HavartiHead42 June 9, 2018 Share June 9, 2018 4 hours ago, SHD said: I felt bad about not liking David, but then I came to this forum and I was like, "My people - you get it!" He reminded me of the jerk in every John Hughes movie. Mostly he just came across as insincere/rehearsed - like a theater kid or the male version of a pageant girl. I never watch the interviews, so can someone tell me why him saying his Mom was a doctor was so infuriating? My husband also made the 80s teen movie villain comparison. Some of my best friends are doctors (well, OK, one) so that in itself wasn't the problem. I'm sure his father is a Harvard professor or publishing magnate as well. I hated his smarmy delivery, like of course he's so brilliant because his brilliant parents gave him every advantage. The kind of guy who doesn't realize he was born on 3rd base. 8 Link to comment

Toothbrush June 9, 2018 Share June 9, 2018 I really wanted John to win. Until that fakey fake DD wager, I gave David the benefit of the doubt that he simply had an exuberant personality & wasn't acting that way just to annoy me. TS I got were Washington, Ulysses, God is dead (missed DD), 25 or 6 to 4. FJ was an instaget - Hundred (not One Hundred) Acre Wood, Alex.

The kind of guy who doesn't realize he was born on 3rd base. Mine too. One gave birth to me and I married another one. I can kinda see the smarminess, but I also give him the tiniest bit of slack because he probably hasn't had to live in the real world yet. Maybe in 5 years he'll be more aware. But he can be a one & done and I will not be upset. Unless someone more annoying beats him that is. 7 Link to comment

Yes, I screamed Rocky. Loved that cartoon and Farctured Fairy Tales as a child on Saturday mornings. I didn’t get FJ as I haven’t read/watched much Winnie the Pooh. My nephew, who’s turning 50 soon, loves him and still has his childhood bear. I found a roll of Winnie the Pooh Christmas wrapping paper and use it every year fo his gift. He gets teased for it but secretly loves it. 8 Link to comment

saber5055 June 9, 2018 Share June 9, 2018 (edited) Congrats to lb60 for the FJ shoutout! I liked the outgoing champ. He was dressed respectfully in a suit, and was good looking in a brainiac way, which appeals to me. (Love glasses on men!) What was up with the new champ being all hemming and hawing over what to bet on his DD? Get out much, kid? His theatrics after he won were pretty OTT, like he was homeless living under a bridge somewhere, and now he would be able to buy a hot dog and get a room at the Motel 6 for the night. But after reading here, I might have to agree that he is a Master Thespian in his own mind. Did the players write "100" on their FJ answers? I wasn't paying all that much attention. But if so, they needed to be ruled incorrect. TMI. And Incorrect TMI at that. Edited June 9, 2018 by saber5055 8 Link to comment

Tabasco Cat June 12, 2018 Share June 12, 2018 FJ was insanely easy. If anything the obscure reference to "sackbut" would tend, I think, to lead one away from the answer due to obfuscation.

Somehow those sizes screwed up my logic. When they were doing the answer about where a Judge goes (beginning with the letter “C”) I guessed chambers. I’d never heard in camera and my brother is a Judge! We had a laugh at David’s expense.
