Time warp. I got Molly (didn't anyone's mother/grandmother teach these children anything?) U of Chicago (Pritzker, please) and El Dorado. Trebek has made it known not starting at the top of a category is his pet peeve so he spanks Dave for choosing the bottom clue first, implying that's why he lost. IMO, the others kept beating him on the buzzer -- it was obvious he was working his buzzer but kept getting locked out. So he made a few bad guesses. That's no reason for a public scolding. As I posted above, Pat and Vanna are so much nicer to their players than is Trebek.

Oh, when you put it like that, I totally understand. Apologies for what I thought was a Pat/Vanna dis!

Yes. No kidding. That's like saying if I wanted to know Potent Potables I would drink alcohol. Or, if I wanted to know opera, I would listen to it. I could do those "If I's" all day! I thought the Wheel clues were pretty easy. Just fill in the crossword letters. Don't have to like the show. Although IMO Sajak is so much nicer to his guests than is Trebek.

Lauren ... wow to the spray tan. Back to this season: Sloth Girl is getting her 15 minutes of fame. Her clip has also been on Kimmel and TMZ, and she's been talked about ad nauseum on the radio. I still don't know her name or what she looks like though, she's just "Sloth Girl."

My plan for Sunday! And I made horesradish sauce when Dr. Toothbrush grilled filets last Sunday, so I am all set for the leftovers. I'm up for that birthday celebration prime-rib-eating contest. Happy early b-day, T-brush! I'm an expert on birthday freebies: Red Robin, Denny's, Noodles, Starbuck's ... the list goes on and on. Hope you get to sample a few. Thanks for this, Zoey. Now I'm set for what made Coffeyville a "cool" place to stop for refreshments. I've been to and through Nebraska many times and never had any Kool-Aid. There's something so wrong about that.

Followed by a chaser of guacamole ... that's really wasabi!

Biggest takeaway from today's episode: Nebraska has a state drink! WTH! TSs I made note of: Horseradish, because every prime rib buffet has horseradish as a side. That, plus I love horseradish and put it on a variety of eats. Joe Cool. I named a dog Joe Cool. He won quite a bit at shows. Rotator cuff. Because I have shoulders. Today I have the opportunity to make fun of everyone who didn't instantly know FJ, including the players, but I'm not that sort. IEIYKI. And I knew it without ever having seen a single episode (antenna tv, three channels, remember?). But I created an identity for a kennel that named a litter after all the Soprano characters so looked at that logo a lot. Finally, my life paid off. The composer category though, total tank. Proof that everything evens out in the end!

At least you have something to blame. So there's that!

LOL! You needed one of those old put-a-quarter-in bed shakers found in every roadside motel! I can picture myself falling over after getting off that Lindblad ship onto non-moving terra firma, like those people who do the head spin around a baseball bat.

Yes, they were dime novels. I didn't notice Trebek not saying the correct answer, I just heard his exposé on when dime stores were invented. The Old West category was right up my alley, the clues/answers were as simple to me as if they were asking what I like to put in my coffee. Okay, dumb example, but one of "my" categories doesn't happen all that often so I gotta brag on something. Dime novels also connects to our discussion of favorite old western tv shows we had in another thread. Just last week a writer went on a bounty hunt with Josh Randall! Watch for his dime novel coming to a Border's near you.

@Browncoat, I am looking forward to your rotating penguin avatars. No offense to @opus. What? Are you not feeling the residual sea sickness? For sure that's a call-in *cough* for a day off work tomorrow. Jet lag and all. Although I was surprised to learn the time is only two hours off. I guess it is straight south though, not east or west. So DUH to me I'd be all about that trip, waves and all. Not sure if the 20-ft. waves wouldn't squee me out though, not from motion sickness but rather thinking about the ship capsizing. Life jacket, please. What was the temp while you were penguin viewing? I'm good to about -10F, lower than that I have to zip up the coat.

I made a note that a dime novel is not a dime STORE novel, then judges reversed their decision and ruled it incorrect. So i got nothin'.

Thanks for the link, @Browncoat. I did search through the Lindblad (and other ... there are others!) sites but did not know about expeditions.com. I will for sure go and read the daily journals. Yeay! I get to go to Antarctica vicariously! Did you see any of my twins, the Macaroni penguins? I am taller, but otherwise, the resemblance is scary.

Welcome home, @Browncoat. I can't imagine all you saw and did. A trip of a lifetime. Well, it would have been for me. I'm interested in all the minute details ... about everything! You need to watch Insomnia, a movie you can relate to in a different way now. Stop back when you are tan, rested and ready ... to jump back into the Jeopardy thread. Glad all went well.

Photoshop.

So did I, even knowing the year was wrong so Burns was wrong too. But Burns is my go-to Scotsman. Easy: You are psychically connected to Mr. Trebek and the Jeopardy studio. LOL!

When a poster pages back asked if we wished Jason were TB, I figured that meant Molly's Jason, the one who invented The Mesnick Move. I've already forgotten any other Jasons, including any who were shown last night ... and I paid no attention to. Jimmy Kimmel picked his winner (if you can call her a winner, being chosen by Colton) and runner up last night. He says his wife does the picking, and his choices always are correct. Which means, to me, that his wife reads RS and has been spoiled. So thanks, Jimmy, now I am spoiled too. Not that it makes any difference. Not sure if I'm in for the long run this season for, oh, so many reasons. It's not even fun to be a Wrong Reasons viewer any more. Clue: Shark jump.

I guess that's a clue as to how boring this season is going to be. They had to fill the time with all this "live party" and hot tub cr*p instead of showing the cocktail party or any conversations. And the evening went on longer than any other. That's harsh. (And doesn't bode well for The Most Drah Matic Season.)

*crickets* Don't hold your breath, like "they" say. We'd miss you around here!

Her name is Hannah and I have no idea who she is or anything else. Just remember "Hannah" in upcoming episodes. Maybe we can figure it out. I don't pay much attention until about half way through the season and even then I don't know most of them. Colton is getting lots of TMZ time. Just saw him on that show a bit ago, getting questions from the paps while going into some LA eatery -- with his "entourage." *coughfamewhorecough* You mean after falling for it 43 times before this? Good for you!

And I didn't know he was Scottish.

LOL, Colton leaps over a 10-ft. privacy fence and disappears into the night, never to be seen again! He joins a wild pack of wolves in the Ukrainian outback, grows some hair on his chest and fights the alpha wolf for pack dominance. He loses. Yes! He went from walking through some trees to a glacier. That was one hella long hike in that suit. Same here. Not that it matters to me at all.

Now get ready for scenes from upcoming episodes, complete with lots of tears, male and female. It's the Most Drah Matic Season Evah! --TM CH

Did production put that pumpkin there just so they could film "Cinderella" leaving the ball after not "finding her prince?" Those guys do have a wicked sense of humor.

I WIN!!!!!!!!!
