I'm also still wondering about Adam Bibler and the "Jeauniu" incident. If ruled correctly, Bibler would have won with $500.seaborgium wrote:I wondered that same thing last night. It took my mind back to the incident that got Arianna Kelly a second chance: she was wrongly negged on an $800 clue, the eventual winner rebounded, and Arianna ended up trailing the eventual winner by more than $1,600 but less than $2,400 entering FJ. I can imagine the producers saying at that point, "We could give her $1,600 back, but she'd still be in third place when we know she ought to be in second. Let's see how FJ turns out, and if she doesn't win and we think she would have from second place, we'll invite her back." Of course, that's entirely made up, but I can't imagine TPTB didn't realize their error before the game was over.Rex Kramer wrote: Imagine how you'd have felt if everything else played out the way it did, except that, after you gave your "rumba" answer, Katie had buzzed in with the "salsa" answer they were looking for. When they reversed the neg on you just before FJ, she'd have kept the points she'd received for her correct answer and stayed ahead of you. All by the book, and fair play by all contestants -- but would you have walked away grumbling that Katie didn't "deserve" the win because she'd never have gotten the points if your answer had been ruled correct in the first place? Given your posting above, I don't imagine you would. Well, your case is even cleaner than that hypothetical. Tough break for Katie, but you still deserved the win.
