10/10

Missed hot rollers (no idea), Nevada (clammed, but guessed California) and tax (couldn’t come up with anything I was confident in).

I’m most surprised that House managers is polling so low.

Can you elaborate on the significance of this a little? Was there a problem of a domineering sponsor dictating what should happen on the show? Yes, that was a big part of what led to the scandals -- the sponsor putting direct pressure on the producers. Did they dislike Stempel specifically? The rat...

:( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :| :( :| Had Federalist Papers for Monday. Jumped to Connecticut immediately on Friday (?!?) before realizing my mistake and getting to Vermont quickly. I checked the first box for SFR, but I don’t know that either apply since I knew the Robinson Crusoe con...

Thanks for the game and the reveal.

Said Grant just to say something on Monday.

The corrects were all instagets or close enough. I knew Wednesday’s was the Percy Jackson guy, but never bothered to commit Riordan’s name to memory.

Same with Sinclair Lewis, much more egregious.

I wasn’t paying too much attention to the scores when DD3 came up, but looking back now...ye gods. Might have legitimately cost himself $100k with that wager.

England + engine + famous duo = quick get for me. Finally had a decent night after a miserable week.

Coryat: $26,000 DD: 3/3 FJ: :mrgreen: A night to forget after a string of $40Ks in the College Tournament. Couldn’t get my brain in gear for whatever reason, and the disjointed play didn’t help. +1 looking for a ruling on idiom. With scores so low, if I’m Ben I’m YOLOing it on FJ. I guess he thought...

Checked no other boxes.

Clam on the architecture clue, couldn’t pull Gehry but knew for sure it wasn’t FLW.

Not even the slightest bit of a WAG on FJ! I pored over this clue for a good five minutes and nothing stuck out as a TOM at all. What even WAS the tipoff, anyway?! You needed to make the connection that her grandmother’s last name was also the last name of the protagonist in To Kill a Mockingbird .

Auditioned twice so far (2014 and 2017). Passed two other times without a response (2016 and one other time I don’t remember).

Hearst for Friday. Had to think a minute for Wednesday, but realized AB was too far west to border Nunavut.

Didn’t know the miniskirt-Mini Cooper connection previously, but seemed like a reasonable guess.

Lol me with the typo for Q3 (EO instead of FO). And it would’ve aced too!

No guess for Wednesday. Eisenhower on Friday.

My wife got the Ringling Causeway clue, but I was blank.

Coryat: $36,800 (47R, 1W) DD: 3/3 FJ: :mrgreen: instaget FJ, having travelled a decent bit in that part of the world. I was stunned at some of the answers, tbh. Also negged with San Fernando Valley. Had MTA for Police Squad $800 — judges? While I was happy for Susan, selfishly, I don’t want to see h...

Coryat: $31,400 (45R, 2W) DD: 3/3 FJ: :( Not a great game for me. Misses were Socrates on He Said It $800 (misread the clue) and moving pictures for talking pictures on __ing __ $2000, same as Nick. FJ was never coming, I’ve heard of the Lend-Lease Act maybe twice in my life, but know nothing about ...

Coryat: $37,800 (43R, 1W)
DD: 3/3
FJ:

Nice going, Nick! How nervous were you when you saw the FJ category? I know I cringed when I saw it on my couch
