This week on Jeopardy!

#1 Post by Bob78164 » Mon Dec 10, 2018 4:14 pm

On Friday, uly's friend Jackie Fox makes her appearance as a challenger on Jeopardy!. (I don't remember whether she ever registered here.) Tune in to learn whether she gets to return next week as the defending champion. --Bob

Dammit, lb! I just went back through some of JF's posts to see what the hell you were referring to. I came back to this one and read "I do" with the inflection you heard and had to dope-slap myself for not getting it right away!

Retroactive good luck today to BassPlayingSugarplum. Hoping we get to see her next week as well. --Bob

Congratulations to BassPlayingSugarplum, on earning the right to the ReigningJeopardyChamp handle. May you enjoy it for as long as I did (or at least for an extended run). —Bob

Thanks, everyone!

It was quite an experience. I'll post some of my thoughts over on my Facebook page later tonight - I'm @jfuchs1976 over there (though I think I come up as Jackie Fox).

Anyway, I feel somewhat redeemed after my WWTBAM flameout.

Good job, both days!

If that player in the middle had won, I would have killed myself. Or her. That throttling of the clicker drove me crazy.

Will Jackie achieve score number four today? And if so, how will she do on her drive for five? Will she experience the joy of six? Tune in and see, on Jeopardy!. --Bob

Here's Jackie talking about something that happened (off camera) on tonight's episode.



Will she succeed on her drive for five? You know the drill. --Bob

Thank you, Bob, for posting updates on my performance (or in the case of my last day, non-performance). It was a HUGE amount of fun and I made some great friends. Hope everyone here has a great holiday season and 2019!
