For Morgan, any word with the prefix meli- has to do with honey. For example, the scientific name for the honey badger is Mellivoria Capensis.

John Beck played and got bounced after round two, finishing with a negative score. On J! he won 5, did not make it out of the QF round in the ToC, won a UToc match, ran into Brad in the next round, and missed at $7K to leave with $5K on Millionaire.
He's like a box of chocolates on game shows.

Not to get all Lucario but how does jennings think Cedar Point is in Dayton? And in the question about Athens the challenger gave a Roman name.

Since Ken is a multi-millionaire I guess coins are below his dignity? 16 cents for adding up the two lowest coins without ridges? That was almost as bad as Ken missing Rigoletto yesterday.

Re: Fun with GSN's "Master Minds"
Is he being ironic, jokingly deflecting blame, or is he being honest? I just watched an episode of this show for the first time, and it's close to impossible to believe those comments are spontaneous. (For one thing, I never noticed any hesitation/competition about whose turn it was to speak.) Whether they are or not, somebody should factcheck before they go out on the air.econgator wrote: ↑Tue May 26, 2020 11:18 pmHmmm.

Lisa is from my hometown. I was very excited to see her win today.

I was certainly impressed that she was able to take down Dan. But not Ryan. She really should have known Lindsey Vonn, though. That was n her.

boardie battle to close the show. I'd love to know how many Dan knew. My instinct says all five. Nice work by Megan on the buzzer in round 3. I wonder if Davee knew about Megan's J! pedigree in addition to how strong Dan's resume is from the show? Pretty good episode with 5/6 competitors being J! alums.
