end of show noise

Marla will return for tomorrow’s show.

No problems on questions 1 & 2, number three I had no clue so I probably would've Jumped. 4, 5, and 6 I had no problems, would've had to ATA on 7 and Jump on 8. Numbers 9 & 10 I knew, but 9 I wasn't entirely sure, so I dunno if I would've had the guts to go with my instinct.

I was impressed with how this woman has played the game (thus far). Strong player imo.

I was going to be really mad if my ask-the-audience console was still not working for this question, but it worked just fine. I knew it cold.

The preview on the WWTBAM website for this week pretty much sucked any suspense out of today's show.

Was cruising until 6 which wasn't so clear cut for me as it appears it was for the cast member. I knew Dion husband was older but wasn't really sure how much older. But I also knew Beatty was significantly older than Benning. Beatty is now 73 but I didn't realize Benning was older than I am (52). Thought she was a few years younger. Still, that's 21 years between them.

Dion's husband is only 68 but that is 26 years older than Dion.

She and Meredith talked about how Maria's Emmy was smaller than Meredith's.

She thought hard about this one, then it suddenly dawned on her.

OK, I'm surprised that she knew this one. Call it ageism.

After the audience answers were revealed Marla had a "d'oh" moment. She said she should have associated Prince with purple. Of course that isn't the key, it's knowing Minnesota's uniform colors.

I don't know this one, either, but the audience might, so I'll use ATA.

I like her - she's got a great attitude and lots of energy. She played the game well.

My dad is 71 and very tech savvy. For example, we went out recently and before the show started he was on his 'droid checking Facebook and updating his status. All I could think was "OMG, my dad has turned into a teenage girl!"

So, am I the only that thought that a brunoise might have something to do with browning something, like melting sugar?

I thought the same thing.

I hadn't heard of these until the recent thread discussing Kay's high-fashion baby granddaughter, but I think I'd have figured it out, given these choices.
