South Africa would've been a DD get.
Got Twist on 'orphan' and, like Mark, later noticed the alphabet hint.
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

I can't believe I missed an FJ! with an 89% get rate that wasn't about pop music or movies. I deserve to be relegated to an E rundle.

Re: FJs for the 11/20/17 week
Got both countries wrong on Thursday with a particularly egregious guess on the west, Russia on the east. Ridiculously bad miss on Friday: sounded like Dickens, orphans made me think of Oliver Twist, noticed the pattern, and somehow forgot to circle back to notice that Twist fit the pattern. I don't know how I managed that.
I watch J! at 4:30 CT on an NBC station, so the rerun of the Thanksgiving Day Parade preempted it and there was no makeup showing. Fortunately, I was able to watch by alternate means.

Had Bulgaria and Iraq (the runners-up) on Thursday. Got everything else right.
The Thursday show aired on the affiliate's digital subchannel (but forgot to update the listing on my TiVo from the regular episode of M*A*S*H so it didn't tape, so I had to get it from Reddit). Friday's show aired as normal.

Not many people can say they've lost four times on Jeopardy!.

Wasn't sure how to answer the penultimate question. I got Oliver Twist as being the orphan with absolutely no confidence in it being the right answer until I noticed the S-T-U-V pattern.
Was once hugged by Maggie Speak!
