    First of all, I'm American, but I'm an Anglophile. Second of all, I'm a big fan of Downton Abbey. Third of all, Michelle Dockery's laugh is incredible.

    Man, I'm bad at this game. I thought #4 was guaranteed from start to finish and the other UK person was a toss-up between 2 and 3.

    • @dracos0024
      @dracos0024 4 года назад

      Still better than me. My guesses were #4 and either #1 or #3. That's right, the three Americans.

    1 and 4 did amazing jobs with the accents, kinda figured they were from the USA.
