I'm with twelvefootboy; you must be really fun at parties. i don't do parties...i hate being around people...i am misanthropic...can't you tell by my name? Which would make it all the more fun to see you at a party. Kinda of a fish outta water or cat in the water sorta thing, but without a life-thr...

That Three Gorges DD was a killer (I've been near there - admittedly decades ago - and I had no idea what the clue was asking for). The Solomon DD was pretty difficult too. Both of them needed puzzling out, and Colby was so fantastic to watch as he did it. I got to Three Gorges Dam, but then figure...

How am I supposed to remember all this?

Interesting that players who haven't yet played in the event are getting votes.

what a waste of en episode...too much jibber jabbering...did they really need to go to a break, come back and interview and then go to another break? about as bad as an american football game...pure dull crap without much action [sarcasm] Look at the bright side: they got all 30 clues in. [/sarcasm]

This means it’s open season on the penguin right?

Wabbit season!

FTFY.

Right, their game, their rules. But I am inclined to agree that the two aspects of Final ought to be inseparable and if one is played by only one player then the other should be, too. If teams actually got a chance to consult after seeing the Final category, that means they could also play mental M...

Can't say that I've heard of Brownsville before, nor do I see why I should have.

'Cause smokin' in the boys' room is cool.

Frankly, I don't remember Brownsville in particular coming up in the whole border story. I feel like I might have come up with it if it didn't have that part in the clue, but I focused on that part, and kept coming out in Arizona instead of Texas. I once walked across the bridge from Brownsville to...

(side note: got to take a 757 out of Santa Ana once; between the overpowered engines and the noise abatement procedures, it's the coolest thing ever) How so? If he's referring to John Wayne, I'd guess it would be due to the shortness of the runways there. A 757 would have to take off much quicker t...

Hey, BDM, what gives??

I was certain it wasn't Rye Bread. The Monte Cristo leads me to France, hence French toast.

You're lucky. The Monte Cristo would lead me to a heart attack.

I got "The Handmaid's Tale" but I began writing with only about 5 seconds left in the music, not enough time to write it all down! I would have been ruled incorrect because the pen would have turned off before I completed it. If I had written "What is" while I was stumped I probably could have comp...

The Republic of Macedonia is now officially the Republic of North Macedonia with the implementation of the Prespa agreement.

One would think I might have gotten FJ!. It's the one Shakespeare play I've acted in. But, alas, those weren't my lines.

I don't know ... there's something cruel about asking the black contestant about an Afrikaans word (yes, I know the stacks are randomly assigned).

As opposed to an English word?

The Alps are in Italy too? I thought they were only in Switzerland.

And just to stretch your (geographic) mind a little more, also in France, Austria, and Germany. [If I've missed any, please pile on.]

In 1896 the perhaps less skilled Alfred Austin succeeded Tennyson in this literary post

I've said before: I always thought "poet laureate" was something metaphorical and not literal.

Do you mean I could be the laureate poet,
But not know it?

I found the Nixon clue confusing. I know the dog's name and that speech well (and can pull the "Republican cloth coat" with slightly more difficulty) but the reference here was murky enough that I was thinking about whether they meant a State of the Union speech or something along those lines. Then...
