I nailed both Final Jeopardy answers. I can't believe neither of them got Silence of the Lambs.

I got hung up trying to think of the comedy since I figured those nabbing best actor/actress are more rare and easier to narrow down but failed because As Good As It Gets is such a forgettable movie.

It was the hardest drat question I have seen. "Which 2 Secretaries of State were never married?"

Ken lost. :(

(the answer was Buchanan and Rice)

What a finish. Can't say Brad didn't deserve the win, and it's hard to argue against him as the best player of all time at this point. And I say that as KenJen's biggest fan.

That tournament was just ridiculously entertaining. Gonna be weird going back to regular games on Monday. Anyone else see that promo with Arthur?

These two Secretary's of State, serving 160 years apart are the only two to remain unmarried.

I'm team Rutter and glad this happened. I was hoping for a classic Bread and Rutter beatdown, but at least Ken didn't win.

I got this FJ just by remembering Buchanan was a bachelor and assumed he might have been an earlier secretary of state.

Yeah, this is how I ended up with the answer. "One has to be Condi, because people think she's gay...oh, everyone thinks Buchanan was gay and he was unmarried and he would have possibly been Secretary of State about 160 years before her."

I was shocked Ken didn't get it, considering he had Buchanan. He would have had to have been Secretary of State two decades before he became president to come 160 years before Albright.

I got it because I figured Buchanan had been secretary of state (he was practically everything else, after all), and knew he was a bachelor, so just counted forward from there.

It's not like Ken really even needs that money. It doesn't matter what Brad does, he will never be Ken. And he knows that.

Since the beginning of time, man has yearned to destroy the sun.


The last two weeks have been Jeopardy heaven and I don't know if I can go back to regular play. At least the current champion is pretty good at the game. It would be silly for them to do a Battle of the Decades every year (watch Ken and Brad win more money!) but I could stand to see them do some sort of elite-tier games for a few weeks of summer. Better that than Celebrity Jeopardy most of the time.

Which anecdote did you find more endearing? His attempt to start a sitcom about a pub quiz team, or him wrecking his Porsche and wanting to win the tournament to buy a new one?

I don't hate him, but I find him a lot less endearing than Jennings. He seems really manic in his appearances in the show, his jokes are a lot less funny than he thinks they are, and he has the annoying habit of retweeting all his "haters." Can't help but respect his game, though.

I'm not gonna call him dumb, because he clearly knew a lot of stuff, but he he really should have STAYED CLAM.

Nice to get an easy FJ after the last two brutal weeks.

Did Julia let out a "Yesss" under her breath when she hit the daily double today? That was kind of funny. I think she did it yesterday too.

Well that was a trainwreck of an episode. Clues that I got that none of the contestants did: Texas A&M, Miami, Edwin Stanton, Phil Gramm, passenger pigeons, and the Milky Way.

And why why why WHY would you bet $200 on a Daily Double when you're down by a lot and Alex has said there's less than a minute to go? Even if she'd gotten it right, she would have no chance of winning. BET TO WIN
