Can't believe the two women didn't know which amendment gave women the right to vote. That is 10th grade poo poo. I had to memorize all the amendments in a regular class, and still know 3/4 of them.

During the commercial break, it donned on me that they meant "sex" as in "gender"*, and so I already knew it was the 19th Amendment.

*I'm not sure what other words to use, please don't hate me for being politically incorrect.

Ugh, 40 is the best I did...there were ten I know I got wrong/skipped, and another 5 I was iffy about.

I can't believe I couldn't think of Cornell.

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.

Still, I'm rooting for her and Colby.

Last night's lady was from Shadyside, OH, a lovely peace of crap where some of my family lives. She didn't win though, so now she'll never leave.

Also that FJ question was a joke.

E: Although I'm curious how they get to 11, since I only count 5.

E2: Now I see it. We declared against several countries at once in some of the wars.

Jennings could just not want to do it; knowing a lot and being funny in print doesn't mean he'd make a good performer.

My girlfriend just got called up for the New York audition; she already totally embarrasses me at bar trivia so this should be interesting.

I'm pretty sure Jennings said he would love to, but hadn't been asked.

Holy poo poo an actual attractive girl I'd like to gently caress is on jeopardy. It's been like 2 months since that has happened. Hopefully fatso gets the boot.

Uh. Ok.

Anyway, it seems like the last 2 winners have sort of "lucked" in to victory. That's alright, I suppose, but it sure is boring.

After Final jeopardy, the camera switches and although the winning outcomes are the same, the answers are different (the champion's said "What is Kitty Hawk, NC?").
