While Mike only got two clues incorrectly and 19 correctly, his opponents missed 7 clues each.
Fans reacted to the tough game, with one writing: “This was an abnormally tough board for me today. All around difficult, even in categories I’d normally do well in.
“You could tell the contestants were struggling, too. Hard clues, hard DDs, and a surprisingly easy FJ. Still, great work from our returning champ. He’s starting to seem like he could be a contender for the TOC!”
A second stated: “Rough game. Ten triple stumpers. 16 wrong responses including all three DDs and two of the three players had under $3,000 going to FJ. Yikes!”
Another added: “Tough board today, really. The challengers especially drew a tough hand by finding those DDs, which were especially tough today IMO.”
While a third complained that it was a “frustrating game to watch.”
