Yay, ten days of seeing The Thinker doing the dab. Makes me laugh every time.

Well, that did not take long. Clue 1 had Teagan give an unexpected response and get negged for it. Ryan rebounded it and later Alex had to give Teagan a correct response as well.

The players raced through the clues and nice job as always by Alex to keep up. My mind and pen were moving quickly as well to stay with the pace.

Tough break for Stephanie on DD1 and definitely bottom box level. I was close but had -matic instead of -nomic. Time will tell if Stephanie's 13999 is enough for a WC. I will be adding a 1992 Teen game later this morning with 8300 (old values) not enough for a wildcard slot.

That FJ! clue should have been 3/3 and the teens did not disappoint. I paid my dues for it years ago as I read Gallows Hill by Lois Duncan.

Using the break to make sure I could recall the states, their capitals and borders quickly, turned out to be unnecessary work. My fear of one of those MONTpelier, VerMONT type clues was not in play today.

Great start to the tournament and easy to see why J! needed a second tournament.

Well, the local kid didn't win it, but he's in it. Glad to see.

NHO either of those mounts in $600, "ergonomic" recliner, or Aly Raisman.

Also didn't recognize anything in the "Good" category. Not even the voice of Judy Hopps. Doesn't look like she's been in anything else particularly notable, either.

I've never heard of those red-white-and-blue popsicles being called firecrackers. i've always called them Bomb Pops.

Witchcraft = Salem. I expected a triple get.

I suspect this FJ will poll somewhere around 100%. :lol:

Very impressed with Teagan and Ryan, especially considering how young both are. I could barely scrape 50 right playing at home when I was a senior! Best of luck to (hopefully) both of them next week.

This time I'm with you. That's the first time I can remember going 0-for-5 in a category where there was something in quotes.

Ditto

Instaget FJ. Been to Salem (which, aside from the obvious, has a really good museum in the Peabody Essex), nice place.

I felt that way about the Viral Challenges category. Well, I'm familiar with Matilda so I figured that one out, and I've heard of the Mannequin challenge but not of Black Beatles by Rae Sremmurd... :roll: :roll: The Charlie challenge??

I too know of Bomb Pops but not Firecracker brand popsicles.

I got 3/5 in the "GOOD" category--The Good Place, Ginnifer Goodwin, and The Good Dinosaur. For Goodwin I didn't remember the character from Zootopia or that Goodwin had played her. I just recognized her as the actress from Once Upon a Time and knew her name. ZERO chance on "Too Good at Goodbyes" and "Goodbye and Good Riddance". The teens definitely had the upper hand there.

And I must protest that Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge does NOT put a period at the end of her signature. Good heavens! She uses a full stop.

If TPH thinks an actor isn't notable, that's a sign that they're notable: Ginnifer Goodwin was one of the wives on "Big Love," and was then Snow White on the surprisingly long-lived "Once Upon a Time." But I remember her best from "Ed," where she played the girl Justin Long's character should have been romancing.

Congrats to Teagan for her victory. All three teens did very well today, and I hope Ryan will still make it into the semifinals as his performance was very good as well.

I feel as though the WOF puzzle constructors should lurk here, if only to troll TPH every so often by turning his NHOs into puzzles.

Parnassus and Helicon. Just about everyone other than TPH would recognize them as Greek names whether or not they've actually heard of those specific mountains.

Just a couple hours before we watched this J! episode, my daughter and I leafed through a "Short Hairstyles" magazine as we discussed a summer haircut. When we encountered the full-page feature on Ginnifer's notable pixie hairdo, I pointed out that "this lady is the the voice of that rabbit police officer in Zootopia." It was hilarious to exchange smirks when that clue came up later.

I know there's another thread for this, but maybe I can help you out a little bit. Snow White was this pretty girl who lived with seven short dudes in the woods (it was totally platonic, though). She ended up bailing on them and moving in with a good-looking rich guy (with whom I assume things were not platonic). Good story.
