I’m surprised by “Justin \_\_\_, not Bieber”. I would have figured Justin Timberlake not Justin Bieber was the “obvious” answer.

I found that it was a lot easier to cover up the excluded name before trying to think of an answer. In a lot of them, it wasn’t the first person I thought of anyway (unless I saw the one I wasn’t supposed to give, and then I got stuck on it).

It’s especially annoying because you make it so easy to do. I know the regular rules and I don’t bother to reread them for each feud. But you put any special rules in a seperate section so I always check there.
