Actually Ken studied up on alcoholic drinks for J!. He probably doesn't know much about gambling even though that's not prohibited for Mormons.

I've noticed that they haven't been providing occupations at the beginning of the contestant's run lately.

It would have been funny if one of the questions was about women's soccer.

Brie came very close to missing out on this one. I think her PAF may have been using the Internet; I thought I heard keyboard sounds.

Good thing. The senior Bushes are Episcopalians, I believe, but George joined the Methodists because Laura was a Methodist, IIRC.
