I don't get why you're so bent on holding grudges against game show contestants that have no relation to you. Also, "hearing it from her inner circle of friends and acquaintances to this day." Like come on. If your perception of everyone is really that harsh and begrudging, you've clearly not seeked the professional help that you've so claimed. As far as people still holding onto petty situations like losing on a game show, the only one who seems to be taking it to heart is you. I've been watching Jeopardy! since 2004 (thanks, KJ), and I've seen many reruns of older tournaments, and I definitely don't recognize half of the names you've listed. I've lurked on here for a while, and I've seen a lot of your posts, and while there's so much more I could say about you or even suggest for you, you're stubbornness will continue to prevail and nothing's going to change. In the end, you're just another bitter person on the Internet. Please quit ruining this game for other people, none of us are asking for it.mbclev wrote:She's the Kids Week contestant that misspelled her FJ response of Benjamin Franklin in 2005, thus costing her the game.

Back to the plebs on Monday, should be nice.

No, these other people I have mentioned et al. are taking it to heart as well, because their mistakes were so egregious. (I wouldn't be surprised if thoughts about their mistakes pervade their minds from time to time. If I made such a mistake, I would be bitter about it for years.) And you're right; nothing is going to change, because that's the way I feel about it, and NO ONE is going to change my opinion of it. Your collective credibility took a hit with me when you went crazy at me for my pointing out the "man with a wooden leg" J! clue from 2003 as a sick joke (which it is). I do not ruin it for other people; I'm just stating the facts, and if you can't handle it, then there is something wrong with all of you.zdude69closedrofl wrote:I don't get why you're so bent on holding grudges against game show contestants that have no relation to you.

How can you talk credibility when you quote completely out of context? If you had said "Take a picture [...] with a wooden leg", you might still have some credibility. But I doubt it.mbclev wrote:Your collective credibility took a hit with me when you went crazy at me for my pointing out the "man with a wooden leg" J! clue from 2003 as a sick joke (which it is).
