LOVED the "one Word off" category on Round 1. Would have been HILARIOUS if they threw a BLOCK from Whew! at the $800 level (preferably the one depicting the evil scientist) , since that's the game I was reminded of while watching it. Nailed Buster Brown in MISSOURI LOVES COMPANY, guessed "Bausch & L...

I got R.E.M. from the clue, but I must admit I was confusing the song "Crush with Eyeliner" (from the "Monster" album) with this song from the "Green" album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mSmOcmk7uQ And CWE wasn't even the "hit" from the album. That would be "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?", foll...

What was the answer to the "Tony" winner question?

Where are Australia and Antarctica? (although, I could not name an Asian or African-set Tony winner if my life dpeended on it).

Looking forward to discussion on FJ! Should Prudence have been counted correct? Personally, I think they should have expected the middle initial too.

Yes, I would have counted her correct. Monty Hall of Split Second would have.

Hmm wasn't there one unrevealed clue in the category?

Yes, there was. I was being sarcastic on a JIM ROME SHOW level, theorizing what might have been there ("Catcher's Mitt Romeny, maybe?).

So G n f'n R fits no part of the clue/category. (Unless you count southern California as "southern").

By "Southern", they mean Southern US.

.38 Special is from Jacksonville, FL. One of their lead singers is the kid brother of the late Ronnie Van Zandt.

NO, you heard correct.


Memo from the J board:

Thanks a lot for not picking me in ELECTION YEAR BEFORE & AFTER:

Sincerely,

Michele Bachman Turner Overdrive

I was hoping for John Elway in the draft category. Putting Stafford on the Rams kept me from running that category. Would they have taken just "stock market crash", even after the others had given the wrong date? ... I hate to sound like TPH, but I did not know Scott Joplin was black. Didn't know h...

There's an Alexandria elsewhere?!? Virginia? Louisiana as well, don't ask me how or why I know this. There was a semi-pro baseball team from 1994-2002 called the Alexandria (LA) Aces that played in the Central League (indy baseball). As for the missing Brady: I would not have put it past them to do...

17 right today with 8 in the first round and 9 in DJ. I should've had 11 in DJ. I should've went with Alexander the Great but for some reason I went with Darius instead even though I thought of Alexander. Then I said inside trading instead of insider. For FJ, I had nothing. The only film from 1959 ...

Is Lenny Bruce's picture all that well-known? I sure didn't know it. I'd say most people who know who Lenny Bruce was, know what he looked like... Didn't get Bruce, Thatcher was a bit of a guess. FJ was fairly quick for me, did not know Cage was in the movie, which part did he play? Penn was Spicol...

Is Lenny Bruce's picture all that well-known? I sure didn't know it. FJ took me about 20 seconds or so, but I did come up with FTARH. Didn't get Bruce, Thatcher was a bit of a guess.

Nailed FJ off the clue.

Disappointed that 2x4 was timed out. ('Twas hoping to see if Metallica, Van Halen, and Boys II Men were among the quartets listed).

How the heck was that St. Patrick clue a stand-and-stare? Ran Grime, which is odd for someone who throws trash on the floor when the trash can is full. No idea how I got Whiskey in the Jar, but I did. FJ! was frustrating. I locked onto "Dark Tower", said "oh, I know that title, I think..." but wasn...

6's and 7's!? OK... First it was the baseball category, now it's the TV category that they keep switching away from. Stop making me wait for my 5/5 damnit! Super-duper-ultra-instaget FJ. Absolutely stunned it was only a single get. I easily ran the TV category as well. My precall of Carlton the doo...

My third grade self, who could name all the presidents in order along with their names, is ashamed of me for blowing that FJ. I'm a huge baseball nerd, and I was irrationally hoping for stuff like WHIP, VORP, WARP3, and WHOOPS. Yes, these are all real stats. How about LIPS (late inning pressure sit...

A gutsy move, but I was pretty sure he'd miss it, since I knew Claudia was going to win. Funny they had a clue about Toto, which sang the song Africa, which was the subject of FJ. The song also has a line about Mars. The astroid Eros crossed the orbit of Mars. Thought of South Africa, went with Eth...

Guessed EAstern on FJ. Needed the TV show prompr to get PanAm.

Second consecutive day I knew FJ!, they didn't.

Had it between Boston and Richmond, decided that Boston didn't have any Presidents buried there.

Someone explain the "Bella" in-joke to me.
