What a *****... bad category or not, I feel like you have a better shot on a $1,200 clue than knowing the Final and him missing or both missing and him screwing up
Not bad. He was in a spot where there were two options, $5 (he needed to bet less than $100 to avoid a lock if leader got last $2k clue remaining) or shove (perhaps leaving $100 behind). At least he chose one of them. He was thinking strategically. Most people would have said some awful number between those two figures like $2k or $3k. And it did seem like a poor category for him, and was a DD he had no clue on, so can't blame him for taking the weak option of the two. Of course, you never know when a DD is going to be easy. For the bottom row clue in Woody category, I told my girlfriend that if this was the DD I would bet $5 because I can't think of a single Woody that hasn't been said. Of course, then I did know Woody Paige and would have been able to get ESPN from Around the Horn even if I didn't.
