Said memoriam on Monday, Custer on Tuesday, Michael Jackson on Wednesday, no guess on Thursday, Friday was a near instaget.

I always look at the Contestant Zone to see if I recognize people from other game shows.

Got the right play on Friday, but mixed up E. Albee and E. O'Neill
So far this season, I'm 18/20 on Monday-Thursday FJ!s and 2/5 on Friday. Weird.

Was there a particular reason for the last question, about checking the lineup for the week?

Just a curiosity that occurred to me as I wondered what people do for day-by-day or skipping ahead. Sometimes I see predictions about champs and their chances for longer runs making me suspect it's not only about the current game but also snap judgments about the rogues' gallery for the remainder of the week. It's as if some posters are negatively writing off the upcoming challengers for factors of age, race, gender, job, location, etc.

J!Board looks like its mostly one-day-at-a-time for learning about the contestants for the week.

So basically if we meet in the green room, I want to be picked to play you on the Friday episode. :D

After getting a 4/5 week for the first time in regular play since April, I responded with a lousy week.

Said mourning on Monday, Custer on Tuesday (Hickok came to me at the 31st second), and went West instead of East on Thursday. Couldn't remember if Clyde or Sue was the 4th ghost from Pac-Man.

I'll check the lineup to see if there's any Canadians on during the week, but that's my only purpose for doing so.
