The show is on at 4:30 here, so I watched it each day at work with my coworkers. It was great to have an appreciative audience to watch with. This was my first time seeing each episode, although I always ended up watching at least one more time at home with Brandon. The IT people put me up on the screens in one of the student lecture halls. Here I am, larger than life, on multiple screens (I think that here I am laughing at one of Alex's "jokes").
In the games I won, I found 7 out of the 9 possible Daily Doubles. In the game I lost, I found none of the 3 DDs.
Here is a recap of the big Final Jeopardy reveal on Thursday's game.
OK, I got the correct response...
How about that wager?
Whoa, my total is more than my yearly salary!
After Friday's game, I became a 2-time champion.
...and then after Monday's game, a 3-time champion.
It all came to an end on Tuesday. (Picture Alex saying, "Oooh, sorry.")
That's all, folks.
The Jeopardy Archive is normally very good at getting games posted quickly, but as of today, they still haven't put up Wednesday's game. Maybe they were too distraught because I wasn't on the show anymore?
If you have a long attention span, you can read my "Winners' Blog" entry on the show's website. I had to write and submit this shortly after my shows were filmed, so I hadn't had a chance to actually watch them. My memory is a little spotty. For example, I wrote that Alex introduced me with, "She may look sweet, but she's tough," when in actually he said the much cooler, "She may look sweet but she's a killer!"
Finally, the below two videos show a whole category (Presidential Math) from Game 1, for your viewing pleasure. Watch me make silly facial expressions as I try really hard to count backwards from 44 to 40 and then multiply by 5! (Trust me, it's harder than it seems.)
