The way this game was going set up an interesting possibility. If the other two players finish in the red, James could easily go all in on FJ thinking that it would be a win regardless - but if he misses on that FJ and winds up with zero he would not return, right? That would be quite a way to go out.

Yeah, he seems just like a guy who didn't even check the rules of the game before somehow stumbling on the stage.harrumph wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2019 8:12 pm The way this game was going set up an interesting possibility.

It's a bit of an obscure rule and I was raising more as an amusing possibility.

The Geography ones have been so easy during James' run. I think I've only missed one since he started. East Neighbor or Mountains. Clingman's Dome/Chisholm Trail are the ones that may take a moment but Sun Valley is such a common ski resort nowadays. It's like Jackson Hole #2 in that part of the country.
Congrats of 2 MM win but I'm getting tired of the fake smiles. Hope he gets knocked out by a one-timer so there's no Part Two.

I can never get prune as a verb in my mind. It's such a prune.

Idaho + Bright... uhhhhhhhhh....... uh.... Oh! Sun Valley, that's in Idaho, right? After so many clues where I've just stared blankly, this one felt good to get right.

I confess I missed Pharaoh because I thought they wanted a specific name. At least I remembered the word "pharaoh" when it actually won me something...

you know all of that, but didn't know pretty woman was a movie?

He could break Ken’s record next week by averaging $91,034 per game.

I'll be honest, I didn't know the answer but Pitbull was the first to pop in my head.CasketRomance wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2019 8:45 pm still trying to figure out bow wow and pitbull came to the minds of the challengers before snoop dog
I thought we were going to see something special after the J! round with James setting a record and the other 2 contents doing abysmally in comparison. By not getting any of the Daily Doubles in DJ! it shows how much luck does play a role in this game. He was well on his way to smashing the one-day total again.

And we're back to the new normal. Nate, Nate, Nate...
Easy FJ, 5/5 for the week. I thought pruning hooks was an easy DD.

Phonetic mispronunciations are acceptable. If you pronounce it how it's spelled, you're good.CasketRomance wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2019 8:44 pmbut it is not...i have seen other mispronunciations penalizedBamaman wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2019 8:43 pmBecause it could reasonably be pronounced that way.CasketRomance wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2019 8:39 pm why was the pronunciation of dr. dree accepted for dr. dre?

That was a rough one, wasn't it? Not something you're likely to guess if you don't know it. I thought Sam's guess of "rake" was decent. I agree it would have been interesting to see James get this clue. I got it right, so that must mean I went to a better seminary than Ironhorse.
