Matt did not hear many of us repeating the correct response to DD1 that sent him back to scratch. Coupled with a lack of boxing knowledge had Matt in the red to end the J! round. One stumper in Ali had me smiling since his son is currently in the BB23 house.
Three clues into the DJ! round Matt had the lead.
Emily hinted that she buys her dad an annual subscription to LL. For Emily I see she has seasons in E, D & C with no taste of B or higher yet.
The FJ! category had me fearing my LL weakness of .302 in Current Events.
The FJ! clue had me able to connect the dots from Urdu to place of language to famous name to match the players, but only after a short young person climate detour.
Far from Matt's best game though still a runaway and nice payday.
Jinx or destiny. No has ever lost game 22 - 32 in this history of J! regular play. Small set of course.

Can we get "My response included Malala's last name" as a poll choice? (I didn't.)

Wasn’t sure if they want it first or last name or both so just to be safe I wrote ملالہ یوسفزئی.

My dream of sweeping the Richards era crashed and burned as nothing came to me on FJ. Even after the reveal I drew a blank as I have no memory of her story. Maybe next week’s host can suggest a brain boosting pill.

Fixed, thanks. I copied what was on the website (they could do better with punctuation marks there) and when I saw the correct name on the show forgot to change it by the time it was over.Bamaman wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 5:11 pm ...

Not gonna lie, I was sweating a bit on Matt's behalf after the first half.
This was the first FJ I've got this season, and I would have written Malala Yousafzai to be safe.

Re: Thursday, September 16, 2021 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Poor Emily! She really had a shot for a while there. Have we ever seen Matt in the red before this? At the very least we've never seen him in the red at the end of the SJ round.
"To consume, or a live video signal" and they want "feed"? Anyone here use consume as a synonym for feed?
I didn't understand what was numeric about the PRIME NUMBERS category. My pre-call of "What is 23?" wasn't in that ballpark.
Can't believe none of them knew "slow as molasses in January." Consarn it, I'm not that old, am I?
I got all three DDs but choked on FJ. I said "Thunberg" just to say something.

"Numbers" in this case means "songs." So I think the category was asking for songs that mention the word "prime" somewhere. (I can't say for sure without the J-Archive for reference.)opusthepenguin wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 7:14 pm I didn't understand what was numeric about the PRIME NUMBERS category.
For FJ!, I wrote "Yousafzai" only, without Malala.
My lucky numbers are 6, 66, and 666.

Same here. I'm sure I've heard the name before, but had no idea who she is or what she did.I got all three DDs but choked on FJ. I said "Thunberg" just to say something.

Abbreviated CC, I said displacement. Judges?
I'd rather cuddle then have sex. If you're into grammar, you'll understand.

Sorry, that's gonna be a no from me. cc is a unit of measure.

I will admit to having missed it. I know who Malala is, but she just didn't come to mind within 30 seconds.

43R. 4/4 on big clues. I didn't actually say Christopher before Matt said the answer but I'm sure I would have gotten it so I'll count it.
Missed Texas and said Oklahoma, got it on the rebound, missed Frasier and said Foreman, missed Zurich and said Vienna.
I got Spinks but didn't get Leon Spinks and probably wouldn't have. I'm counting it anyway. They didn't give a BMS for Clinton a while back (DeWitt Clinton/George Clinton). Not really sure if they would have given a BMS.
I figured the month phrase was alliterative and I wasn't sure if they were going for March or May so I didn't try to ring in. Not sure if that's overthinking or underthinking.
Some clues that I missed that I want to get next time are cubic centimeters, photography, Amstel, Alexandra, and the Black Keys.
Thankfully I did not ring in with Ali G, Bruno, or Borat for the Alexandra clue.

Oh, we've moved on from Greta Thunberg now? Guessed the successor to the Dalai Lama. Total NHOI on this activist du jour.
