Biden fist bump triple stumper last night was the biggest WTF I’ve seen this year.
They missed a perfect opportunity for “What is terrorist fist jab?”
Several WCs have won, although none since 2007.
Wordplay really can turn easy categories really difficult. Your brain wants to work with the letters they give instead of just looking at the rest of the clue.
I also don’t think starting at the bottom did them any favours in this particular category, none of them seemed to connect the category name to the clues at first. Knesset would’ve been a lot easier to get if you’ve already gone through three other parliament buildings and knew for sure what you were looking for.
Im not sure I can name a single actual name of a country’s parliament outside of the US and UK
We would have accepted “What is Let’s Go Brandon?” or “What is Dark Brandon?”
Many of them are just called Parliament of [insert country here]. The Czech Republic is a prime example. Not all of them are Ireland with their fancy Oireachtas.

LOL, I made that exact joke while watching.
I also imagined Ken saying. “Sorry, our judges have ruled that response is only acceptable when Obama does it.”

LOLW. Could see it written all over her face.
Before I read the format I was like, ok seems like a pretty straightforward $0 bet with a tiebreaker and the loser of the tiebreaker getting a WC spot, but Ken hadnt mentioned a wild card so I looked up the format before the clue.
At that point, there is only one correct bet. I have no idea how people who are so smart can miss a fundamentally simple part of the game. The format is lose and go home and a triple get is the most common type of FJ response, any person with even an ounce of common sense, not even betting strategy but simple common sense knows you have to push there.
So fucking frustrating. And I like her. She was one of those champs that was very quietly super smart. Even yesterday after the Jeopardy round I was baffled it was tied because I barely remember her ringing in to answer. She wasnt flashy or loud, she just got the job done but that wager was attrocious
I think she made multiple bad wagers and knocked herself out essentially.
I looked up the game she lost in the regular season. She was up 12300 to 10200. Person with 10200 bet 8000. She bet 12300. They both missed the final question…
How can you make it that far and be so fucking bad at wagering?
wat
I know right…
Omg I remember that game. Its a million times worse because 3rd place wasnt even in play
Ah yes…
I’d think the wagering would be disqualifying from liking her. I could imagine liking her but for the wagering. But once you throw that in, it’s definitely disqualifying for me.
Lowest coryat blows everyone away b/c of DDs.
