CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Hope Shinn is a librarian from Silver Spring, Maryland, who at the age of 10 was a Civil War reenactor?
Hope: Yeah. So I've always been really fascinated by history, and actually, especially historical dress. And when I found out my town had a historical reenacting troupe for kids, I joined it, 'cause I really wanted to wear a hoop skirt.
Alex: Oh. And what were you?
Hope: I was a nurse's assistant.
Alex: Oh.
Hope: So I--well, I'm not sure they actually had any 10-year-old girls as nursing assistants, but that's what I wanted to be.
Alex: All right, well, good for you. You succeeded.
Alex: Kristin Philips is from Washington. Had a close-up encounter with penguins. Where did this take place?
Kristin: It happened at the Edinburgh Zoo.
Alex: Ah.
Kristin: I was seven years old, and every day at 1:00 they let the penguins out for a walk. And I had been talking the whole time about "Oh, I can't wait to see this." The day we got there, they were repaving the route, so I sat down and sobbed brokenheartedly just like only a seven-year-old can. The keeper saw me, felt so bad he actually talked to my dad and he took us into the penguin enclosure, my older sister and me. So we actually got to see them up close and personal.
Alex: Good for you.
Alex: Dana Wayne is an educator. She is our champion. Skydived in the Namib Desert?
Dana: So I have spent my entire life terrified of heights and swearing that there is no reason to ever jump out of an airplane. 'Cause there really isn't. But then we--I was on this trip in Africa, and we had the opportunity, and I figured, if there's any point in my life where I'm gonna skydive, I don't want it to be over somewhere not very exciting. It's a much better story if you say you jumped over the Namib Desert.
Alex: And landed not very close to any wild animals, I hope.
Dana: No. Very open sand.
Alex: All right.

Re: Thursday, March 7, 2019 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
DD3 had Kristin at 15600 and Dana at 14600 with five clues worth $5600 remaining. Hope did 9800 + 2000 to get all the way up to...still in 3rd place. Ouch.
Kristin negged both the $1600 and $2000 clues in SIZE IT and compounded it with Hope rebounding both for a big swing on the scoreboard.
The FJ! clue had to go 3/3, so huge advantage leader. That was Dana zooming up with a place on the tracker.
Great game today with all three players in five figures.

Re: Thursday, March 7, 2019 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Ran Mixed Dog Breeds, got all but "every trick in the book", cesium, and Iceland in their categories.
I blanked on Costa Rica yet again. Central American countries are another thing that won't stick no matter how hard I try. But I finally managed to remember which planet is biggest, so... progress?
What was the TOM for New York City in Coins for $200? Lots of cities have skyscrapers, and none of the other words seemed to point to NYC specifically. I almost WAGged Pittsburgh because of metal/steel.
Kerouac = "On the Road" seems to be another one that always slips out of my head when I need it. The same is usually true of Hunter S. Thompson/"Fear and Loathing", but I actually managed to pull that one this time.
Yes, I got "Tiny Toon Adventures". Unlike Animaniacs, I had no issue with TTA.
Old art that has Jesus in it, and a renovation would remove his feet? Let's go with The Last Supper.
Lach Trash: loud and clear

I nearly lost it after that pitiful DD wager, and didn't stop yelling at the TV for a solid minute. Then she finished $400 off the lead, and drew that slam dunk FJ. Justice was served.
Speaking of clear, I'm not sure why they negged "5 by 5" in the first place.
Aside from the reference to the Mohawk people, the Empire State Building was on the coin, clear as day.TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2019 7:28 pm What was the TOM for New York City in Coins for $200?

Re: Thursday, March 7, 2019 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
I would have wagered 3k but she was in third place and anything more than 3,000 would have given <6k after an incorrect response. I think it was like 14k, 12k,9k.xxaaaxx wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2019 7:33 pm I nearly lost it after that pitiful DD wager, and didn't stop yelling at the TV for a solid minute.

I'm from NYC so I've seen that view. haha Also Mohawks were in the clue so that gives you NYC/NJ.
And North Atlantic countries, wouldn't that just leave... two?
Iceland and Greenland.

"Five by five" means "loud and clear," for heaven's sake! Of course it's acceptable.

Dog Breeds played out oddly, got the bottom two while not getting the first three.
Jeers to the contestants for running away from Native Americans.
Art was way too general a category to precall, but the writers served up another softball FJ.

it was worse than that. The clue asked for a North Atlantic "island nation" (which eliminates the Danish territory of Greenland) - whose language doesn't use all the letters of the English alphabet (which eliminates any any possible confusion about Great Britain / Ireland). The clue was way overvalued at $2K.
I recognized the Chrysler Building, and not just the ESB, on the Mohawk coin.

I think that's the response that Kristin originally said aloud without ringing in. Alex had to tell her to ring in, then she rang in and gave an "incorrect" response of "5 by 5" (now said twice) which Alex was quick to give a "No" to without consulting the PTB.

She repeated "What is 5 by 5?"...Maybe like me, they had to look it up. It was completely unfamiliar to me, and I've spent some time in radio stations, where it apparently originates.jpr281 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2019 9:36 pmI think that's the response that Kristin originally said aloud without ringing in.

Then again, what do I know? I flubbed that DD with Little Big Lies.
Gotta say, I didn't expect Kristin to come up with Social D.

You're right. I saw a reference to radio and made an assumption. It looks like it's used with the 2-way kind...I knew someday I'd regret that I never watched that TV show...Volante wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2019 10:33 pmI thought it came from the military.

Good game today. Champ is playing good.
Yes on FJ. Had to think of a famous painting where Jesus' feet were visible... and only came up with one.

I could have sworn she said "five by five by five" but since everyone else thinks she said just "five by five" I'm assuming I misheard it.
edit: I did. What I heard as "five, five, five" was actually "five by five." Maybe Alex made the same mistake and that's why she was negged initially.
