Ugh, I hope the 100th game of the season will eliminate two consecutive days of low-scoring affairs.
Alex DeFrank, not your day with the Daily Doubles and with FJ! Sorry about that.
Being able to win the game in the TofC from the fourth podium don’t happen much
Being able to win a TofC game from the fourth podium doesn’t always happen.
Well, my hopes for a better game were dashed. Even though the big lead Alex had went south in a hurry, he still was in the lead at the end of the last round. Crazy!
They’re really putting the whammy on these guys with some of this stuff.
Maybe, tomorrow will be a game, and also, tomorrow’s the 100th game of the season. Whoever wins tomorrow’s game will have something to celebrate with.
Maybe, tomorrow will be better.

For the second day in a row, we have a low scoring game and all three daily doubles were missed again. Darn those daily doubles to Alex. Congrats to Ashley for winning despite having only 8 correct to 29 correct for Alex. We’ll see her in the semifinals next week and we’ll see Kamau next month in the Celebrity Jeopardy All Stars. They mentioned that during the interviews that Kamau will take part in that event next month.
