    What happened to Mayim Bialek? I mean, she only hosted the Jeopardy game show for 7 weeks, and then it was back to Ken Jennings.

    No, I didn’t get FJ, but that nation did turn up periodically in the Jeopardy game.

    • Rick says:

      Hmmmm……….That may have not been wise for Mayim Bialik to walk off the Jeopardy set like that, and in sympathy with the Writers Guild of America strike. In fact, my guess is that she will be given the boot.

    I though Ken gave a dirty look when no one could answer the very easy math questions!

    Missed the show entirely, so relying on the recap.
    Sneak Peek clues appear to have nothing to do with US Cities in books.
    Wise wager by Anji to pull it out. I had no clue on FJ but would have guessed Lesotho.
    Middle DD was easy–IF you know what a shepherd’s tool is.

    My oh my, lots of stumpers. Knew the diamond mogul, the U racing family, Japanese fish, lottery racket, trig function, 3x2x1/3!, and the 2 components of blood pressure.

    • VJ says:

      Howard, that was the Opposites category — we were having internet issues when the show was on so I put the Books category on the Early Spoiler, but I didn’t really want it because the Daily Double was in it. Besides that, switching to Opposites, I got 2 triple stumpers out of the way.

      The title is fixed now. Thanks for mentioning it.
