First of all, I'm raising my hand, although I have always been leery of repair folks coming to my house. I usually try to have someone over here with me for safety in numbers, but it's not always possible. Your post made me think of something that happened a few months ago when I was at Costco with my girlfriend. She'd gone to put the cart away while I started up the car. She didn't come back for a while, and when I looked I couldn't see her. So, naturally, I assumed she'd been abducted. I was just getting ready to get out of my car and look for her when she reappeared. She thinks I watch way too much true crime. (It turns out she has the attention span of a squirrel and saw something shiny, which she then went to look at.) I could also mention the many times she's come into a room and made me jump 10 feet out of my chair because she walks so quietly. I may put Tic Tacs in her pocket ala Elaine Benes on Seinfeld.

That 'O' category really tripped her up. There were other wild guesses I've now forgotten too.

He's a five timer, so he'll make the TOC. Today was game six. I was happy when Susan got Zen to prevent the runaway. I wasn't bothered by Jon except for the board hopping, which the other contestants did as well. My gets were Maui, Orthodox Christmas, and old maids. I didn't get FJ. I guessed Romani with little confidence. I learned today that a saluki is a dog. I looked up pictures, and it's a fine-looking breed. I like Susan but doubt she'll repeat.

I'm over the board hopping. Ugh. My gets were cadaver, the entire Confucius category, Howard's End, and James Boswell. FJ was an instaget for me. WAs Jon trying to be funny at the end? I thought maybe his conservative wagering bit him.

This game might have been easier for them if they'd started at the top of the categories. Good lord that was not fun. My TS gets were Calgary, means, chablis, Swee Pea, Turow, Shutter Island, pop, Robert Baden-Powell. I also got FJ immediately. I have never heard it called the "Hundred Year War." I learned it as "Hundred Years' War." Also kodiak bear is not an island off of Alaska, which is what the clue requested. I wish they'd tighten up the judging.

I felt bad for Trevor. He played so well but misspoke on Prohibition Party and missed FJ. I got: diabetes, Yonkers, To Sir With Love (broke my heart no one got that one since it's a favorite of mine) and Ross Perot. I also got FJ, but only because I recently watched a documentary on it on the Smithsonian Channel.

I heard that too and figured I misheard him.

I got FJ by focusing on the "zwei" instead of the flower. Then i thought Germany and couldn't think of a musical for it. So i then went to Austria. My TS gets werre Chicago PD, According to Jim, and The Good Fight. Did any of you get No Gore? I thought that was a very tough clue.

This is one of those cases where I read one person's comment and say to myself, "I agree with them. He's totally guilty." Then I read someone else's comment and say to myself, "I agree with them. He's totally not guilty." That amount of doubt leads me to my own conclusion that he may be guilty, but the prosecutors couldn't prove it.

I just want to thank SRTouch for watching reruns so I don't have to! I did tune in to re-watch rent-a-ho. I'd forgotten how she stupidly thought she was mocking MM after MM mocked her. She seems delightful. I'm not surprised men are lining up to pay money to go out with her. Well, one man. Okay, one sort-of-a man. I'm bummed that we're back in reruns since I'm finally officially on summer vacation and was looking forward to enjoying the cases with you fine folks. I'm back from my sister's mess of a wedding, which was everything I predicted it would be. I swear she's going to end up on a court show someday... I won't bore you with too many details, but it started 1 1/2 hours late and featured my sister deciding she was going to cancel the whole thing because she couldn't fit into her dress that she hadn't tried on in the two months leading up to her wedding date. My response was, "Bitch, I flew almost 3,000 miles to see this hot mess of a wedding. You're getting married today, and if I have to sew your ass into this gown, that's what we're doing." Then she disappeared for almost two hours after the ceremony while everyone was waiting for the reception to start. She and I share parents and not much else.

I didn't quote you and wasn't referring to you. Some days I think FJ is offensively easy. Today wasn't that type of day for me.

I struggled with fj too before figuring it out. I didn't find it as offensively easy as others, I guess. I got: Mulligan, David, snails, paper currency, and Keynes. Nathan was a bad sport. Clint was irritating but genuinely jolly. I was also rooting for the female contestant.

Thank you! I'm sure that's where I read it.

He didn't bother me either, although I noticed the blinkinh thing today.

I just read or heard it recently too, and I can't remember where. It's driving me nuts. I think I would've gotten it anyway because it seemed obvious to me. I got Lender's and facepalming. The last guy seemed to be slow playing at the end of the game. I know it's a strategy, but I hate it. Marmalade, Trump, and Hoffa were the answers that had me chuckling. Also, I know Nathan had to bet enough to cover the former champ, but I felt like he should've bet more. Thoughts? BTW, I missed my fellow boardies while away on vacation. (Technically, I'm still on vacation because I'm a teacher.) I'm glad to be able to watch my show and discuss it with my fellow fans.

I've noticed that whenever a litigant has an old car, they never mention the year. When it's newer, they usually do. "Oh, I have a Cadillac" sounds better than "I have a fifteen-year-old caddy." I would add the usage of "whenever" when it should be "when" to the drinking game. It absolutely drives me nuts.

I got mitt, summer and fall, and palo verde. I never had allergy issues until I moved to Arizona. I had a skin test, and it's mesquite and palo verde that are killing me. Unfortunately, they're both hard to avoid. I have a huge palo verde tree in my front yard. This was a good game, I thought. ETA I missed FJ.

That defendant in the first case had a tooth that was a color I've never seen in anyone's mouth. You're right, Angela. This was a crappy episode.

I'm sure they would have. It wasn't a show, but White Men Can't Jump had a great Jeopardy scene. I got: periwinkle, young turks, young goodman brown, and Zimmerman. I got FJ as well. What a difference a day makes!

I'm convinced they do it solely to piss me the heck off. Works every time, too!

That was an LOL moment for me.

I forgot to add that I think Jeremy cost himself a runaway game with a bad last guess. I think said hurricane when they'd just had a question about hurricanes.

Games like this really make me angry that I haven't been called for the show. I got Mayweather, thr FBI daily double, flint, English, chicken dance, and jet stream. I got fj by realizing it was three cities and remembering Delta's logo. I didn't even consider the Mississippi delta part, which is cool to know now. Peter was crazy nervous and screaming. Jeremy over-enunciated everything. Barbara just annoyed me. Worst game in a long time.

I had someone get in my face at a bar. Due to my reaction, I'm not permitted to enter there again. At least it was back in the days when they didn't call the cops for every little skirmish. The DJ in that first case should have used some of that tattoo money to fix his teeth. I know it's shallow, but I have a thing about people with awful teeth. If you can afford to get all that damn ink, why not fix your damn teeth? And enough with the God talk. It's so annoying. Why oh why can't I live in a place where people keep their religious nonsense to themselves? I don't care if you pray to the Flying Spaghetti Monster. It has NOTHING to do with your TV court case. The plaintiff was shady AF. You know she received both pages of the contract. She thought she was being smart by only bringing page 1. She's not smart enough to know the default position on a contract though. Freaking idiot.

That was the worst category I've seen since "What Women Want." Jesus Christ, Jeopardy. It's 2017. Cut it out. And, yes, the "tramp stamp" answer didn't help matters. I got Dan Quayle, which surprised me as a TS. Idiot VP from Indiana? Dan Quayle. I marched in front of him at the Indy 500 when I was in Army AIT at Fort Harrison. That, for me, was scarier than going to Iraq. I was worried we'd get run over. I also got Mattel and Hasbro and Fantastic Four. In my need to dislike something about a contestant in almost every episode, what the heck was Peter looking at every time he responded? Is that where the scoreboard is? It reminded me of the late great Mitch Hedberg's bit about a picture in which the whole family is looking off to the side. What the heck are they looking it? One thing I did like was that they started at the tops of the categories, which is always nice for me, I didn't get FJ. There's not shame in my game; I really dislike classical music and honestly didn't even try to guess. I've heard of Fur Elise, but it's just one of those categories I'd bet $0 in, regardless of the game situation.
