*barfs into a men's room stall*

Best news of the day!

I went with plums, and my husband went with apricots. My reasoning was that Jeopardy! wouldn't go too far afield with their Latin, but…I was obviously wrong.

I am REALLY looking forward to the episodes filmed after Chu's aired. I expect that a LOT of contestants are going to try his strategy. There are going to be holdouts for "traditional" Jeopardy!-play, people who have been dreaming about playing the game for decades and already have the patterns set in their head. But…

I was introduced to The Thin Man references by way of Mathnet, when George Frankly and Pat Tuesday went undercover as Nick and Nora Chuck.

Jen not betting enough to cover Gordon's double-up was very, very short-sighted. I'll confess that I'm glad she didn't win, though. She had the on-screen charisma of a wet paper bag. (I wonder what the Arthur-haters thought about her. I never found him to be mechanical or stiff, but she was pretty dull.)

Yogurt.

I agree. I like Wes Anderson's movies, but it's not a stunning revelation that he likes to focus attention to the center. Now, if you were to find a director that always has something interesting happening at the golden ratio, that MIGHT be something to look into.

That's exactly my reason for wanting WOT, too. There was some TERRIBLE wagering in Final Jeopardy, and I want to talk about that!

…and, of course, her father IS having an affair. At least, it would look that way from Paige's perspective if she ever found out about Martha.

I'm glad they gave Paige a line about what her suspicions actually are (or at least were). I wondered what she suspected was happening, since I don't think her mind would immediately leap to, "my parents are undercover KGB agents." But thinking her mother was having an affair—yeah, that's totally plausible, given what…

That having been said, my husband (born in the '70s) was taken out of the moment by the pop machine (okay, he said soda machine, but it's a pop machine). Yes, it's nice and '80s with the Tab logo, but the machine itself shouldn't have been able to accept dollar bills. He claims that a period machine would have had the…

YES! This bothered me, too. I remember a whole category a few years ago built around getting the plurals right (like saying "Revelation" instead of "Revelations"), so I was surprised they didn't ding him.

I had to be corrected on "gesture" when I was about 10 (I used to pronounce it with a hard G). But that has nothing on a friend of mine who used to say "photoGRAPHy" well into adulthood.

We've been going with, "You FOOL!" like that one episode of Hollywood Squares. (Someone on here probably knows what I'm referring to.)

This game showed the one downside to Arthur's strategy—he got a Daily Double in a category he hadn't parsed yet. I think the only reason he missed The Sound and the Fury was because he thought that "pairs" referred to people.

Remember, the Mormons were the only ones in the South Park universe who got Heaven right.

Threadjack: Sometime in the 1990s, my aunt (whom I was named after) was in a National Geographic special about little animals called fishers. Hooray, women in science!

Beautiful. As always, I love your attention to detail, down to the way the computer would respond to such a request.

B for the show; A- compared to other shows. This is the only show I watch as it's broadcast anymore.
