Spiny, you were correct to suspect I may have gone through the Jeopardy process...

I will be on the episode on Tuesday March 7th!  We taped back in the last few days of November but I've held back on announcing anything until a couple weeks of the airdate.  I was actually in the contestant pool for this week's episodes too, but did not get called up until the next day (which in terms of episodes is the next week, since they tape 5 a day).

- I tried to post my picture with Alex but apparently it's too large!

You beat the odds just to get on the show!  Fantastic! Sorry I did not know when you taped. I live two blocks from the studio and love a good reason to go watch a few episodes.  Retrospective good luck!

The CEB has turned into a shouting match with Remotey trying to be the Joe West of the board. I look at it for laughs. Welcome Q, who along with Bobbbbbbbb are auxiliaries of the Dome.

Randomly, just had dinner with one of my fiancee's college friends who taped today. Some tidbits- Trebek's first job was as a bellhop in 8th grade, and his wife is 24 years his junior, and apparently very pretty.

French Rage, I'll be rooting for you, if I can figure out which contestant you are.  (You will not be the returning champion, and if you do have a Stanford MS from '06, you should be around 34 years old or so).  March 7 it will be.

And I will try to avoid doing something that drives my family bonkers.  If a contestant gives the wrong question after Alex has read the clue, and I have the correct question down cold, I usually scream at the TV, "NO!!!!!!  It's 'What is ___________!!!'"

Congrats to French Rage for his victory tonight! He was the only one to get the Final Jeopardy question correct, but he won in a runaway, so it didn't really matter. :) Was 1983 the year you were born?

After just a few minutes into the first round, I knew French Rage would win.  Not because he was on a run,  but because he posted the date he'd be on and that he was the one on the right.  No one would advertise his participation if he had been shamed on Jeopardy.  ;D

I was a biology major and am a physician, so I don't know very much European history.  But when they wanted a significant date in French history, I guessed the correct question as well. 

Congrats to FR!  The DVR is set for tomorrow!

Yup!  I guess I did leave a couple hundred on the table, but I figured it would be fun to do that.  (Plus that assumes I would get FJ right.) (Though I did feel confident with that category.)  It's funny how few of those questions I remember until he asked and then I thought "wait I think I got this one".  There were even a few I was surprised I got (and I don't think I would get if asked today).

On that one, I jumbled my African countries and thought it was on the coast, but I figured Indian Ocean was too easy, so I thought Arabian Sea was possibly the answer.  So I was off on that from the start.  Still surprised I got Gulf of Guinea, though, I definitely wouldn't have gotten that today.

You'll never forget "The Gulf of Guinea."  Trust me.  I had a similar moment in a somewhat similiar TV show in the UK over 20 years ago, and I'll never forget "Velazquez."

Well done, FR (I managed serinpidiitously to channel surf onto the final jeopardy round).
