Well now, this is a shocker. LSV didn't get a single clue right in the Double Jeopardy! round, but I swept the board there.

Was the April Fool prank by J! having Zooey Deschanel appear as the new champ? Well done by Nell to run the ACTING PRESIDENTS category.

The claw game story made me laugh as I have a friend who is quite good at it. I paid for him to play and got a souvenir mini stuffed SJ Sharks hat at Great America.

Nell must have got a talking to between rounds as she stopped that "Same" (with value) nonsense instead of saying the category's name.

The FJ! clue had me way off in South America while I considered switching to Indonesia. Good work by Nell to make sure Evan was not going to steal the game she mostly owned.

Just another Mayim Monday next week.

Nell played really well not to have a lock. I cringed at the end of DJ.

It has been sometime since anyone struggled visibly on signaling device as Yian.

Weird ruling on Hearst castle. Did I mention I'm not a big fan of the host... especially the interviews. Imagine if I get the call

Surprised FJ went 1/3.

Happy to see Nell's reaction. Glad her end of DJ round play won't haunt her.

Suriname? If so, me too. The actual answer is so obvious in retrospect.

Yes.

Got the archiving started with five clues in having no problem. After 10 clues it was no longer working. Seems to be back now and I get the pleasure of redoing clues 6-10.

[triviawayne]

I have a feeling this is the beginning of another good run.

Instaget final, ran the hood ornament and acting president categories.

[CyrusChan]

mannn those back-to-back daily double wagers....

no clue what I was thinking when submitting Suriname without thinking. I've been to New Zealand and have interacted with a Maori!

Chalk me up as another one who went straight to Suriname on FJ.

I also blurted out "bilious" rather than "choleric" and thought it could be at least arguably correct...at least until I went back and saw "one of the 4 humors" specified. And, of course, there are two varieties of bile among the four. Since two does not equal one...nope.

Suriname was the first thing that came to mind, given J!'s love of the Suriname/Dutch connection. But the vowel-heavy word sounded too South Pacificky for me to feel comfortable with that, and I ended up getting to the right place.

[cosmos]

It sounded to me that Nell said "safararizona" and correct response was "safarizona."

And why no rebound allowed after a contestant runs out of time?

[mxc_takeshi]

34 right.

Lach Trash: copper, rocket

DD: Solidarity

FJ:

Indonesia was my guess.

Mine as well. Aotearoa looked like Krakatoa. Had no idea there was a Dutch province called Zeeland, turns out it is the least populated province.

And why no rebound allowed after a contestant runs out of time?

If tape stops—which I assume happened so that judges could ascertain if Yian started in time—no rebounds are permitted.
