How many famous Finnish composers are there??? To use Sebelius as a DD in a master’s tournament is ridiculous.

Not watching the reveals. I had no clue as to the bridge. The only NY bridges I know are the Brooklyn and Verrazano Narrows.

I’ll go along with Amy and The Professor. If possible, James looks younger than his last appearance. Does he have a picture in the attic?

The tea pictured is what I call a cream tea. Mayim’s sitcom may have been cancelled in part due to Leslie Jordan’s death. He was the only decent thing on the show.

My sister told me our grandmother had a friend named Hannah Wilson. When my sister and cousin stayed with Grandma, they would take the bus to see Hannah. And we lived in Chicago! But this was in the late 50s early 60s so not the same Hannah Wilson.

Clarence Clemons was the “god” in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure

Is Hannah that quick on the buzzer or are the other contestants just slow? The Jeopardy! round was Teen Tournament level but she was the only one to buzz in. I still don’t like her but am afraid she’ll be around a while. Let me know when it’s safe to watch again.

What GreekGeek said. I don’t like the new champ and her interview story made no sense to me.

I wavered between diphtheria and pertussis. I chose wrongly.

Koala??? Hardly a vicious carnivore.

How long will Ken be gone?

Sad that no one knew William Holden. I came in on the middle of Kevin’s interview. Is he involved with the drag world? Miss Information made me LOL.

Never heard of Saladin. Looked him up in Wikipedia and realized I just don’t care. Sad that nobody got Martha Mitchell. Guess she was before their time.

Diacritical marks was an instaget thanks to Miss Becker, my 8th grade English teacher. I could stand at the podium til the end of the year and not come up with Praetorian Guard. I wanted Igor to win. I loved his story about Jeopardy! helping him learn English because he could see the words as they were pronounced.

I know “hope is the thing with feathers” but the clue made no sense to me. I was expecting to see at least one contestant snoozing. They all seemed so bored, so over it, especially Deb.

I liked Deb Wednesday. Today she came off as totally bored with the whole thing, like she couldn’t wait for it to be over. Dude on the end was lifeless. Lots of ennui (said in AT’s voice) on the Alex Trebek stage today.

I’m sorry to see Daniel go. I loved his hair and he came across as a nice guy. One of my bizarre fascinations is the Chicago World’s Fair, aka The Columbian Exposition so I will gladly listen to his podcast. I’ve read Devil in the White City a few times and it is truly scary.

Doctor Who, not Dr. Anywho (see what I did there?) I had no clue as to FJ! The clue said “it”, not this play or this novel. How will it work with Ben returning? He is a returning champ and I assume there will be another champ.

Anything about the Constitution, Bill of Rights, geography or history causes me to make a negative bet. I get the money if I miss the answer. My own rule…..

I’m still annoyed that I answered Buckminster Fuller instead of Disney. Yesterday I pulled Dallas Cowboys out of some dark forgotten corner of my mind. I knew Mandela but blanked on Tutu. @proserpina65, our Hells are the same.

I don’t think Brian looks a thing like Hitler. It never crossed my mind. He sure is fast on the buzzer. I could see Cameron on Thursday trying to buzz frantically. I have not gotten the last 2 FJs….. P.S. He looks much younger and hipper with the goatee and new hair do.

Not only did I not get FJ!, I couldn’t understand the question!

As soon as she wagered $10k I said “pride goeth before a fall.” How could she not know Holbein??? I know nothing about art but what I’ve learned on J! Holbein was an instaget. Total Clavin.

Got FJ! just in time. Visited Canterbury Cathedral a few years ago so I figured it out. I can’t warm to the champ.

I have an irrational dislike of Stephen. Let me know when he loses.
