      Me too. So, Steve Moulds is the 1 champion that will take Brayden Smith’s place in the Tournament of Champions.

  3. klm says:

    i hate it, i hate it, I HATE IT when time runs out and clues left on the board. in round 1 it happened because of meaningless blather about royalty and relaxation. in round 2 it happened because of over politeness: “can i have [entire category name] for [dollar amount] please?” OH PLEASE, leave your show-offy politeness off the stage. there’s a game to be played here, it’s serious business. you are not the star of the show, neither is the host. the only thing that counts is the clues.

    • Rick says:

      I can understand your frustration, but how would the game be if it excludes the human element?

      • klm says:

        true Rick. but humans need to understand time cannot be wasted on frivolous words or gestures. like yesterday, jim cooper kept making these exaggerated sounds to get a laugh from the crowd. just for that im GLAD he lost today and couldn’t muster enough for his triplets’ college tuition. (i know im being really mean here : ).

    • Howard says:

      I can understand your frustration. I too thought early on that the interviews were taking a bit too long tonight. Many years ago, I was on “Split Second” for three days. I believe it was the second day when they did some kind of a Happy Birthday tribute to someone before the game started, which eventually cost me $$ even though I won that game.

      And when I was on Jeopardy, there were 4 clues left when the 2nd round ended. Didn’t know it till I looked up at the overhead scoreboard, but I needed to answer ONE MORE question to keep the champ from having a lock game. So it did me no good when I bet it all in FJ, got it right, and she bet $0 and flubbed it.

    • VJ says:

      I think you’re overreacting, klm. That’s some pretty intense frustration over 2 clues not being shown! Look at it like the betting — this is something that will happen again and again on the show so why get mad about it?

      Also, it’s only serious business for the contestants because they are the only ones that have something to win or lose. If some of them don’t take it seriously, why should the viewer get upset?

  4. Jac says:

    But Laura added three exclamation marks. So she must think it’s Twisted Siste !!!

    • VJ says:

      Hi Jac, she had two question marks after her response, the second one of them without the dot under it. To me, it looked like she was still writing when time ran out.

  5. Lou says:

    It’s been almost a month since we had a five time champ so let’s hope Laura can get a string of wins going. And also, Journey is one of my favorite bands. I would have loved to see Jim acing that category on the Ryan Gosling Movies. We finish off this week with a couple of triple stumpers.

    Mike did a great job guest hosting jeopardy so we shall see how the rest of the celebrities do.

    • Quinn says:

      For some reason I had a feeling Laura would win today and I’m glad she won and hopefully she will get final jeopardy on monday!
