I called it! (Yeah, so what?) The three missed DD stands out. But, unlike our champs, I missed final. The total points were less with the DD misses, but the ratio was still there.
Agree with others: tournament time is fatiguing.

Congrats to Victoria! She was solid throughout, despite that hiccup in game 1 of the final.
I fell out of my seat in DJ with that question about the measure of current in honor of an Italian. I can’t believe Volta was accepted – thats not a unit of current!!!!

  Andrew didn’t say Volta, William.
  He said “a volt”

    Correct. But that is a measure of voltage. Current is measured in Amperes.

      Here’s the clue: Measuring electricity? In the U.S., we use this unit that honors an Italian count

Holy Polonius! I thought for sure Queen Vic would know that. Long long ago, when our class moved into junior high, we had autograph books to get signatures from classmates, teachers, and relatives. My very well-read father wrote, “This above all, to thine own self be true.” It meant little at the time, but once I matured and understood it, it became my personal mantra for life.
“Heaven Can Wait” is a favorite movie. Never saw the original, but certainly knew its name. Victoria sure got confused on that one. I’m glad she won, since she was so close to sweeping the first two contests. Props to all three for knowing FJ, a sea I’ve never heard of.

All 3 DDs were missed resulted our fifth skunking. I hope William Weyser will say darn those daily doubles to Victoria.

  I did, but I also said “You came, you saw…, you got dethroned.”

We went 0 for 3 on betting clues on the Daily Doubles. But all three players made impressive wagers in FJ! and we end the tournament on a high note. That’s it for tournaments in Season 40. Finally, we got to see regular games for the first time in a long time. Anybody looking forward to see regular games and new contestants?
