AFRICAN CAPITALS Streets in this city include Calle 3 de Agosto and Avenida Hassan II What is Malabo? (Equatorial Guinea is the only Spanish-speaking country in Africa) what is the significance of those streets? Creo que la idea es que las palabras "Calle", "Agosto", y "Avenida" son de espanol. Bin...

Right composer, wrong opera (The Marriage of Figaro). I never made the Don Giovanni <-> Don Juan connection before but will not make this mistake again.

I could've done without Alex throwing shade at the entire home viewing audience during his opening remarks. For some reason that rubbed me the wrong way. "CLASSIC BRITISH NOVELS' anchored me to novels taking place in Britain so that particular quote did not lead me to any useful associations given t...

Should have gotten FJ as I am very familiar with the term, but instead I could not get "manifestation" out of my head. And really, except for the whole derived-from-Sanskrit thing, it is not too bad.

Incidentally, the quote "Stella! Hey Stella!" is on the list, so it was a good guess...except for the 1951 part. If it hadn't been a decade off, and they hadn't given the years, it would be cheap, because most people just go "Stellaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" when remembering the quote. (Or, at least, that's ho...

"Lawn gnomes." Judges? --Bob This one at-home judge says take: garden gnomes (that's what Elise & Joyee had) gnomes (can't be ruled incorrect since "Garden" was in category name) lawn gnomes (nothing makes "Lawn" incorrect added information) and I'm sure there are other variations of the response t...

I don't understand the calls for a 15-player tournament. We just had one in the spring and it would essentially end up being the same thing except replacing someone with James.

Elise played with a lot of intensity and I'm curious to see if she can sustain it over the course of a full taping day.

"MIS"INFORMATION for $2k:
It can be a collection of writings by different authors, or a mixture of various items

I said mish-mash. Judges?

61 clues again and definitely there would have been clues left in this same kind of game at the beginning of the season. Praise again to whoever fixed the problem. I hope it's some kind of automated editing code to shave time and not some poor drudge having to manually do something clue by clue in ...

This type of team was chowed down upon in the Andes in 1972.

Nah, I don't think Alex could read that one.

I suppose a joke involving Rugby and Eton wouldn't fly either.

Help me, I can't stop myself.

It was literally haute cuisine.

For the staple Andean crop that might eradicate world hunger, I said "soccer players". But deep down I knew I was probably wrong. So wrong on so many levels. For starters they were rugby players. I've got no other complaints about this. ;) Huh, you're right, they were rugby players. I guess I just ...

I liked the WHAT'S BEING MEASURED category except for the confusion. Count me as one who wouldn't have been any less confused if the category had been taken in order. Is there a better category title that would have made it clear what they're looking for? If not, the category would have benefited f...

SF1 - Emma finds no DDs and Kyle and/or Dhruv do not miss for big bucks. Emma bested Josh and Eric on the buzzer so I see no reason she can't ring in best against Dhruv & Kyle. For buzzer speed I put Dhruv on equal footing (handing?) with Emma. I think Emma has a broader knowledge base but if Dhruv...

What I expect is: Gilbert vs. Steven vs. Lindsey Francois vs. Emma vs. Dhruv James vs. Kyle vs Rachel Francois vs. Emma vs. Dhruv would be a bare-knuckle brawl and if this comes to pass I predict it will be the most gripping game of the tournament. I know many people are on the James train but I th...

I had no idea the Mark Twain Prize was targeted for comedians and stage performers. He was a writer, and it's called "humor", so it has to be for authors, right? So, I chose to make a WAG between Dave Barry and David Sedaris? Oh, well. Gimme the Sheep +5 :lol: . Yes, exactly! I also assumed it was ...

I had drain for the gargoyle's "downspout"...probably wrong, right? Another case of "right idea, wrong word" for me.

I went with "discharge". I think we could both make a case.

you got trent reznor? very weird seeing i didn't think you knew anything about music apart from country and western music You must now listen to 10 hours of Willie, Waylon, and Merle as penance for your sin of calling it "country and western". I honestly thought that no one still said that unironic...

Looks like I was the only one to guess Diana Ross. And if anyone says "But she's not an actress", well, neither is BS !

Nope, she was my (uncomfortable) guess as well.
