The innominate situation almost happened today. Amy suddenly came to life toward the end of Double Jeopardy when Nathan desperately needed to get to 50% of Rory. Essentially if Amy had prevented that, she would have sunk both herself and Nathan. It would be rational in that situation to stay clam. I...

I was spoiled on Monday and Tuesday's games by seeing an ad for Jeopardy on Tuesday evening announcing that Sam was on a a terrific roll. So last night I watched Monday's and Tuesday's games knowing in advance that Sam would win both. FJ was extremely easy. I was also amused by the question about th...

Thanks for the td. And congrats to kara^2

It was clear to me by the middle of the Jeopardy round that the so-called liquor lawyer just didn't have it. Then came the surprising rise by Heather. But it was Sam who was consistent throughout the game and despite a lot of stand and stares was able to score when he needed to. It would have been p...

Redundancy. A woodwind is a type of horn.

Thanks to Mark Barrett for the quick and thorough analysis.

Every Good Boy Does Fine (treble)

Good Boys Do Fine Always (bass)

Yes, those are the mnemonics for the lines on the respective staffs. The mnemonic for the spaces are face for the treble clef and all cows eat grass for the bass clef.

Holy mutton, I'm in the sheep cellar, Batman.

Actually, Geraldine Ferraro's husband was John Zaccaro. I was going to say that. It was a good game. I figured Ryan was toast when I saw how instaget that FJ was. The new champ is from Minneapolis, isn't he? I thought that was kind of embarrassing when Margaret rang in ahead of him on that Minnesot...

LOL, just LOL at Odessa having 1500 miles of subways. Ryan made the TDD of desperation to save what was otherwise an utterly mediocre game. I knew that the correct answer on that blood type question was AB. Can someone calculate what difference it would have made in final if the challenger had eithe...

I have nothing to say

I got officious right away.

Don't expect game shows to reconstruct elements of foreign language that don't correspond to sounds in English.

I got jury-rigged right away.

It sounded like more than one of the contestants were making excess noise with their signaling devices. That is completely unacceptable.

Has anyone ever gone driving down the highway in a makeshift model ta?

I thought I was clever saying Klobuchar. Instead I painted myself white and went baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

I knew Skelton was the correct answer and recognized Buttons as negbait.

I said Caribbean but I knew it didn't have as much area as the clue asked for. At least it had nine letters.

I saw Titanic twice in the theater when it came out and I saw it in 3D in 2012 and I I'm sure I've seen it on video a couple of times. It is a serious question whether Rose died at the end of the movie, but I had no doubt that she intentionally threw The Heart of the Ocean into the ocean. Does someo...

Yes, I remember the comment about the high-scoring SJ rounds. If I were there, I would take that as a signal that the games in general were high-scoring, and also the WC scores. Everything is information.

He also made a comment about how high the scores had been all week at the start of the game.
