    Wow, what a game! Though this game happened many years ago, it was still horrible to watch Bob go up in flames like that. He was full of enthusiasm leading up to that first DD. Oh well.

    • VJ says:

      Yes, Cece, to go from the lead to zero that fast. Ouch!

      P.S. I’m not sure if you saw the link I left you the other day to that Ken Jennings commercial

      • Cece says:

        Yes, the bf’s mère saw it and showed it to me (actually she shoved the laptop on my face saying “regarde ça !”), lol. Thanks, VJ.

        BTW, she was impressed that you like Trenet 🙂

        • VJ says:

          That is so funny, Cece! lol. Anyhow, that Ken/Brooke shtick where he tries to impress her and she’s like “yawn” is cute.

          Wow, j’aime aussi Georges Brassens BEAUCOUP, Jacques Brel and that one who sings “Natalie” (can’t remember his name right now), I hope she likes them, too.

        • Cece says:

          She likes them all! And shows it, sometimes all day long. Her son sometimes threatens to play Zero 7, if she doesn’t stop (she hates them)..

    Those daily doubles were not in Bob’s favor but congrats to brad on winning a million dollars. This was a great competition and worth watching.

    Bob, darn those Daily Doubles.
