We’ll see if Philip’s “guns blazing” approach continues to work for him… or if tonight’s opponents will find the Daily Doubles first.
I’m sad we didn’t get to see that last Daily Double. What would have happened?

Philip Tiu (2x) |
Geoff Mitelman |
Elena Gray-Blanc |

It almost certainly wouldn’t have mattered, since Philip got final and Geoff did not.
Philip has now won 3 games and $96,598.

I missed the interview part. Who said what that was not a good idea to disagree w/Alex?
Thanks in advance.
I assume he’s referring to Elena who didn’t like Wuthering Heights but it’s Alex’s favorite book.
Don’t you think he was just messing with her? Hard to imagine that it’s really his favorite book!
I recall it came up during my College Championship, so, no, it’s not a new thing 🙂
Was Philip purposely slowing down the game toward the end?
I doubt it – he had been playing slow in all of his games no matter the time
Actually the last DD could have made a difference. If Philip got it too he would no doubt have bet big (if yesterday was any indication), if he got it wrong he could have fell to a place where he couldn’t catch up to Geoff even with a correct. I’d like to think he wouldn’t Clavin his DD, but stranger things have happened.
