There's always a loud background noise, and not having the text on the screen means I usually go 0-for-5. Think I figured out one of them this time. The clue presenters are nice to look at, I guess, but this whole video clue thing I wish would just go away - at least until they can figure out how to match the background audio properly.
I'm getting better about saying, "not another ----ing video category" every time it comes up, to the relief of Mrs. Anachronism. Of course, that does nothing for those New York Times reporter categories, where at least you have text on the screen, but it's, "Hi, I'm Daenerys Targaryen of the New York Times, the First of Her Name, Queen of Meereen, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, called Daenerys Stormborn, the Unburnt, Mother of Dragons... oh, and here's the question...
