Yesterday’s match was great; I hope yours can live up to the Final Jeopardy yesterday. It’s always more exciting to watch when all three go in with a chance to win. Hope you did well! Or at least made the SDMB proud. Did you mention **Cecil** or this place? ---

There`s a Bagdad in Kentucky? Whooda thunk. Congrats, you must update the thread when you get back. Maybe with some behind the scenes stuff. ---

Rooting for you-- unsure whether that works in retrospect, as you probably know already how things went. 😛 Congratulations on making it to the show. Lots of disappointed hopefuls are out there. I’ll be watching tonight with my family, wouldn’t miss this one for anything! ---

I would be terrified. I’m one of those people who freeze up when you ask me a question point-blank, even if I know the answer. Teacher: “Eve, who assassinated Abraham Lincoln?” Eve: “I dunno! I didn’t do it!!” ---

I didn’t do it!!” That’s the wonderful thing about Jeopardy! **Eve** – they supply the answer, all you have to do is come up with the question. 🙂 I hope you had very good luck **Frank**. Any special viewing plans? And as always, any of you Dopers who have ever dreamed of appearing on Jeopardy!, I would advise you to go for it. I mean, a goofball like me was able to blunder his way into 5 Jeopardy! wins. ---

I had to settle for second place. ☹ Of course, the consolation prize was a week at the Wyndham El Conquistador in Fajardo, Puerto Rico. 🆒 Mrs. Moto and I used it as a honeymoon. I encourage all Dopers to try out for Jeopardy. Even total failures get to keep the cool Jeopardy pens. ---

I’d rather go on Wheel of Fortune. I watch Jeopardy! a lot, but I can’t answer questions (question answers? whatever) correctly often enough to **not** embarrass the hell out of myself. I’m super good at WoF though. ---

Oooh, it’s on in a couple of minutes! And on the ONLY tv channel I get! (No cable, no dish, lousy antenna… :mad: ) I promise I won’t laugh at any question-answers you miss. ---
