Thanks to everyone for playing and for the plethora of positive comments - which tempted me to go out on a high note and not host again. But I intend to be back - hopefully in a few weeks. Have a wonderful weekend!

Misreading the clue and leaving out the "al" on heptagonal cost me ten points and the win, it appears. That's going to hurt.
Congrats to the podium finishers and thanks again as always clt, can't wait for the next one!
i didn't read 2 questions in their entirety leading to 2 wrongs which kept me from winning as well

Thanks clt013, that was a lot of fun. Unfortunately, I seem to be developing a bad habit of forgetting my drops.
Also, I hate to be a stickler, but it shouldn't affect the podium so... I shied away from Penélope Cruz because I wasn't 100% on whether she had that accent in her name (she does).
