The Martin-Short-Chase question threw me off. Just the phrasing of it. Like, I spent way too long wondering what Martin Short was chasing.

My best friend's brother was on Friday (and won!) and again Monday (lost.) It's been really cool hearing about the process from people who went to a taping. Congrats Eli. :3:

LOL he was the guy who won like $4k on Friday because everyone got final wrong and the other two bet too much, right? One of the least ept champions.

Guys, find a woman who looks at you the way GhostStalker looks at every bald, obese, single 58 year old accountant from Tulsa who managed to win $4,000 by not wagering on a Final Jeopardy triple stumper.

A zero bet from the lady in second place even though she got it right meant that she came in third rather than second by $1. That's about it.

Before I do anything, I think, well what hasn't been seen. Sometimes, that turns out to be something ghastly and not fit for society. And sometimes that inspiration becomes something that's really worthwhile.
I'm a little surprised they didn't accept "Moonies" for the Unification Church (or issue a correction). Though I can understand why, as they specifically asked for the church, not its members. It still seems like a bit of a gray area.

Super awkward phrasing, obscure original source, non-obvious back linkages from the "contemporary" (60's) derivative works. Really bad.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought so. It really feels like they have a new clue writer and they haven't quite trained them well, or something. There have been some really bad categories lately.

Assuming you're referring to "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf", yeah. That was brutal. I came to the thread to post about it, it was so rough.

I guessed "Bare Necessities" from Jungle Book but was nowhere close.

years and years ago there was a wheel of fortune episode where it was parent or grandparent/child or grandchildren pairings. one pair was this woman and her ancient grandmother and the board was something like YES VIRGINIA _HERE IS A SAN_A CLAUS and the old bat actually said "W".
