She's freakin' adorable and I hope she sneaks in as a wild card somehow.

At least he guessed. That other guy wagered everything but didn't even put an answer. Congrats, you just gave yourself 0% chance of winning. Now that's dumb.

I actually managed to guess it right by the date, having just read Vonnegut's Bluebeard.

Crap. I was rooting for Monica too, if only because she seemed to be having fun, unlike Mr. Snipes The Daily Doubles (which I suppose is a legitimate strategy but STILL). Also, the way DD Sniper leaned forward to answer every time bothered the crap out of me. You have a lav on, dude. The mics haven't been on the podiums since... what, the mid 90's?

She won't get into the Wildcard round, sadly-- needed to bet more than that, she should have bet it all and she would have been guaranteed a spot. There are 4 wildcard spots as far as I know. 3 semi final games with 5 quarter final winners and 4 wild card winners.

Heh, I could probably beat that... but I can't take the shame for it. But there are two long-time Jeopardy crushes I have had. I just looked at Kate, she is very cute.

Okay, gently caress it...

The shame is so thick you could slice it with a katana.

What's immature about a guy who wants a lady who has brains and beauty?

Seriously, we've got a dearth of intelligence in this country. I'm bi so I feel the same way about men. I've got a crush on this scientist that I've known for about 10 years now.

It was more the guy who was roughly 26 at the time wanting to marry a then-high school junior, but I've let it go.

Well, she's 18 or 19 now and he's 28. I know happily married couples who have wider age discrepancies than that.

The best reply was the one in the game with Colby (I haven't watched in a few days and just caught up tonight) when the guy guessed Lake Louise as the answer to the lake between Austria, Germany and Switzerland and Alex is like "No, the correct answer is Lake Constance, the one in Europe" because the best Alex moments are when he gets indignant that Jeopardy contestants usually don't know a lot about Canada.

It feels like instead of a difficulty increase, they just shifted the questions toward the academic to the point where a high school quiz bowl style breadth of knowledge will be what takes it down. If it stays that way, I think Jason Keller will walk away with the title.

I'm an rear end. I saw "Christ the Healer" but knew it didn't sound right. I knew exactly what they were referring to, just not that one part.

Also, I like that one lady works for NASA. I'm rooting for her. And Colby of course. Colby rules.

Kristin is odd. Depending on what outfit she wears, she can look like she's in her 30's, late 40's, or pushing 60.
