Spoiler for 6/17 ep.

The first person leading off the bonus round went 7/7 to earn the team the $10K. A funny coincidence was one of the answers matching a DJ! category from today's J! game.

3 dummies made it through with incredibly easy questions and then managed only one correct answer at the end. Still, that’s probably one more than the country DJs…

It's not always about making fun of the players.

Which American author wrote the autobiography "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings"?

Maya Angelou
Toni Morrison
Ken Kesey

I love the creativity of the third choice instead of using perhaps, Alice Walker.

Steve obviously never saw the 1 vs 100 episode where the question was “Which of these is prohibited from the eBay website?” The answer being “Used Make-up”, which 52 mob members ended up missing.

Evidently, the Romero’s do not hold any Renaissance art themed parties nor ice cream themed parties.

Contestant wins the team $10,000 by correctly getting a question about Norman Rockwell because she is a fan of Sam Rockwell. Thank goodness Sam Rockwell exists.

Funnily enough, tonight’s episode was a second chance show, and the team talked about their teammate’s dime mistake, and she even held up a dime to Joey. :lol:
