So far so good. I didn't know that island communication answer going in, but picked the only possible logical answer. In this case it was a question of "what would the islanders have access to", so logic did matter.

I don't remember seeing this in the fall, but I didn't see them all.

Is he getting a redo because of a reversal of his original decision? If so, why not just pick up from where he left off.

Dennis was part of Second Chance Week. Basically, the show invited contestants back who had had the guts to guess on a question fairly far into the game, but got it wrong. Three of the group who taped originally made it into the second round, and the rest of us had left with $1000.

Thanks Elendil.

After I posted this to the group I did more research on him & was reminded of that 2nd chance week.

I am happy your group got to play again.

But as I probably said at the time, some of us would love to play for the 1st time.
