows. 11 hours ago, chitowngirl said: The Jeopardy curse seems to have found Celebrity Jeopardy.

It is, indeed, Eric Carle. I loved that book when I was little. In the old library in my town, there were windows across the front wall with a long, low bookcase running the length of the wall beneath them. You could sit up on top of the bookcase and I would climb up there with that book and read through it over and over. 2 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152069-s03e07-quarterfinal-7-ana-navarro-david-friedberg-and-yvette-nicole-brown/#findComment-8593321
30 Helens February 28 Share February 28 Good god, that was an annoying game. I turned to my husband after round two and sighed “oh no, there’s still one more?” Pre-game, I only knew Yvette Nicole Brown and have always liked her. But while she was wearing on my nerves a bit, that was nothing compared to the whiny complainer at Podium One. The constant protests when she was ruled wrong, the shouting out at every turn… I just wanted her to shut up, already. I still have fond feelings for Yvette, but I’m glad Guy in the Middle won. He played the least irritating game by far. Oh, and consider me as further proof that you don’t need kids to be aware of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. It was an instaget. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/152069-s03e07-quarterfinal-7-ana-navarro-david-friedberg-and-yvette-nicole-brown/#findComment-8593574
