@ Dal
No surprise since on average the ladies make up 2/3 of the contestants. Mulier fere semper vincit.
John:
There have been 10 male and 10 female challengers thus far this season.
I guess then I have watched always the games where there were more ladies. I don’t see every game, sometimes the day is just too short…
The info above is incorrect. Philemon and Jude are both in the New Testament.

Thank you for this correction, and my apologies.
does anybody remember the answer to the happy ending movie of 2012 – going crazy trying to remember. Thanks
Second tough Monday FJ in a row. Last season, I was about 85% on Mondays. This season, I’ve started off 0 for 2. Oof.
