Re: Monday, December 23, 2019 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Totally brain farted the $200 question. I was thinking second-chance points, logged after an offensive rebound. I'm the daughter of a college basketball player, a player myself in high school and had a brain blip. It happens to the best of us. Also, Draymond is a Spartan, and so am I. So there's that. Context.

I'm shocked that FJ was at all difficult. I think the British aspect thru them off, but that word is insta-recognize for me.

Ran "LL" You Say, all but Ganges in Rivers.
Their Jobs in 2019 for $200 was a dick move.
"Seven Against Thebes" seemed obscure for the top box.
Also NHO Valerie Bertinelli.
There's more than one kind of oriole or jay?!
Recognized the word right away, but needed a couple beats to pull the name. My 2nd grade teacher read a lot of Roald Dahl to the class, but somehow never got to Charlie.
Lach Trash: volleyball, intellectually. Also got "a thousand points of light" and Colossus of Rhodes DDs.

Well, there's also a somewhat famous Colossus of Train Tracks. It doesn't fit the time period, but they still probably want you to know that this is the one of Roads.thenextofken wrote: ↑Mon Dec 23, 2019 7:49 pm Would they have accepted just "Colassus" on the second DD?

delaware native, mostly famous for having starred on the original one day at a time tv series, and was married to eddie van halen (let me guess you are going to channel your inner billie ellish and say you have never heard of van halen?) with that said...i didn't get the bertinelli clue either...did not look like her at all to me and i couldn't even tell what channel the food network is on directv

And if Eric had come up with "A Thousand Points of Light", and been up 17800 to 14400, she still would have won. But I hope she would have known to wager less than $4000 to keep Jason locked out.MarkBarrett wrote: 0/3 on DDs kept scores down while if Robin got her DD3 then she would have locked it at 20400 to 9800. It turned out not to matter as Robin had the sole solve.
Terrible wagers by both Eric and Jason. Eric could thread the needle with a $600 bet to stay above Robin's MSBiW, or force a Tie-Breaker if Jason has the wisdom to go all-in. Jason needed to bet all 5200 to put the pressure on Eric. Fail, fail.

That FBI category might have been too difficult for a Teen Tournament, and maybe even challenging for college students.
I felt the clues were overly easy for regular J! contestants. Identify J. Edgar Hoover from a photo? Show James Earl Ray's mugshots & then spot them an April 1968 assasination? C'mon
BTW: Poll request for coming up with Ted Kaczynski, vs Unabomber
