FRAGILAY!
oh! that's the team from B'more! Are they good?
I haven't seen the show at all but it sounds right up my alley.
Excuse me? Who gave you permission to exist?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
They knocked off the defending champions last night!

They beat the returning champions from last season in the second tie-breaker, so I'm hoping that they continue to do well. They seemed like very nice young women, and their moms were in the audience cheering them on in matching fleece tops.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Heh. I can't believe she knew the principal actor's name!
I KNOW! That was an exciting round.

I think it's interesting that tuna and filet are considered boring choices, but shrimp isn't. That's got to be more about the execution than the ingredient, right? Maybe the idea is that there is less to do with the tuna and steak?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yes, it was an exciting round. I'm not sure how well Fragilay will do (I'm totally rooting for them - they may be my favorites) though in the semi-finals because that one team earlier this week that swept the "they're real and spectacular" team are really good. I think they could have answered some of the questions that Fragilay missed.

Wocka Wocka, I think. I liked Fragilay a lot, but it seems like their final member (Tani?) was stronger than the other two. I give them credit for strategically using her last, though-- I think you should only use your strongest member in an earlier matchup if the subject is well within the player's wheelhouse. As last year, my fave team is Almost Perfect Strangers. So adorably nerdy, particularly the guy who knew Louis Gossett Jr.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
oh yeah. I really like Almost Perfect Stranger 2 also. They might go the distance.

I forget which team it was where the woman couldn't come up with the movie in which Morgan Freeman played the President. I was literally wiggling my fingers in front of my forehead, vibing her the words "Deep Impact...Deep Impact..." but she wasn't receiving, unfortunately.
I always like to imagine how I would do up there, and I know that any category dealing with music is my huge downfall. I thought I'd do well in most of the movies/tv categories, but I have gaping holes there as well (I've not seen any of the "Frat Pack" movies other than Meet the Parents, which I hated).

I was shocked with some of the answers I did know, without having seen the movie in question or whatever. Osmosis, man.
