    Will Amy or Matt win the TOC? I really dont have a clue?

  2. Howard says:

    Is Amy showing signs of mortality? I thought the final was more or less a cinch, and also knew both of the DDs she missed. And, at the risk of revealing my age, Thursday was the 34th “airaversary” of my somewhat undeserved loss on Jeopardy! The day the Fates conspired to steal a win from my grasp.

  3. Lou says:

    I would probably give Amy another week at the most here as she cleans up November and the rest of December. With new years eve coming I am definitely thinking she has potential to continue into January with her high percentage of wins. We end this week with a couple of single solves and double solves but hey, three incorrect final jeopardy responses isn’t going to hurt Amy. Speaking of Mount everest, did you know that Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay also made their expeditions on that mountain VJ? They took a long trek to get up there and made headlines. 18 wins so far is very impressive as Amy is closing in on 750K.

    I doubt anyone lost their toes flying across the international date line in an airplane and no it’s not a natural wonder.

  4. VJ says:

    Some people love it when they get a clue that was a triple stumper and I’m no exception, but it’s even better when a superchamp is on.

    I got that Arthur Flegenheimer clue today. I know it because my father lived in Newark, NJ in 1935 when that gangster was shot to death at the Palace Chophouse. My father was 11 years old then. It must have made a big impression on him because he showed me that place when I was about 11.

  5. Richard Corliss says:

    I hope Amy beats the current champions’ records and winning streaks.
