Re: Thursday, March 14, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

"from its hemisphere" isn't very clear to me... from WHAT's hemisphere??? Every country is from its hemisphere, I was thinking... Maybe the headquarters' hemisphere? nah... By the time I got to what I think they were asking for and while I was still deciding if they meant West/East or Nor...

The FJ! clue was not for me as after dismissing Angola I wrote Liechtenstein.
That was my response, figuring i wasn't that populated and near enough to make migration easier. I guess I was overthinking. :lol:

I immediately figured the clue was referring to a sitting VP, and my first thought was Gore. The thing that made me question that response was the SCOTUS involvement in that election, and whether or not that changed who made the "official declaration". Fortunately, I ran out of time before...

In my case, it did not. I love this show and it did not occur to me in those 30 seconds. Maybe given more time it would have. Major head slap.

Similar question to others who Steinbecked. Did you go that way because Faulkner didn't come to mind? Or did you stick (or would have stuck) with Steinbeck even after considering Faulkner? I did the same thing Mark did. I put down Steinbeck first, and Faulkner came to me so late I stuck with what I...

When driving west on I-10 crossing the border from LA into TX, there is a road sign showing 879 miles to El Paso. I don't even want to think about driving that. Been there, done that, don't recommend it. :| Even so, I still considered California for a few seconds. But I've also driven a decent amou...

This was so frustrating, I figured it was Van Gogh, but then I couldn't get Sunflowers out of my head. I knew that wasn't right, but Irises wasn't coming to me in 30 seconds. So alas, I said Waterlillies just to have something. :cry:

I’m not a celebrity so I know what a homophone is but I didn’t understand the category. I’m guessing “Dianne” is a homophobe in some show I’ve never seen but I was expecting the clues to contain homophones. But it was about people named Dianne.
I believe we had 5 different spellings of Dianne.

I really hope Stefan is going to be on soon.
My husband thought I was being harsh for pointing this out.

Nope, that's something they should all know. Not sorry.
