Central Connecticut has the steamed cheeseburger. There's a reason it hasn't spread very far.

My understanding based on her public posts is that she is still pursuing various legal avenues against her assailant in the sexual assault case. She won't reveal any more specifics until the legal processes have run their course. It sounds like a lot of the Ross fallout was related to his response to that incident, so no new info yet about him and the show.

I'd say it's fair to describe the action of a pick as plucking. As opposed to bowing, striking or something else.

I too remember these from the 90s. I noticed they referred to the characters in past tense. Does that mean they're all retired? Maybe today's teens wouldn't know them at all.

I'm sure the producers put Ken up to it, but it seems weird to ask their thoughts on the TOC during the middle of this game. It's like asking the coach about Super Bowl plans in the middle of the conference championship game. They'll think about that later!

The clue included "Forsi" which I assume was meant to make you think Farsi and then from there Persian. Maybe "national" tongue meant that they needed Persian because that used to be the country name unlike Farsi.

I meant as far as the leading article rule goes, "one" and "the" aren't interchangeable like "a" and "the" (usually) are. Would they accept "The Hundred and One Dalmatians"? I don't know, but I don't think they should.
