What was the TOM for "judo" on You Gotta Fight for $200? I almost WAGged "karate" because I felt it was "go for the obvious" enough, but nope. Ran Language of Like, but was 0/5 in You Gotta Fight! "Show trial" was my only miss in European History, surprisingly. Blah blah Asia blah blah elephant = In...

Was anyone else thrown for a loop on "It's where the sub-zero goes"? Sub-zero + room led me to "walk-in freezer", which I couldn't quite justify as a "room" and I couldn't for the life of me backtrack to "freezers are usually in a kitchen".

I thought the Room category was very poorly pinned. I almost said "walk-in freezer" at $200, I have no idea how "war room" BMSes to "situation room" (not like I've heard of either anyway), and almost WAGged "library" at $800. Also NHO "vestry" to my knowledge. -2/5 in Templeton Prize. Guessed Pulitz...

My son played baseball as a kid with a boy named Cain. Not sure why you would name your son after a person who murdered his brother.

Pantheon was unfamiliar to me.

I totally failed to process "Brazil" in the clue. I guess two keywords is my limit, since that's at least the second time this week where I've choked on a three-keyword clue.

Ran Places of Substance. I also said Darwin on the DD. Worst miss: I had "has lion in the name" + inventor. "Leonard" was in my head and I still couldn't shift gears to Leonardo da Vinci. Hate misses like that. There were two Jameses? How was coffee "obvious" on Potpourri for $800? No guess on FJ! "...

Ran A Shrubbery! and Word Words. 20/30 right in J! was pretty good. Didn't do quite as well in DJ!, but still had a $24,200 Coryat. Film Composition was my only 0/5. "Blah blah blah giant blah blah mollusk" = giant squid, right? Oops, that said bivalve too. Grumble. No guess on FJ! other than "Not P...

It would be cool if a member of the Gordy family would weigh in on on social media on their understanding of the name

As long as it's not either member of LMFAO, I'm fine with this.

I got The Sun Also Rises, Thomas Rhett, Old Dominion, Kelsea Ballerini, and litmus.

Emory Gordy Jr.

Why am I actually surprised that this namedrop came from someone other than me?

Have seen Ballerini on numerous TV things. Like Hammer and blonde actresses, sometimes the country singers blend together for me. It's easy. Kelsea Barbiedollerini is the 27-year-old who acts like a horny 15-year-old and spends all her songs slobbering over boys. Think of her as version 2.0 of Carl...

Curious to see how this one shaped up... $400: In 2017 Keith Urban & this "American Idol" rocked the house with "The Fighter" $800: The son of country singer Rhett Akins, he was the 2018 winner for Male Artist of the Year $1200: In 2017 Luke Bryan, Dierks Bentley & Joe Walsh performed "Johnny B. Goo...

Had a terrible J! round with lots of negs and clams, but did MUCH better in DJ! Yes, I ran ACM Awards. And 6-Letter Words. Also proud of myself for finally getting Lord of the Flies . 0/5 on European History. Stayed clam for fear of missing the Norway/Sweden coinflip, and not a tiny bit of recogniti...

But does she read the "noosepaper?" Not that I've noticed, but she does say "sundy" for both Sunday and sundae. The "onsweet tea" one is a bit interesting... What's weird is that most of our customers seem to be about 50/50 on saying "hambugger" or "hamburg". Same thing with "cheesebugger" vs. "che...

Anyone else consider Rick and Morty at TV Shows 1600, with "Rick" in the clue? I almost did but stayed clam. Thankfully it kept me primed to give it when it actually was the correct response. My worst guess was probably going Jewish + comedy + TV = seinfeld . Only off by a lot. Funny you should use...

The Barry/Berry ruling reminds me of this ruling on Password Plus back in the 80s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8Rlrx-AQbQ I pronounce those two words the same. But the word the players said (hairy) is not the word they were going for (Harry). My clue would have been “Truman”. I've seen the jud...

So since they're only picking Californians for now, I imagine that however long a wait exists for us out-of-staters in the pool will not count against the 18 months either?

So is Ken the new Clue Crew? If the audiovisual clues are like that, then I won't mind them as an occasional feature. Also nice to see Ken dial down the cockiness in delivering them. That said, I completely bombed the category. No guess on the first two, and then chickened out on $600 and $800. I jo...
