Huh! That was my guess, actually. Whaddya know about that! (well, I didn’t get in the 30 seconds, so there’s that…) I’ve never read it, I just matched the image in my head I’ve seen of it and said, “yeah that sort of looks like a horse, maybe…” ---

The emphasis on horses threw me—I didn’t get it. And @Just_Asking_Questions —I share your annoyance at Amodio 2.0. (Though it **would** be interesting if Steven got himself on an Invitational (maybe) show with Matt….would they irritate _each other_??) ---

Should be a facepalm for them—but they’ll probably conclude that their audiences won’t remember the incorrect fact any more than they’d remember the correct one. ---

Well there it is. Thank you Dung\_Beetle. As for the spoiler: Delaney earns the win as an eighteen year old undergraduate! I thought she looked a little off/nervous in the game and then understood why in her interview. Congratulations! ---

Oct 16 episode. They pronounced the word “influencer” as in flu ENCE er rather than in FLU encer. That sounds pretentious. 🙂 ---
