I had no idea what might be on either of their flags, but I do know the Alaska quarter has a bear catching a fish. Maybe she was thinking of the quarter, too.

Sometimes I forget how old Alex is and then he does something like ask a contestant about fist bump explosions.

I expected Lydia to be really tiny, but then Erin was there, looking shorter than Danny DeVito.

I kept laughing at Lydia's wince after every answer she wasn't 100% sure about. Which was almost all of them.

Yeah, the dude seemed pretty uncomfortable. He only won a little more than the second place consolation prize once you take into account what he pulled in today as well.

Also, I can't believe I missed yesterday's Final, especially since the first cour (read: half-season) of the Fate/stay Night Unlimited Blade Works anime series aired during the Fall season last year, and I followed it heavily. Medea summoned as the Servant Caster is heavily featured in that part of the series that aired, so I dunno why I didn't think of her at all. My mind went immediately to Circe instead...

Nah, it was a Mythology question, it just so happened that there was an anime airing last season that had a lot of mythological figures in it.

I've seen similar stuff before in recent years. He's getting old. It's a shame since she obviously knew the answer anyway, but at least it didn't affect the outcome.

I remember that as well. He said it correctly first, then changed it to the incorrect pronunciation. Seems like Alex was off his game when they taped this episode.

That's the best kind of FJ, where no one will actually know it but it's right there in plain sight if you find the first link of the chain.

I was surprised the champ did so poorly, I was pretty impressed with her yesterday and thought she'd make a run. Though I think this was a really easy game, which should favor buzzer skills over knowledge.

I didn't see this but today's cosplay discussion was pretty cringe-inducing.

Edit: ugh, Sam was the worst today. He said 'what is' before categories and DJ wagers like five times.

Yeah, that was pretty painful.

Still, Walter White and Ron Swanson aren't who I'd immediately think of when someone mentions doing cosplay. And Alex pronounced the term wrong as well.
