For some reason, it has tonight's Master Minds and People Puzzler as repeats.

Same thing next Friday except on the 24th Switch is also marked as rerun. My guess would be stretching new eps. into May sweeps or Friday is just a bad ratings night.

Well, first time the contestant blew out the Master Mind. For Lakedra, Peru’s currency is the Nuevo Sol.

The Beast not being able to dredge up the word 'diaphragm' reminds me of a lot of my thinking nowadays.

Yes, having all contestants answer in the second round is a big improvement.

I never thought it fair that only the two contestants going on to the third round get interviewed. Just doesn't seem right. Not that the interviews are exciting, mind you.

Maybe he’s just not great on the buzzer. I’ve seen Muffy, Jonathan and Ryan reach the showdown more often.

He's definitely terrible on the buzzer. You can see his frustration. But 3 for 33? That's more than just the buzzer.

Jeopardy! has strict rules with pronunciation with extra letters and letters omitted. Most other shows are more lenient.
