I would have been okay with them accepting Jennifer's FJ response. That one little omission cost her a wild card (although she would have made the cut either way if she'd bet $0).

I scrolled down and looked at FJ first, without even paying attention to the scores, and I saw Eric with a sole miss and a $201 wager and thought, "Too bad; $200 out of a lock game and he misses out on the finals with the right idea and the wrong name." Then I looked at the scores and realized he w...

Apparently no one remembers the Mayflower episode of "It's America Charlie Brown". The characters clearly met Samoset first. :roll: Sg could know it a different way: http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=3391&highlight=samoset That clue was briefly revealed prematurely. I only remembered se...

Family Feud never uses singleton answers, and it's at their discretion how many top answers make the list the families guess at. It's not common for all the available answers to represent all 100 surveyed.

I added 5/17/88 (Seniors SF2): http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=6396 I got DJ DD1 right because of a British comedy sketch. "The Two Ronnies" did a spot-on imitation (to my understanding) of the game show "Mastermind," except the contestant's area of expertise was in answering the ques...

Congrats to jeff6286 for winning HQ tonight!

Cool. Some of these must have included the symbol in the clue - I don't see any path to hafnium or ruthenium without just "what is (Hf,Ru). (sidebar - TIL lots more about Ru. I'm surprised it has been off my radar in my career with noble metals, refractory metals, and base metal thermometry. Now I'...

Number of times an element has been the correct question:

Pffft. Why should I put any faith in a Periodic Table that doesn’t include Seaborgium?

Huh? I'm It's there.

It also depends on how you define a decade. 0-9, 1-0, or any 10-year span. (Such matters got ToCer Bob Mesko re-invited after a bad FJ in his first game.) That was from the FJ from the episode of Bob Mesko's return. It was Brian Lamb & Holly Owens who returned later because of this FJ. Bob Mesko's ...

The same editor has also nominated the page for deletion.

It's not quite as helpful an option, but there's always site:jboard.tv seaborgium week as a Google search. Better to search for "week" as "intitle:week"; otherwise you'd get any page on which I posted where anyone also used the word "week." The "not quite as helpful" part is that the results aren't...

I just got it in my head to attempt to see how I did on FJ this season. I've been thwarted in the past by the board's software deeming certain words unsearchable. (I'm not trying to find all instances of "week" on the board, phpBB; just the posts I've made with "week" in the title!) But I got the i...

Am I the only one who doesn't see how Sendak fits a Picasso comparison at all ? Which Picasso work are you picturing?

Can't say I've heard "uncle" as an expression for giving up I think it's more common for an assailant to demand it be said than for the assailed to actually use it. Both occur between the bully Scut Farkus and one of Ralphie's friends in A Christmas Story . "Say uncle!" "Uncle!" " Say uncle! " "UNC...

Nice way to finish, especially against three TS FJs.

I'm thinking Maggie had some Dorian Gray mixed in with her response too.

Well, I guess we had to see it one more time before season's end: a dumbass all-in wager from third place loses a game she could have won. And surely you know an all-in bet from the leader is never, ever gonna happen. If you are in 2nd place in this game, what would you wager? Then perhaps re-think...

As much as I like Jason, if I'm being truthful, he's one of the luckiest 5-day champions Jeopardy has had in recent years. This is at least his 3rd game now where he could've easily lost had one (or in this case, both) of his opponents made smarter wagers. Nah. You have to be in the lead to benefit...
