Blogging Jeopardy

I leave town for a couple of days and what happens?? I fall behind on my Jeopardy! viewing. And so, the Jeopardy! marathon! Would Geoff Moore repeat or be just another flash in the pan? Day 2 of the GM run, Moore was quite impressive--winning $37,200. Ah . . . that Baylor education is truly money in the bank. And the marathon continues.

Day 3 begins. Geoff got beaten to the buzzer on the first clue, notwithstanding that the category was "Movie Title Adjectives." The first clue was "________ Saddles." Barb rang in lightning fast with a perky, "What is Blazing?" Geoff got off to a bit of a slow start, but as has been the case the first two days, he was strong through both rounds. The low point of the show was when Alex got all three players to agree that of course the music group ABBA would want him to join the band based on his reading of the ABBA lyrics. Come on Geoff! There's no sucking up at Baylor!

Either way, Geoff went into Final Jeopardy ahead. Did he emerge victorious?? Aa-a-a-g-g-h-h-h! Only the first player got the right answer. The second place guy missed the clue, but made a very small bet. Geoff missed it too, but went big. So, alas, some guy who had a propensity to jump up and down, won.

It was a good run.
