$2600 + FJ! and clammed on BB for $1600. Negged on Kurtz for minus 2000. 1/3 on DDs. My Coryat did not beat the 28,400 of the players. I would have fit in just fine in this game along with any of the other two actual contestants.

Missed Deepfake the first time, got it the second time, missed it the third time. :oops:

Did not expect Fancy Free to poll that low.

$9800 plus FJ. Includes a neg of $2000 for Kurtz.

Clammed on the Chicken salad, Google books, deepfakes, got the rest except the neg on the Congo.

Google (I think that was all that was needed; Mayim's "Books" was superfluous), Georgia, an Angry God, Cartagena, a neg with Joe for Jim, Billy Budd, a clam on Fancy Free, and gallium for $5,800; my FJ get wins me the game. I couldn't come up with "quiet desperation" in time (I knew it was "quiet [bad thing]"), and calling "deepfake" a portmanteau rubs me the wrong way, even though the J! writers aren't the first to do so.

Only got Georgia and Gallium, so no.

Never knew deepfake was a portmanteau.

$10,600 +FJ. Feel like I should have had deepfake as well, I've heard enough about them lately...
I 'll just add that, even more than bad wagering, I'm continually frustrated by how players run away from Daily Doubles. Just because you were stumped by the previous clue in That Book Character..., don't sulk by swerving up to another category (or sometimes, the top of the same category!), then leave the category uncompleted till the end of the game. I don't care that the Daily Double wasn't at That Book Character...$2000. It could have been!

I don't think that was a good description of what a deepfake is.

Thinking it might be contrasted with a "shallow fake," I've always considered it more of compound word than a portmanteau.

$8200 + FJ.

DJ9 made me do a bit of a double take before answering "Jim," since I seem to remember the character was introduced as "N-word Jim," at least in editions published in the 1950s. I don't think Huck referred to him as "just plain" Jim in the first few chapters.

Not true. Twain certainly uses the word, but not as an appellation. Project Gutenberg has the edition from 1885.

Misrembering strikes again. Perhaps it time for a reread. Thanks for the link.
