Alex's opening remarks about Thanksgiving are on J!'s YT page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPGHAN_Ij58

The gentlemen did not miss many clues and each one got a DD correct on the way for a game 6/6 on wagering clues.

It did not take long to match the guys in the FJ! round although I was not certain on the spelling.

Nice title defense by Ryan and now we know he's willing to bet big on DDs. Yesterday with 200+1000 did not tip his hand yet.

There's a non-zero chance I'd have written "ohm". I wonder if that would be accepted these days?

Happy Thanksgiving as I did not have to wait until the 3:30 CT airing to get the show: http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=6879

Alex's imitation on "my precious" is scarier than the movie character itself.

Some media clues, but not nearly as bad or as many as I feared.

Archive playthrough:

Coryat $49,600 (55R, 0W)
DD 3/3
FJ :mrgreen:

Friendly boards today. Got stumped by a couple movie clues, which is to be expected, and blanked on "Last Dance" even though I have a flashcard for it. NHO Ballers.

Very happy to be seeing 61 clues routinely these days!

Re: excessive bail:. Tell that to Kyle Rittenhouse :x
Ran Wedding Day, Maine, 5th C Raider, & Big Adjectives. :)
trash:. Manet, Kennebunkport (how quickly they forget), fetlock, Dog the Bounty Hunter. Relatively clean boards.
:D :D :( on Daily Doubles. Guessed sodium.
FJ:. Precalled were Christian-based, easy clue. :mrgreen:

I put down “ohm” and claiming credit.

Alex’s opening message was nice, but bittersweet.

I almost put down "ohm" but I managed to.... resist....

I'll show myself out...

Ran More Than One Meaning and, surprisingly, Art & Artists. Brainfart on "best man" and "Kennebunkport" (how's that for a Hawley-Smoot?), plus "frog" for "fetlock", kept me from 5/5 in those.

I wasn't smarter than a 5th Century Raider, as I had a bagel in that category. Also bombed Bestselling Nonfiction.

"This sacred syllable" -> "om". Super easy.

I spent the entirety of FJ! second-guessing myself, trying to find some wordplay amongst the three names that would give the clue, similar to the "What company is on the Oregon/Idaho border" clue that I just saw on Netflix (from Ryan Fenster's run, I believe). But failing that, I just went with the obvious "Om". The FJ! felt like a medium-value clue that got promoted to FJ! for some reason.

I was surprised none of the contestants got Kennebunkport...but I suppose the younger contestants in the year 2040 might be rusty on Mar-a-Lago.

Nice Thanksgiving talk at the top by Alex. Couldn't help but to think about his family this year, and how this is their first big holiday without him.

I'm a 25 year-old Canadian and I got it. Probably my proudest get of the night. These boards felt like the easiest all week, but that might be just me.

Instaget FJ. Contrary to Alex's remarks, there have been shorter FJ responses before:

Easily the best show that I’ve seen in a long time.

10/10

P.S. that FJ! clue should be a gimme w/ “syllable” as the key word.
It's the end of the journey that counts.

11/4/88: I probably would’ve said E. That’s a tough get within 30 seconds.
4/26/98: Easy. As a frequent Vegas vacationer, that’s an Instaget for me. Shocked that it stumped everyone.
It's the end of the journey that counts.
