I was thinking of what actual heavenly body precedes the sun and went with Venus.

Re: Thursday, December 29, 2022 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
The first one I like, but I wonder if the judges would accept something like "comida de el mar" for "comida del mar". For the second, the apostrophe gets pronounced as a schwa because that's the vowel sound it represents in Hebrew transliteration. It's meant to be pronounced. I'm not sure the apostrophe in Italian works the same way.seaborgium wrote: ↑Thu Dec 29, 2022 11:17 pmMy feeling about it is that the apostrophe is only there to elide consecutive a's, so pronouncing them both is okay if your glottis can handle it. My other feeling about it is that there are examples of apostrophes getting pronounced as schwas (I'm thinking mostly of Hebrew transliterations like b'nai), so I could give her that leeway too.opusthepenguin wrote: ↑Thu Dec 29, 2022 9:19 pm Rachel pretty clearly said "Commedia della arte" for DJ1 and I was worried she'd get smacked with a reversal. But either the judges didn't hear it that way or decided to treat it as a stutter. Or maybe it's permissible in Italian to expand the contraction?

I know it doesn't work that way in Italian; I'm just saying it works that way for something and I can accept her pronunciation on that basis. Kind of like the way I can deal with "Leopold and Leeb" being accepted for Leopold and Loeb, based on how oe is pronounced in some Greek-derived English words, even though "Loeb" itself is not Greek.opusthepenguin wrote: ↑Fri Dec 30, 2022 4:03 amThe first one I like, but I wonder if the judges would accept something like "comida de el mar" for "comida del mar".

I had them both, but it would have been a coin toss if I needed just one or the other.

The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

That made me laugh.
Yeah. I heard that and wondered.Rachel pretty clearly said "Commedia della arte" for DJ1 and I was worried she'd get smacked with a reversal. But either the judges didn't hear it that way or decided to treat it as a stutter. Or maybe it's permissible in Italian to expand the contraction?

Lead a 10-time champ going into FJ? Yeah, we will likely see Emily again. I keep saying this to myself with a lot of Ray’s competitors. He has faced some strong challengers.

Rachel had a 50/50 shot on one clue in rings of dragons but picked the wrong one allowing Emily to rebound. I thought we would have a new champion but Emily struggled in final jeopardy.
