M. Darcy

Or who is someone who has never been in my kitchen.

(My “real” name is Jenny) My song was a question!! Tonight was a lot of clues for me: the song, Jane Austen and a Groffsauce question. Not knowing John Ratzenberger’s last name is just wrong. If you are going on Jeopardy you really have to know all about Cliff Clavin, the patron saint of Jeopardy contestants. Aw, missing the Hamilton question. I’m still convinced a writer is obsessed with the show. As many of us are.

Yep - I got a snarky response from Alex to my story. Heh, which was a cat story.

I can’t decide if Billy is being stupid or the writers forgot but of course Jay would have an issue with Janine moving in. We’re just saw the old episodes here - last time Janine moved in with Billy and Jay she set him up so that Peggy think he stole from her and basically helped push him to run away.

(Another) 3/5 with 1 M*

There’s an entire musical about it! No one knew Maude????!!!!

It’s nice having the show back to normal with people starting at the top of the board and answering in full sentences. I also said Harpers for FJ.

Now I'm really sad that Jessica lost. If she had won that would have meant that all 3 top players were defeated by a woman.

We actually had a get together in the DC area of the local KenVictims to watch it together. We made the news! I was interviewed by the local station and CNN showed the clip. We knew the date it would happen because the second he lost, it was on the internet 2 seconds later. I think people who are saying Matt threw the game aren’t being fair to the other two contestants who played an awesome game. Sometimes is comes down to someone having a bad game and someone having a good one.

While I think the other two played a really great game and not to take anything away from them, Matt might have also just hit the wall mentally. It’s exhausting playing that many games (through a million different hosts) and that was a lot of traveling he had to do.

It’s finally over!! At least he beat James‘s record. Ken’s record is safe! The local channel totally gave it away when they had a commercial and asked if Matt was in Jeopardy.

Who knows if it really made a difference but going on Rachel's show seemed to help Timothy Snyder's book sales. I tried to find the new graphic edition of On Tyranny and its sold out everyone I tried. And, its sold out on the Barnes and Nobles website too - they can't ship until next week.

We just had that episode recently in the States! Sometimes the episodes match up seven year apart - Janine in the States and back in the UK.

Heh, it seems that with baseball, the schedule to show it is just anytime in either October or November.

Some Oz news - there’s a new documentary about Rita Moreno and they actually show the Oz years (with some clips of Sister Pete and Keller). Heh and Meloni looks so young. And some sad news - Granville Adams who played Zahir Arif has died.

3/5! Better than I thought I did.

It’s ridiculous they keep letting him get away with this stuff - just saying Adams should never have been accepted. And not that long ago, it never would have been.

I thought there was a chance tonight to end this but hopes dashed again. I got FJ immediately then started wondering if it was a Ben Franklin saying.

It’s total bs that Matt didn’t have to answer the full names in the baseball category. The clue had both initials- he should have had to give both names.

2/5 and it looks like I have 1 M (Roger Rabblt).

Ah, I’ve probably only heard the British pronunciation. In connected news, PBS tonight showed Agatha Christie’s The Mirror Crack’d - the poem is where she got the title from.

No one knew Lady of Shallot :-(. And I think Mayim pronounced Shallot wrong.

Bart’s line about Rent and Mimi made me laugh.

4/5! Same as last week.

That was way too easy a FJ - that’s a $200 question.
