Tongue-tipped on Ms. Sullivan. Needed the intonation on Dracula.

Re: FJs for the 12/2/13 week
Mon - Spoiled on contestant answers NKOTB due to spastic DVR which led me not to pick what my brain slightly hinted at... "Wilson Phillips" (Didn't change because I had no idea Wilson Phillips was even a band...I think I picked it up from MST3K or Family Guy, so no frame of reference)
Wed - Hong Kong, flipped the years.
Fri - Spluh.

Re: FJs for the 12/2/13 week
M: Couldn't even pull out a guess . Makes perfect sense in hindsight, but I think I would have needed some reference to relatives to get on the right track (I was trying to think of groups that sang in that style).
T: GIF is better than JPEG, but only if you think of both.
W: I really thought Hong Kong was 1999. Lesson learned. The painful way.
Th: Got Method Acting; never knew it was Russian or came from Stanislavsky.
F: "Who is Mrs. John Wilkes Booth Queen Victoria?" 2 seconds to spare!
Only knew Tuileries as a palace, not a garden.
Poll needed a third option: I didn't get "Dracula" even with Alex's Transylvania voice.
There are times I almost think I am not sure of what I absolutely knooooooooo-OW

That's the option of not checking either box. Like me.jkbrat wrote:Poll needed a third option: I didn't get "Dracula" even with Alex's Transylvania voice.

...but the senator, while insisting he was not intoxicated, could not explain his nudity.
If I had 50 cents for every math question I got right, I'd have $6.30 by now.

For me: no, yes, yes, yes, no
New Kids on the Block on Monday just to write something, not expecting it to be right. Got the correct response eventually, but it took me about 31 or 32 seconds.
"Mrs. Booth" on Friday just to write something, not expecting it to be right. I'm not surprised that this polled low. I think it was tricky, but not unfair. Like many other people, I failed to make the leap from the US to other countries, and I also failed to make the leap to wives who were more famous than their husbands.
Friday's FJ was one where you might have more success if you just forget everything. Who was a woman in the 1860s who might have written to a presidential relative?

Re: FJs for the 12/2/13 week
Alex's Dracula voice gave me a clue I would have missed otherwise.
I'm not much of a techie, said imag for the computer FJ. Landed in Hong Kong on Wednesday and said method acting. No chance on the book, had it been a DD, I'd have said "What is Snoopy's book?". Thought Victoria was simple.
For the season:
33-27
Longest FJ winning streak: 5 (active 2)
Longest FJ losing streak: 3
Teacher tournament: 6-4
5/5: 0
4/5: 2
3/5: 5
2/5: 5
1/5: 0
0/5: 0

Hong Kong
I ended up clamming on Dracula because I was dithering between it and Nosferatu. I just realized that Nosferatu is a silent film so duh.
Method acting
I knew Bulwer-Lytton but not the title.
I liked Friday's FJ despite not getting it--it provoked a reaction of, "Yeah, that makes sense."

Monday was either Back Street Boys or N'Sync - I've put it out of my mind, thankfully. Jpeg on Tuesday! I had both Method and Stanislavski.
Never knew the title of the B.-L. work.
Brain fail on the Dracula clue, with accent or without.
