Re: Wednesday, December 20, 2023 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

I'm surprised not to hear more discussion about Juveria. She was barely on anyone's radar screen before yesterday, and won an extremely well-played game pretty decisively, with 52 buzz attempts! And showed nerves of steel on the opera DD. She has the appearance of a top-notch player.

I'll add that I-10 in Texas is 878 miles, which is a quarter of (checks math) 3500.

Any reason "sh*t show" wouldn't work for DD3, other than being not suitable for a general audience?

Could someone write DD1 in English? While I solved it based on category and sports knowledge, I still cannot wrap my head around the phrase-ology.

Apologies if this is already known and I'm late to the party, but I'm hearing that TuneIn Radio has some episodes from 84-86 that don't seem to be in the Archive

Emma's FJ wager was not "textbook" but after the last two FJs, I can't say I blame her.

I spent think time trying to figure out who someone could guess on a miss since my pen was already down before the music began. The closest I could think of was died in 1976 Howard Hughes. At some point, on some forum I will find the answer of who to miss with on the clue. Frank Lloyd Wright and Ab...

Stunned to see Cris go out on such a gimme Final, placed at the target center of the J! canon. I mean, it's not like the show has said that other things have been the inspiration for the same work over the past five years or anything...

Did Luigi just get tired of being on Jeopardy! or something? Doubtful. He made a wager that has strategic merit, betting that 2nd would not answer correctly in a category we assume he did not feel strong in. Here's a subjective question about the wager though. Is a player that averaged 49.5 buzz in...
