I laughed out loud at the "If you have time to lean, you have time to clean." My first job out of high school when I was 17 was at a sandwich shop, and the owner/manager told us that every day. It got burned into my memory and it's still there, even *10* years later. I also got a kick out of the category "Alliteration," based on the multiple comments here about the clue writers suddenly finding that word. I was so certain FJ was Gettysburg. I've been to Gettysburg AND Arlington, but obviously having been to those two places didn't make me any smarter. I'm rooting for Dhruv. Again, probably because of his name and he's different. I'm all about people who are different. (I don't mean Austin different though. There is a difference in different.)

I don't know how you would know this, unless you just don't know any persons of Indian heritage. Maybe it's just me, but I can't tell anyone's religion, or non-religion, just by looking at them. Sometimes I can guess political party however! Plus, one doesn't have to be Catholic to know Bible verses or what Jesus "said." There are lots of religions that use the Bible as their "book." Heck, one doesn't even have to have a religion to know Bible verses, just like one doesn't have to be an opera singer to know opera composers.

I read the clip from Dhruv and said, "Oh, crap" out loud after reading it, to no one because I'm here alone. But I found it that stunning, that Trebek would ASSume two players were not Christian AND that those two players wouldn't understand Latin because ... well, because Trebek is an asshat. I recognized the words as Latin but didn't have a clue it was a phrase from the Bible. And I went to Sunday School/church from a little kid up, was baptized, took communion, was in a church guild, celebrated Stations of the Cross, got the ashes on my forehead on Ash Wednesday, yada yada yada. Yet some non-Christian college kid answered a so-called Bible FJ while I couldn't. WTH. And I don't mean WTH me, I mean WTH Trebek.

Oh don't worry, she was part of the douche-baggery so don't be giving her some free pass on doucheness. Those three mimicked the "adult" ToC three. Remember when Buzzy et. al. did the see/hear/speak no evil intros? These three were doing the I-just-woke-up routine laughed at by no one anywhere. (Thanks Teebax.) Drink. (Thanks, I needed it.) For some reason I'm a Dhruv fan. Maybe it's how he spells his name. So I'm good with his winning. Or not. As for any TSs ... who cares. This show is making me apathetic.

That's how I took it. It has to frustrate Trebek, who has all the answers on his cards, to have so many TSs. We get freaked out here when there are many, or ones we consider easy TSs. Just imagine if we had all the answers beforehand. We'd be apoplectic ... moreso than usual! I'm often in circumstances where I have to stand for long periods of time, in flat shoes on concrete. After a period of time, I will shift my weight to one foot, then another after that foot gets tired. Maybe 15 or 20 minutes per foot. I don't weave back and forth like I'm doing a rain dance or something. Plus my weight shifting isn't noticeable, my body stays in the same place. If they hooked a generator to Thatcher, he could have powered half of LA with his constant weaving.

And the Beatles "I Want To Hold Your Hand." It was easy to sing along to though, so there's that. I listen to current music, including rap, but admit I don't "hear" the words. I'll have to look up that wiggle mess. I mean song. I've probably heard it, just didn't realize it. I recognize music, just not words. I need the answer to this as well. I can't imagine swaying in the breeze if I were ever on that show.

I hate that Trebek gave the TS answer of Cypress is known for copper like everyone in the world knows that, especially Trebek himself, and too bad you three morons don't have MY Trebekian brain. Appaloosa horse of course. That was the first breed of horse I bought when I was 15. You know ... just 10 years ago. *cough* I see Thatcher was still weaving up on that box. He must have at least three sweaters knitted by now from his two appearances. I'd like Eric from Dartmouth to explain to me how The Wire is like Othello. Or anyone: Please do it for him. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Yes. A life well lived.

I guess there's sleeping in the bed Lincoln slept in and there's sleeping in the bed TFLs slept in. Oh, crap. I just watched national news and there was no mention. I'm so sorry to hear that. RIP Mrs. Bush. She was a gratious lady. ...because of Alex. But mainly because those lyrics aren't my idea of lyrics. During that category all I could think was how easy it would be to be a song writer these days. Rihanna would make me a billionaire singing over and over the single word I picked.

Recipe please. Who knows, it might come up in the Gramma's A Dip category and I need to be prepared.

THIS one thousand times. It was not even close to JFK ... or any other accent I've ever heard. Well, Grampa Rittenhouse did say Nixon was "their" candidate. So there's that.

I just heard on the news that Ken's last name (yes that Ken, Barbie-the-doll's boyfriend) is Carson. Ken Carson. Brother to ... any guesses? Just so you guys are prepared when those clues turn up on the show, Barbie's last name is Roberts.

He is so weird at FJ. Besides that, the distant third-place person is either "out of luck" or could "win the whole thing," depending on how his mood is swinging that day. This game was a good example of how the cards fall sometimes with the money bets. Until Jeopardy. Flamenco, flamingo. Like the brothers Kit and Carson Rockefeller. It was a battle of the buzzers. The poor third player never had a chance. I had no investment in Rebecca so was fine with you jinxing her in favor of William. Heart is the first organ that comes into mind for transplant, then "two" from the clue registers in the brain, which means kidney. Rebecca was too fast on the buzzer and spoke before the kidney caught up with her.

I'm hiring you as head Jeopardy judge. I'm right there with you on this. These slacker judges have got to go!

Wyatt needs to pack some Bic razors when he time travels further back than 1980. And how about a comb and some Brylcreem. Lucy changes her hair but Wyatt stays 2018 cool, even during WWII. Wyatt, we'll still love you if you shave and fix your hair once in a while. You know, so you don't get tossed in jail as a vagrant when you go back to a year when men cared about their appearance.

Yes, what was up with that. So irritating, but not surprising these days. Surprised they let T.S. Eliot get in since his initial were included. I did a literal LOL at that. Even better, she guessed the twin gave up ONE of his hearts for a transplant. Made it even funnier. Well, I guess if the guy was an alien or something it could have worked. Trebek irritated me (I know, surprise) by putting an over-emphasized burr on the end of "country," like a video of men in kilts playing bagpipes wasn't enough to tell players the answer was Scotland. I hate when he does that. Surprise miss was protocol from HTTP. I guess I'm on the computer too much. William did a great job, and I thought this game was pretty good. As the buzzer jerking proved, it all comes down to who is the fastest on that apparatus. I watched a video from Lilly Chen where she gave some buzz-in tips as some of the college kids were having problems with that. Are there no toiler-paper-roll holders in dorms?

It was just a nice thing to say to him whether true or not. The guy just learned pretty much his entire family was going to be killed, including him. He needed to hear something positive before going back to live it. Actually, she said Austin, not that it makes any difference where he was killed. I just anticipate you getting a lot of corrections here. LOL!

So: Springfield is the capital of Illinois, and all its capital from taxes is stored in the capitol building. Here is something for all you Triumph The Comic Insult Dog fans:

This might (partly) explain the extreme tanking of the majority of these cream-of-the-college crop of kids this tournament.

JFK's accent was so OTT, I had to look the actor up to make sure it wasn't Vinnie from Doogie Howser. JFK had a Boston accent, not a Brooklyn gangster one. Jessica now all of a sudden being all bad ass and part of the team ... no thanks. She'll be joining the Flying Eyeball team next. Glad she dropped the line about Wyatt being a cheater and womanizer though. If it's true, it's a big warn to Lucy. If it's not true, then Jessica was passive-aggressively telling Lucy to step off from her man. I got a kick out of the Rittenhouse grandpa saying to get rid of Kennedy, they needed a president they could control, like Nixon. Funniest line of the night for me. I didn't see the coin turn into Nixon, but no big deal since Nixon was elected president. It would have been better if it had turned into someone who never was president, although none of us would have recognized the person so there's that. I liked JFK coming into the present though. Even the gas stations are different now. The boy was tripping for sure.

That would be so cool if the Garvey girl tells Garvey all about it and where Lizzie lives, and Garvey's goons go over and kill Lizzie. You know, like they did Tom. Then Red continues on searching for Lizzie's killers all next season. Or, all of a sudden Agnes is grown up all soap-opera style, and Agnes joins forces with Red to hunt Lizzie's killers. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Booster? Rooster! (Canuck chuckle...) "When she bent over, he gooster." (No harassment intended.)

So this makes me wonder: If Worcestershire Sauce were a FJ answer, would players get credit for writing Wustuh Sauce? Discuss!

Well, good thing I'm wearing the Dumb Ass University shirt. I meant SOUTH Carolina. Geesh.

And don't forget SPRINGfield, Illinois. Named after the actress Spring Byington. (You youngters, look her up.) Thinking more about this, what about North Carolina, capitol Columbia. That's a good guess anyway. Better than my Virginia/forgotCapitolName.

Nice job, DrSpaceman, but she said she takes 30,000 to 40,000 per year. So your breakout is conservative. And yeah her friends love it because she has to be a laughing stock. She obviously thinks she is the center of the universe for everyone living ... good luck on that when you, you know, grow up. Maybe if you spent more time studying and less time looking at yourself you wouldn't have flamed out on Jeopardy. So much this! You'd think whomever wrote that clue would have given Trebek that line. But maybe "poop" is a forbidden word on such a high-class show as Jeopardy. Nuts. I just looked up Worcestershire sauce and Wikipedia says "it is sometimes shortened to Worcester sauce." Man, what is this world coming to. Still, that guy said "Worster sauce" so I still say he's wrong. I suppose Worcester is verbally condensed like Louisville. Yeah, that must be it. Which makes it two Kevin Bacons away from the real name IMO. Git off my lawn.
