I thought that was a great game. All three players knew their stuff and while they had a few stumbles, no one was giving bad answers the whole time. Even in third for most of the game, Cedric got so many right. I think he just couldn't master the buzzer.

Heather Whosit didn't bother me at all. Cynthia made me nervous with her nervousness. Funny, I thought she'd be the hands-down winner, and she did really well but it was clearly not a runaway game. I like it when the so-called celebrities play with focus. They can be goofy at the conversation breaks, or when they make bone-head errors, but I want them to want to win $$$ for their charity! So this was a good game!

Seriously, I didn’t even recognize Heather after I’d IMDb’d her, but she didn’t bug me at all. Seemed like a pretty good sport about the doctor game thing. Really, there were groups earlier in the season (or maybe last season?) that were really over the top annoying. Lately I’ve been impressed with the balance between fun and actually playing the game.

I feel like last season was a lot worse. I think this season has been a pretty good balance between playing the game and "performing." A few people have had their moments but I can't think of anyone who's bugged me for the whole game, which was not the case last year. I wonder if they asked them to rein it in a bit this time.

I don't know who Heather is either but I think Cynthia's nerves caught up to her in the end. Me and my daughter both said "Pentagon" immediately after the clue was revealed and I am sure Cynthia is kicking herself because she missed it.

Here is my thing, if she had taken advantage of the Double Jeopardy categories instead of wagering conservatively, she could have run away with this game. Wil Wheaton is the only celebrity I have seen really take advantage of these and it was great and won him his game. You are still walking away with at least $30,000 no matter where you place, take some chances.

I loved all the contestants reaction to the Triple Jeopardy and Final Jeopardy categories. They obviously were there to win but not at the expense of having fun. And I love that they kept giving Heather a hard time about the Doctor Game and Ken's response that that is not the same game as Operation lol.

I'm pretty sure there were some other Celebs who wagered everything this season, but I can't recall who, so maybe not?

Maybe one of us can look it up here and report back:
