Lisa alternated between appearing composed and being abrupt and looking flippant. I didn’t know which way to go with her.
I got FJ easily, which I say, because, what else could it be?
Goodbye Cruel World! “The Grapes of Wrath” by Hemingway? Ouch. “Adam and Eve” from “This Side of Paradise”? I thought that title was a dead giveaway, but you had to know who wrote it.
Other than the Hutton-Penn film and the Coward play, the stumpers and FJ puzzled me. Should have known the Aldous Huxley clue, because way back in HS a literate friend told me the Doors had taken their name from the quote attributed to Huxley’s source. (I saw the Doors perform in1967 as the opening act for Simon and Garfunkel. The preppy crowd did not like them.)
Was that before they were on Ed Sullivan; Howard? Even the gals who didn’t like long hair on guys were swooning over Jim post-Ed!
The show I saw was Aug. 12, 1967. My son bought me a repro poster a couple years ago. Sullivan show was 5 weeks later.
Lisa was annoying to watch with all her strange facial expressions. Glad to see her go.
A lot of people loved Lisa and found her reactions and chat stories quite entertaining.
Another tough final as we got a double stumper.
Oh, well. Better luck for the returning champion next time. For Thursdays in March, 2 good things happened. 1. Justin Bolsen won the High School Reunion Tournament, and 2. Stephen Webb won his 8th and last game.
Poor Lisa, she was up and down all game and unfortunately ended the game in the red. I felt bad for Lisa and you can tell that Lisa was sad that Ken was telling her she’s not going to be playing FJ! But she is leaving us with 2 wins and she’ll always be a Jeopardy champion for the rest of her life. In today’s interviews Sharon has a sister named Kathy who was on the show 5-6 years ago and came in third. But Sharon won the game and made her sister proud.
