I can.

Oh come on, do you expect a generic name like THAT to stick in my head? :lol:
I'm not asking for it to stick in your head; I'm asking for due diligence before you post NHOI, so the goofier folks on this board don't wind up excavating your receipts every time. This one was slightly tougher to seek out due to it being a phrase more than a proper name, which is not as easy for the J!Board search function, but Googling the phrase in quotation marks and restricting it to jboard.tv made it a cinch.

The outgoing champ had some trivia savvy but no charm. The leader in the game had excellent trivia savvy but no strategy for the big Clues. Austin has all three. I'll bet the kids really like going to his office.

I agree with others that Savannah's pauses let Armin snatch Victory from the jaws of defeat. It also happened in Thursday's game with the Neapolitan clue.

John Deere is a brand name. The name of the company is Deere & Company. So Deere was a perfectly valid answer.
I'd rather cuddle then have sex. If you're into grammar, you'll understand.

It's too bad he lost, depriving you of the opportunity to go through all five vowels for the second syllable of his name.

Tossing this in here for posterity.

When I was working through my backlog of episodes over the weekend this one was part of it. I was a little surprised by the category
WHAT ELSE SHOULD "IB"? with the clue Abstinence from physical intimacy.

Celibacy was accepted but is wrong from an etymological point of view. It does however fit the category. Celibacy is from Latin caelibatus, from caelebs ‘unmarried’. It appears that people have got it wrong for long enough that now it's taken on the meaning as well. The same category as irregardless I guess. If I'd been there I would either have blurted out chastity or vapor locked for a second deciding between getting the answer right or being pedantic.

Just happens to be one of those things that bug me, like incorrect names for body parts and not knowing the difference between their and they're.
I got the bronze on Jeopardy!
