Look what Bill MacDonald told me about:
This is the same speech I referred to before where Mr. Trebek dropped all kinds of cuss words. You can see me posing with Brad Rutter at 1:11.
I know passing the Sports Jeopardy test is wayyyyyy more important than the clothes, but I thought about it a little more today since I was at the mall. Keeping in mind that people auditioning are supposed to dress casually, I think I had a good idea: a romper? (Sorry, apparently I can’t copy and paste the picture.) Does anyone know where else sells rompers, where I could also try them on?
I’ve started making flashcards:
The more I write though, the more I wonder how I’ll remember all this anyway! And even though I came across something tonight that came up in tonight’s show, what I studied didn’t help me come up with a correct response.
Here are the remaining contestants for the week:
Michele Consoli – Clifton, NJ (WABC)
Sunil Hari – West Chester, OH (WXIX)
Alana Norton – Woodbury, MN (KARE)

My sweet little sister watched the show with me tonight! What a champ. She even hung around while I blogged!
Here’s the clue I was talking about above, in Colorful Sports: “Sun Life Stadium in Florida is home to the Miami Dolphins & this college bowl game.” I guess we forgot the category!
At the first break:
Alison 3200 (8 right)
Chris 800 (One right)
Jennifer 4200 (5 right)
Can one really say “the biggest wig”? I don’t think so.
My sister and I both guessed right on this, having smelled the stuff ourselves (in Will You Still Feed Me?): “‘Why don’t you dance with me? I’m not no’ this cheese described as ‘devastatingly odorous.'”
Alison found the Daily Double of the round. It was the second-to-last clue. The category is Econ 101.
Alison 5800 (4 right)
Chris 3400 (6 right and one wrong)
Jennifer 4800 (2 right)
Alison wagered just 500 on this clue: “In 1778, after detailing the ‘invisible hand’ guiding commerce, he became a commissioner of customs.” We both knew it. The last clue of the round was a triple-stumper.
Alison found the first Daily Double of Double Jeopardy too, in Victor/Victoria.
Alison 11100 (6 right and one wrong)
Chris 4200 (3 right and one wrong)
Jennifer 10400 (5 right)
Alison wagered 2000 on this tough clue: “Queen Victoria succeeded this king, her uncle, on the throne in 1837.” She and I didn’t know it this time!
And Chris found the last Daily Double, in Classical Music. This happens to be my worst category in Learned League.
Alison 12700 (4 right)
Chris 7800 (2 right)
Jennifer 15200 (4 right)
I had a feeling Chris would wager big here, because I believe he selected this category at the end of the Jeopardy round. He wagered 7000 on this clue: “This Gustav Holst suite; ‘An HD odyssey’ is a multimedia work with images from space probes.” I knew this one because I saw it on my Sirius XM screen back when I was trying to study for my original appearance on the show. Chris knew it too.
The Final Jeopardy category was 2004. This was the clue: “Watching the Super Bowl halftime show, the head of this govt. agency kept saying, ‘My day is going to’ be lousy ‘tomorrow.'” This was an instaget for me, and all three contestants got it right too. Alison wagered only 2200. Chris wagered 12000, and Jennifer wagered 14401, meaning she’ll be playing tomorrow.
My Coryat today was 29200 (30200 without negs).
