...and here I thought Belize was the non-Mexico gimme that everyone would get. Hm.

Instaget FJ. What is it with the wagers from 1st this week?

So Michonne went into FJ with the lead, got FJ right, and lost. I could spend a week criticizing that wager, but why bother? The result speaks for itself.

Instaget FJ. We're all too young? Shush, Alex, there's this thing called reruns.

Cursed under my breath at the category, but 1952 musical with a watery iconic scene? I can do that. Instaget FJ.

Assuming this passes and we're not still dealing with the outbreak deep into April, I could see them giving everyone a week or so of extended ST with a 144-ish game sched starting ~May 1st. Which 18 games they'd cancel are anyone's guess (they still need tons of interleague, with the odd number of t...

Is The Rock any part Tahitian?

American/Canadian/Samoan, from what I can find.

That's one harsh ruling. It's fair, though. I'm sure you'd agree they wouldn't take, "What is 100 10-millions?", so they can't take any other similar restatement of the problem. I decided to search the archive for similar rulings, and this popped up: Show #5719 - Thursday, June 18, 2009 THE BRITISH...

He's back! Iain Armitage presented a clue. Did they kidnap that kid? How many freaking clues did they record? :lol: Hit a DD down 5 grand? Bet 2k. Take an $800 lead anyway late in the game? Call a $1600 clue. I know I know, in the heat of the moment they aren't staring at the scoreboard, but it's a...

I'm having trouble making 'apex' fit that DD clue, which, despite Alex's comments during the reversal, seemed pretty clear to me. But I'm not an astronomer. The miss I saw coming instantly was the party to go with Democratic-Republicans as it was only a matter of which contestant was going to say Wh...

Ova = Eggs. Kids' book with "egg" in the title? Uh... "virent" sounds like verde/veridian/green, so let's do Green Eggs and Ham.

Ditto. I am curious what the exact, literal translation of the Latin title is (probably nothing more interesting than 'green eggs! green ham!!').

That was almost Ryan Fenster-esque for Bruce, yet it ended in a lock anyway. We'll see if he's got a few games in him. Workers + spreading the gospel around the world? FJ was such an instaget that I spent 20 seconds wondering if there was a trick I was missing, like maybe 1919 pointing to war or the...

Not doing too badly but sheesh, all the answers I thought for sure would sheep have been singletons/unused so far (on the opposite end, that Jan Hooks/Smithers combo was incredible). Never change, TD

Middle East + Cedar shouldn't be a FJ. I did spend 20 seconds mumbling "Lebanon had a space program!?" to myself over and over, but I don't know much about their history.

One of these days I'll actually get a Ray Donovan clue right.

New York minute a TS, eh? Hmph. Bunch of scrubs I tell ya

Had Rachel, but not Leah. Meh.

90% sure the first time I encountered "it was a dark and stormy night" was an episode of Star Trek but I can't remember which one.

If you had asked me to bet on whether Terry, who spent most of the first round in the red, seemed nervous and hesitant all game, and pissed me off by placing Crown Heights in Queens, would go TDD in that spot, I would've bet the house on "no way in hell" and lost my shirt. Holy crap. Instaget FJ to ...

Just when I was thinking "oh cool, Kristyna didn't make the usual all-in suicide wager!", here comes Danyelle's nonsensical wager. Somewhere, someone watching at home will think to themselves "if only Kristyna had bet it all!" *sigh* Though I'd have a lot more sympathy for her if she hadn't bet 1000...

Instaget FJ for this sports fan. I wonder if they recognized the Queensbury rules after the reveal. Not making the leap to boxing or from nobleman to Marquess in 30 seconds isn't that surprising. And neither was Gauravi's wager. *sigh*
