[MinnesotaMyron]

I bet there was a stop tape to research Alan's response. I think they'd have had to take just "Jeanne".

[AndyTheQuizzer]

I think they'd have had to take just "Jeanne".

Ken even said as much.

[MarkBarrett]

Funny timing to have the Heartbreaking thread appear the same day Alan blows the victory set up for him.

Cool audience shot to see Kate's mom, J! champ Meg Shreve.

Some games this season play like all the material is new while other times, like today, I can actually recall having seen some categories/clues previously.

The FJ! clue was a fast jot and I thought it had 3/3 written all over it. The guys were 1/2 on wagering clue while Kate was the only 2/2 on hers. Good for coming in second and that's it.

today, I can actually recall having seen some categories/clues previously.

I remember the laugh when Alex originally revealed the category "Those Darn Etruscans!" the first time, and the subsequent laugh when it was brought back in response it becoming a running gag later. Was its re-use today the clues from that second appearance?

Still waiting for the return of "Kings Named Haakon".

[Cat Hammarskjold]

Still waiting for the return of "Kings Named Haakon".

Given the age of the current King of Norway, it looks like Crown Prince Haakon will become King Haakon VIII in the not-too-distant future. Maybe they're waiting for that.

[Game Girl]

The mother-daughter idea is actually more reasonable some of the others. (I would sign up) Etruscan made a came back, I mentioned a few weeks ago a spiritual successor showed up but I guess now the original is having a return. I got the Romulus and Remus also I think this clue appeared last month including the photo. I thought I was David Bowie on one of the trumpet ones. (granted when I did the second read through using the archive (I watch a show with the game on one screen and the archive on my phone) looks like I got Starman and Star People confuse. shout out to the tv show Starman even if not related to either)

1600 for email addresses is a beautiful example on why originally Outlook originally had a 8 character maximum. The beautiful head pottery in the Etruscan category was well beautiful.

[Robert K S]

Dennis might note with dismay when he checks the Archive that "Mrs. March" would have been acceptable for the "megs_mom@littlewomen.org" clue, according to the last time that category was played in 2006. This was another category where we got to see the real J!6, which in this case was the McMurphy clue.

[Woof]

I also had to put McMurtry out of my mind to get to McMurphy. I too thought it would be a 3/3 FJ and did a double-take on Joanne.

[jamie]

I think they'd have had to take just "Jeanne".

Ken even said as much.

He may have meant to say "Jeanne," but he didn't get all the way there.

Also, not for nothing, but in Joan of Arc's canonization documents, she's referred to in Latin as "Ioanna," which is functionally the same as Joanna...

I object in principle to the "Literary E-Mail Addresses" category. There's nothing pinning any of the correct answers other than a vague sense of hypothetical appropriateness.

[BigDaddyMatty]

Coryat: $39,400
50 R/0 W
DD: 3/3
FJ:
LT: chlorine (DD), double eagle, submarine, Randle Patrick McMurphy

Man, I hate having to play games from the Archive (but I am very glad it is there).

I completely dismissed Joan of Arc for FJ! because it was just too obvious. I searched for something else and came up with the Isabella/Catherine of Aragon connection, which is wrong on several accounts.

DD: 3/3

I was going for my third straight perfect week and 16 correct FJs in a row. I don’t know what my best ever was but that likely far exceeds it.

Then, like you, I decided Joan of Arc was too obvious and write down Catherine of Aragon as well. No idea why except that I am an idiot.

Cool audience shot to see Kate's mom, J! champ Meg Shreve.

CBS This Morning just ran a story this morning on Meg and her writing career.

[Robert K S]

she's referred to in Latin as "Ioanna," which is functionally the same as Joanna...

[AFRET CMS]

Could have sworn I heard Dennis say "Jossarian" instead of "Yossarian" for DJ "Email Addresses" $1600, and was expecting a reversal. So, I either misheard, had a sound glitch, or learned about a new alternate pronunciation.
