So
Taming of the Shrew is polling at 19% right now. I imagine that's not a record low; can anyone tell me which clues have scored lower? Or, I suppose, more usefully, can anyone tell me how I can find out for myself which clues have scored lower?
I did a search of my name and liederkranz to find some I shared previously.

For more recently there is the notorious flight simulator.

also check on Black Swan if that is not in the above.

Have we not been doing toughest FJ polls lately? I don't see such a thread for a few years.

By paying attention to political news for the past decade.

Yes, something that happened in 1917 was in the news last week. Did you hear about that big ship that sank?

Quietly with no announcement I stopped doing it several years ago. I kept no notes or poll results week by week and after 15 or 16 weeks had to round up the polls one by one to get the information. The toughest FJ polls rarely proved anything other than confirming whatever the obvious choice was for each third of the season.
I did understand how revisiting the clues three times a season was a good review of the clues while often it only brought back bad memories for me for all the ones I missed. Remind me in early July and perhaps I can do one for the entire season. By then there would a solid 16 or so that were under 20%.

That takes SOME of the sting out of losing a 5-for-5 week, but still.....

I'm so glad to see the Friday Shakespeare FJ is polling so low. Makes it a bit easier for me to swallow missing it and missing the 5-for-5 week.

Too meta. The judges wouldn't get the joke.

You'll almost certainly see it in the Season 35 Toughest FJs poll at the end of the season. I mean, unless it picks up at least 9 more yes votes. Could happen, I suppose.
Given how the clue is polling, it's slightly surprising this wasn't a TS for the contestants. Rebecca can be proud of her sole get. It's just too bad she didn't bet enough to make it count. Not, as I made clear elsewhere, that I'm faulting her wager. It just would have been fun to see her bask in a victory that was both lucky (because she was in a distant third) and well-earned (because Shrew).
