Courtney had a huge lead at 17600 with 7 clues worth $11,200 remaining including DD3. Courtney was not heard from again for the rest of the round. Did she have the game "in the bag" and laid off? Did Courtney not have success with buzzer or knowledge for the remainder of the round? It's very hard to evaluate Courtney as I'm still not sure what I'm seeing each game.

In seven games Courtney has two locks, two firsts, two thirds and a second entering the FJ! round. From the previous ToC Karen and Jennifer both had their only non-lead positions with 2nds in their final game 9s. MacKenzie had a 2nd in game 6 and a 3rd entering the FJ! round in her game 9.

The other players with more than one trailing position:
Paul - 3 2nds
Sarah - a 3rd & a 2nd
Andy - 3 2nds

None of those players with more than one trailing notch made it to week 2.

The FJ! clue seemed better suited for a DD as I expected a 3/3 as soon as the clue was revealed. Where did Laura go to college? Her $0 looked like it had some claw marks included perhaps as a nod to a different school?

It's nice to reset the clock for all of the months of counting over lack of 4x, 5x, superchamp, 6-figures in winnings... These kinds of things happen when they happen. There is a lot more to the show than just hyper-focusing on the champ's spot.

Suggested poll question: I omitted (or would have omitted) the "the" when writing my response

I'd think either works.

I personally like to say THE :roll: Ohio State University,

To be sure. Not so much a question of whether one is worried about acceptability, as whether one prefers to troll the "THE"-ers.

Alas, cannot draw an animated eyeroll emoticon on the FJ! entry screen

THE game is in: https://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=7074

CC laugh of the day was DJ4 with "disability" instead of "this ability".

Courtney had "THE" in her response and yes, I'll poll it. I kept it simple with no "the" of any kind and no "University".

DJ27 Sanjay said, "Yes, well take it." What was he expecting for that one?

I don't use the "The" when people ask me where I got my first degree from. My understanding is that during the Great Depression, the other public universities in Ohio that received state money (note that the University of Cincinnati was only funded by the city of Cincinnati and tuition fees at the time, so they kept their graduate schools) had to relinquish their graduate school to Ohio State, and only got them back after the post-WWII GI college boom. The "The" came from them being the only true state university at the time.

Probably, his paper said "carpal bones".

Instaget FJ, breaking my drought. The only other school I could see possibly doing that would be The U.

Taking a look at the OSU "Notice of Opposition" to Marc Jacobs's similar application, I believe that the word should be capitalized "THE" in the clue. If only I knew where to find an intellectial property lawyer who could confirm or deny.

The clue read "Everyone's a" this. So no.
I don't really know why "The Ohio State University" is a thing, so I had no impulse to make anybody feel better by including it.

Ooph!

My only idea in FJ was the Citadel. I must have missed a story somewhere.

Carpi was my answer for the wrist bones, though I had no doubt "carpals" was ok.

I was right with "critic" on the bagpipes clue, but I didn't really get it. Dr. Gupta may be a brilliant bagpiper for all I know.

Anyone else with "cybercafe" for Americana $1000?
I'm smart and I want respect.

No prayer on Final or that dura mater DD. Multiple hits in the archive include "Latin for 'hard mother'" as a clue

NoDoz - caffeine a TS? jeez

I missed earth science in school - didn't realize coal was a mineral but I got there anyway

Somehow came up with "shedding hair" on that first African American clue :oops:

I would have been sorely tempted to go with "... an Ohio State University?"

FJ:. What is "The" Ohio State University? :mrgreen:

Watching the challengers crash out on the Daily Doubles was painful to hear & see. :(

It isn't a mineral! It is also combustible, not flammable.
