  1. Interesting Final only one (the defending champ) got. My guess was “The Great Gatsby”. Nice nod to Monty Python today. As for the two players who knew nothing about the Holy Grail —- in the words of the Knight in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” (which was also about the Holy Grail)…they chose poorly.

    Rating – 8 of 10 (rating reflecting the one lost DD, but still winning show)
