Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

2

WOW THAT KICKS ASS! CONGRATS!

3

Congrats! I hope you kicked his ass on the politics questions, too.

4

Coincidentally, I just watched this show last night for the first time in a long while. If you find out an exact (or close to it) air date, let us know (otherwhise I’ll forget to watch).

5

Awesome!

Make sure you remind us when its going to air.

6

just so i’m clear on this… you won ALL the money [winning the best of 10 test of knowledge], or made it to the final round and walked away with a hefty sum of money… not that i’m doubting your smarts or anything :slight_smile:

djb[sup]2[/sup]2,

So dish already! Who were your co-contenstants, what was it like? Gotta give us more clues so we can spot you next season!

8

I like the cut of your jib, djbdjb2!

9

Congrats! Did you choose to go first or second in the final round?

By the way, on the topic of game shows, I believe I am one of only 2 people in the world (my oldest brother being the other) who have had both a parent and a sibling be contestants on Jeopardy. Alas, I haven’t been on…yet.

10

Good for you. Where is EJsGirl? She almost did it.

11

I wouldn’t think he’d be allowed to even say the outcome of the game. Most game shows don’t let you do that.

12

Yay hooray! Congrats! I hope you gave em what for!

Rats. Now I have to wait till April.

13

I do mean that I won the $5000 in the final round.

I did choose to go second. The contestant coordinators pointed out to us the benefits to going second, and 2 of the 3 finalist on my tape day did go second.

I was on Jeopardy! last year, but unlike there WBSM did not ask us to keep the results secret until the air date. Maybe they are more realistic than Jeopardy. Thus I will post the questions from the final round.
