Poor kids are so nervous up there. Josiah got some really ugly hate on Twitter yesterday - hope they're not namesearching.

Anyone remember a previous instance where they had to put a disclaimer up like on the Sebelius clue?

The category was "My Current Government Job" and they were asking about Kathleen Sebelius. She'd resigned since the episode was taped. They put up a graphic saying "Recorded in March 2014."

Considering Roots aired at least 20 years after they were born, It's not surprising at all. I've never seen it either though I have the book.

I didn't know you could be a hipster at that age. Or maybe Cincinnati's just a strange place? Either way Eileen was weirding me out and her "I will burn this place to the ground" smile at the end there didn't help.

When he came out into the center of the stage after they were both announced as semi-finalists, I was totally amazed that he was really that short.

That was the best game of the tournament so far by a wide margin. Glad to see they're all advancing. I wonder who got screwed by that, though.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:

It was something along the lines of "someone who like metal music is known as this." one kid tried metalheads, then another tried skinheads. It was a category where each correct response had "head" in it. (I'd be more precise but last night's J-archive page is very incomplete.)

Sammy Davis Jr. Jr. is also in repose.
Have there been any other tournaments where all three contestants in one episode did well enough to advance into the next round? They all did well, so it was good to see them all make enough to get high earner spots.

A few days late, but I agree with the metalhead thing. They should have given him the money before FJ.
