    You’re welcome.

    Shakespearean, oops, dropped an a!

    Now that Austin won today, I’ll be able to see him play tomorrow, after I leave school early.

    Austin seems to become more conservative, thank goodness. In the past he made a few wagers that made my hair stand on end….I hope he will not get TOO confident and TOO reckless in his wagers, then he could be around for a long time. In any case: the guy is incredible!!!

  5. Jim G. | October 5, 2017 at 3:03 pm |

    Did anyone else catch him on GMA this morning?

    • Frank Smith | October 5, 2017 at 3:19 pm |

      I just found out he was ON, because YOU told me.

    • freddie leonard | October 5, 2017 at 4:28 pm |

      When I saw him GMA this morning, I thought it might have been a spoiler.

      • Jim G. | October 5, 2017 at 4:33 pm |

        I’m pretty sure contestants are contractually prohibited from revealing the outcome of any game before it has aired, so there was no danger of that.

        • Andy Saunders | October 5, 2017 at 5:01 pm |

          Freddie has a point: often you’ll see big champs do that media cycle just before they lose. Buzzy Cohen was an example of that.

          • Jim G. | October 5, 2017 at 5:08 pm |

            Maybe Austin is an example of something else…maybe he’s not finished taping his shows and they’re putting him out there to drum up more ratings…maybe he’s on his way to breaking Ken Jenning’s record…who knows? I certainly didn’t mean to spoil anything for anyone.

          • freddie leonard | October 5, 2017 at 7:20 pm |

            I remember when Julia Collins was on GMA. She lost on the episode that aired that night.

  6. E | October 8, 2017 at 2:41 am |

    In Books’ First Lines, wasn’t there an opening line about someone looking down at their watch while biking and seeing it was 8:30 in the morning? I vividly remember seeing that question but can’t remember for the life of me what book it was.

  7. karen parker | October 8, 2017 at 2:57 am |

    how come Austin Rogers was not on thursday or fridays show? how or when did he lose to get off game?

    • Andy Saunders | October 8, 2017 at 10:21 am |

      As the post you’re commenting on shows, he was on.

      It’s possible you’re in an area where “Daytime Jeopardy” is shown (the rerun from a year ago) and your PVR taped the wrong episode.
