Donna's inability to answer in the form of a question, and to add the customary Jeopardy "What is…" to her Spanish translation answers bugged the hell out of me. So if she answers "what is your name?" to "¿cómo te llamas?", how can they know that she meant the correct answer was "what is your name?" and not just…

Yep.

I'm glad Rachel won. I like laid back contestants. Vivek was a fine competitor, but the groaning and the DRAMA when he heard the right answer after giving a wrong one was a little too much for me.

If Alex hadn't done the Eeyore voice, it's possible that someone might have come up with something else. With the voice, answering anything other than Eeyore would have been like answering "France" to "this country was in both the Warsaw Pact and NATO, and was alphabetically first in both of them".

When I saw that question on the show, I was thinking "nobody knows or cares, but hey, 🌟✨Hamilton!!!💫⭐️"

No. There is no explanation, and no possible reaction other than FRANCE ???
FRANCE ?????????!!!!!!!!!!!?????????

Edelweiss, Haben Sie Gehoert das Deutscheband… It's all German to me!

So - we are doing phrasing again?

I keep surprising myself in geography categories thanks to all the stuff I have picked up playing the quizzes on Sporcle. Also, on unrelated knowledge
I picked up elsewhere, Yoey botched the pronunciation of Canberra. The stress is on the Can, not the be.

I'm not glad she lost, since at least she made a gutsy move with that DD, but I will say in my best mom voice that I was very, very disappointed that she couldn't think of The Producers, which means she's probably never even seen it. Which is tragic.

The Theisman Throphy? I know nothing about football, so if it's an actual, real one, that's really going to spoil my joke.

I remember some guy broke his leg, but not his name!

Did he? To me it seemed like he was desperately reaching for as many words he could use to say "yes, that seems like a good idea", without saying anything else. It reminded me of when in school tests I had to write two or three paragraphs about a subject that I knew one sentence's worth, so I used lots of unnecessary…

I couldn't understand today why Katie kept going back to that literary life and death category, even after she looked horrified to get the DD and bet only $500 - and lost it. Why? Because she hated the other categories even more?

What? No objection to them accepting Doug's answer "What is the Norman conquest?" to a clue that was asking for an architectural style? I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, but I rewound the show to make sure I had heard right. The clue said (approximately) "After a certain conquest, this style became very similar…

OH, GREAT! YOU GOT EVERYONE YELLING NOW!

You read "suicidal" in that quote? All I read was "blind", so Keller seemed like the most likely answer to me, too.

I hate to break it to you, but John Lithgow was FDR too: http://www.imdb.com/title/t…

Well, it was only yesterday (literally) that I was schoolin' you teenie boppers on the Jeopardy Seniors Tournaments of the 80's and 90's. Ooh, I remember those decades, with their A-Teams and their Matlocks and their mustachioed Trebeks!

It's a heck of a lot better than "Gettysburg"!
