Emily's total could have been $10K higher if Sarah bet the max on DD3.

Emily did up her total a little above expected with 28600 instead of the cover amount of 26401.

The FJ! clue had me match Emily for correct spelling. I can't claim to know all capitals, but today's is one I locked in years ago. The memory trick that works for me is imagining fat 2s on a stein and licking them. Like all of those type of things, it may not work for anyone else, but it does the job for me.

Matt got busted for not knowing it, but it least it did not cost him anything other than pride.

The J! Fan has the triple stumper count at 11 so that plus a 16400 Coryat has me not ready to picture Emily as someone who will be playing a week from now while others will want to anoint her just because of the larger than normal winning total.

I'm sure at one time I knew Pat's name, but not now.

I had to watch this one on line so I missed bits of the game but FJ was easy since I’ve been to Vaduz. It’s like some crappy town in Alabama or Mississippi but they’ve got awesome stamps. Great game out of the blocks by Emily. It did seem a bit unfair for the BMS on those Browns, former CA gobs.

It's fine if they want to ask for the full names on the father/son governors but the clue really needs to indicate that this is required, as the second row placement would be a strong clue to players that all they need to give is the Browns for credit. Given the requirement for both first names, the valuation is absurd as this is clearly harder than all 3 clues below it.

For some reason, I remembered Pat but blanked on Jerry... :oops: I think Browns should have been enough... :x
I though betimes meant soon, not early...
I knew Vaduz was the capital of one of the tiny L countries, but I wasn't absolutely sure which one. I decided Liechtenstein was overdue...Though I have to admit I spelled it like Roy's last name...

Regina and angina each in the bottom-left of the board in their respective rounds. That can't be a coincidence (though it was a happy one that Emily got to give both of them).

43R. 3/4 on big clues. Missed Angina. I've heard that before so maybe it will stick now.

Emily seemed like a strong contestant and certainly stood out in this game. I'm rooting for anybody who can break the curse. Whatever the curse is now.

Joined Sarah in ringing in and then not knowing Pat's first name. Jerry Brown was before my time until he wasn't. Pat was definitely before my time.

Not familiar with the original Space Ghost incarnation but might have gotten it if they had spotted me Brak and wanted Lost in Space Ghost Coast to Coast. I'm used to calling them mouse tables instead of pizza savers. I've tried a very strong brand of beer called Delirium Tremens and now the name makes more sense to me. Butchered the pronunciation of Ceaușescu.

Hey I know what Dexter means in Latin! Baader-Meinhof every day seems like.

Some clues that I missed that I want to get next time are Memphis Belle (Plane), Flying Scotsman (Train), Bridgerton, Marion Berry, and Gin/Grog Blossoms (affects nose).
I had a dream that I was asleep and then I woke up and Jeopardy! was on.

Not much difference. I’ve been to all the European micro states except for Andorra which was delayed by CV & Monaco.

We can only hope for an FJ about Marion Barry now and hope someone spells it "Berry." They've already set the odd precedent that "Barry" and "Berry" are different names. :roll:

How did Monaco delay your visit to Andorra?
