i considered namechecking other bands, but you kind of just have to go with the vanilla when you are trying to connect with as many people as possible.

30 games through July 19

Appearances by Expert:
Ken: 16
Ryan: 16
Muffy: 15
Jonathan: 12
Raj: 12

Susannah: 5
David: 3

Wins by Expert: (Best during first three rounds to face winning contestant)
Ken: 9
Muffy: 7
Ryan: 5
Arianna: 4

$10,000 wins by Contestant:

And unsurprisingly, no one knew who Ignaz Semmelweis was. It is literally one of the things in which he is best known for. Was also surprised to see Jonathan miss Alessandro Volta earlier this week.

On the 7/22 show:

Spoiler

The contestant managed a 4-4 tie to face the Ultimate Trivia Question.

(Not exact wording) Is a velocipede a dinosaur, tricycle or caterpillar? The contestant went for the caterpillar. That's one way to throw away $9000. Ouch, that tricycle was not named to get the full $10,000 and return visit tomorrow.

Did Todd watch the Jeopardy! All-Star Games? http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=6228

did joe namath try to kiss someone again? haven't seen his commercial, that usually airs around the 16 minute mark, so far this week

Apparently Tzolkin is another name for the MAYAN calendar, which is what I thought before the choices came up. Now why didn't they put in Mayan as the answer choice. Could it be because the writers wanted to have a hysterical universal miss? Even Raj went wrong on this question.

The question that made me laugh was the editor one as I knew at least one player would bite on Woodward. Sumerian for me joining the players, experts and Sherri to give it 8 wrongs.

why mention him? is he immune from missing questions? from what the stats show he has 2 wins in 14 appearances, so he misses with regularity

looks like gsn brought back the joe namath commercial this week...though it started at the 15 minute mark instead of the usual 17 minute mark

Not necessarily. The first round has an extra question, so if the expert playing in round one gets all their questions, they will play in the bonus round, regardless of how well the other experts perform.

the determination of who plays in the final round is based on how each expert did on all ten questions during the first three rounds (we are all playing along on tablets), not just the one round in which we are featured.

that is correct

not a fan of the walk of fame star question in today's game...i said stanley kramer before the choices were given and was like "wtf" when he wasn't an option....woodward being the first is a myth

I am probably not the only one who noticed tonight's final round was Raj vs. Niraj. It is "The Raj Duet"!

Relying on your intel I gave Madeline a line on her J! bio. Niraj got one as well.
