  1. Just caught the Monday Show. About to go to bed, so really quick thought. As with most games - really hard trivia - glad to see some tough FJ!s make the game interesting. With the win Mattea stays alive. Just a reminder that 2 are eliminated and 4 advance to the Semis. Victoria (13) and Yogesh (10) are locks into the Semi's Matt Amodio (1) is out. Before we go forward: The matchup's Wed are: Yogesh, James, Matt and Victoria, Amy, Mattea Scores are: James 6 Amy 5 Mattea 5 James is locked in by virtue of the tiebreaker of right answers, he is 30+ correct answers over Amy and Mattea, so there is virtually no way for him to get caught by some combo of Amy and Mattea finishing 1-2. Basically whoever finishes better between Mattea and Amy is the final semi-finalist.
  2. I'm not sure what deflated the energy from the game more - the goal or the injury to Ederson.
  3. Said so many times this year. The guy has been nails, but could have about 5 more goals this year.
  4. Given that now we are trying a change, I can't help but think that City sat back in the first half to see what we are doing and that Pep was going to adjust for the 2nd half. We will see. Well damn, now see if these guys can respond.
  5. I'm not even sure it matters right now - City is running over everyone right now. I fully expect them to probably score in the first 10' today.
  6. According to the web - Nordic Entertainment Group (NENT Group) To be honest, I kind of wish that Villa completed the comeback and won yesterday. That would have put this game into a don't care category, which combined with the top of the table implications.
  7. The underlying twitter thread is scathing. I unrolled it here: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1787501413137858617.html It's SUPER LONG, I wish I had time to read it, I was only 1/10th of the way through it. But man, I very much can see that the failure to deliver Robotaxi on August 8 being the moment that Tesla comes crashing down. AI is closer to writing a viable movie script than Tesla is for delivering FSD.
  8. A quick comeback to this for a moment - I can't say that all of these wagers make no sense. They do, in the context of the game. Victoria's wager Friday was done in a way to keep the lead in case of a triple stumper OR they did cute wagers (IE enough to just take the lead over her - which is what James's wager was). But given THAT grouping of 3 players, you can't assume that the other two players are going to miss or that one of them won't put it all on the line. These players are too aggressive and given their positions (top of the leader board) 1 point isn't going to make the different that 3 points does. At this level, there shouldn't be cute wagers - your wager should aim to cover a double up of all players that sit behind you if you get it right.
  9. A few things: 1. Isn’t this what the WankPanser was supposed to be? Some revolutionary exoskeleton design with no frame? So shouldn’t nothing being there be expected? 2. I have to question “the most American made car ever” status. I mean I’m pretty sure that I can find many parts on that thing manufactured in China or elsewhere. But I can guarantee you that you go pre-70s, most Ford, GM and Chrysler cars didn’t have a single bolt, hose or wire that wasn’t made by a red blooded American.
  10. So I just watched the Friday match and I gotta say - the way Yogesh won really hits on something that's been bugging me during this tournament - there have been some head scratching wagers in FJ! in this tournament. Victoria's answer SHOULD have won, but she made a tiny wager that really made no sense. Both Amy (twice) and Mattea have both made wagers that didn't set them up for doing more than finishing last. For being Jeopardy Masters, they are making some rookie mistakes.
