I was blown away by Ken’s wit at the end of Double J. The last clue played dealt with Poe’s Raven and one question was not shown. He said (more or less) “that question will be seen, nevermore”. So sharp and done on the spot!
Its not at all relevant, but Amy is adorable, especially when her midwestern accent comes out on certain words.
Incorrect Matt bet on final Jeopardy. He bet $3998 and ended up with &2. The picture underneath shows the correct result.
yes, thanks. I thought I had fixed that line.
👍
10 PM start tonight due to NFL draft. Living in the Pacific NW and familiarity with Puyallup made FJ a slam dunk.
All 3 DDs were very knowable, although the first was an either-or one.
Same for the two stumpers in Lawful Quotes.
Matt was up and down all game and couldn’t stay with the others. And his “Let’s go” every time he had control of the board wore very thin. Although he’s certainly not the only player to have done that.
I said to my wife, “it’s either Mt Rainier or Mt St Helens”, and I gambled and lost!
However, I did get 2/3 DD (said John Smith, not Rolfe), and most of the TS.
I do have to ask, though – what exactly is a “democracy entrepreneur”?
Apparently it is someone who wears a t-shirt and sneakers when appearing on national TV.
For some reason, I thought the stage on Jeopardy! is cold. If I ever get on, I thought I would wear an aloha shirt (as I essentially do that every day), but figured I’d have to have a blazer over it. Huh.
What’s up with all the triple stumpers on Thursday?
