    This was just a really hard week to celebrate Thanksgiving. Let’s hope that every day next week, something good happens on both JEOPARDY! & Wheel Of Fortune. (Fingers Crossed)

    $14,400 in triple stumpers, would have had a $100 lead going into FJ!. How nice.

    This is the third fj triple stumper that no one got. Bram stoker’s dracula has some pc games that focuses primarily on him. Although I am glad to see Alex not getting much. She could be our next James Holzhauer but we shall see how far she goes. I think Alex has a lot of confidence in today’s game unlike the previous players with short runs.

    Everyone knows these quotes —

    “To err is human, to forgive, divine”
    “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread”
    “A little learning is a dang’rous thing”

    All of them are from “An Essay on Criticism”
