Re: Friday, March 15, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

Can anyone figure out what he was going for? If you ignore Ben and are focusing only on the leader's score, if Troy makes the likely wager and misses, then Yogesh bet just enough to beat him by a dollar on a get. But not looking at 3rd's doubled score is a pretty glaring error. And really there is ...

That wager by Yogesh was a choice.
A choice I don’t understand.

Re: LL 100

I’m in fifth place for defense but 22/26 overall and the bottom five get kicked to the basement. Not having a great defense so I just got it over with and played Monday as well today. Probably need at least three points out of the last two games to stay in D.

I wag'd South Africa just to say something. Same. I figured it had to be the southern hemisphere, but couldn't think of which Secretary it would be. Certainly something worth studying a bit as there have only been nine. Sec-Gens should definitely be on your short list study guide if you get the cal...

Re: Reretaken Down

Not wanting to bog down the pre-emption thread with further discussion of my state’s politics, I thought I’d share this in response to alietr’s comment.

If you are in the West there will not be a game show airing at 7.

KGO is showing WoF then J! at 10.
For those who watched the SOTU response, she is the smarter of our two senators.

I matched Ike for FJ with Spartans. But in his spot I’m betting zero so I’m a TOC finalist!!!

I got this right away from the description although I thought Prometheus was human. I spent most of the time trying to decide if I would admit on the board I wrote down an element that didn’t exist.

Nice job by Ben. I enjoyed his original run and I am glad he will continue.

Being an arcane political trivia geek paid off to nail an instaget FJ. Fong I have vaguely heard of so I assumed the other guy was from Alaska.

Re: Fun with Fox's "The Floor"

The final was rather anticlimactic. I guess he thought she had been preparing for foods and might have a better shot at fashion. He pretty much had to keep going the whole time he had control because nearly everyone who could be randomized would have been forced to pick him. I wasn’t surprised she w...

Definitely disappointed by the outcome. I was expecting Cris to at least make it to the semifinals, but guess this wasn't meant to be. At least we had super-champions with 19+ wins make it to the semifinals in past ToC's (e.g. David Madden, Julia Collins*, James Holzhauer**, Jason Zuffranieri, and ...

Re: J! in the Media

I thought the vast majority of that article was, to put it in industry terms, dead on balls accurate. But, it is certainly within one's rights to pass on an interview where you don't agree with the premise. What I will find interesting is that once regular games start, if the average number of post...
