Sorry if some of you have noticed this a couple times on my FB, but my noxer friend Stephanie from Asheboro will be on Jeopardy! this evening. I am super excited for her. I've been a Jeopardy! watcher for years. Even if I wasn't, it is rather awesome. Two of my letterboxes were based off an episode of the game show. I did take her letterboxing in the Durham area. Sadly, she falls into the noxer catergory.

SPOILER ALERT:
If you have this recorded for watching later stop reading!

I watched first round and caught pieces of the second round last night, but it was a run away with the defending champion cleaning up. Impressed that both got Final Jeopardy correct. I don't remember the names but a women came in second with the third contestant not making it to final jeopardy. Was Stephanie the second place finisher?

I felt bad for the man that finished in the red.
He made small errors that cost him.

Yes, she was. She was second guessing herself on a few and knew the MacArthur in T2 style quote was wrong as she said it. I told her that it broke the tension in the room. I saw her trying to ring in on some, but it did not happen. She knew the Into the Woods one, but the champion got in first.

Yes. Whenever someone from Michigan or North Carolina appears, I am excited for them.

The funniest game show, if it could be called that, is Whose Line Is It Anyway.

No. With this subject line your response MUST be in the form of a question. ;-)

my noxer friend Stephanie from Asheboro will be on Jeopardy! this evening

I just saw your post but I think I saw a little bit of her episode. Regardless of how she finished, she should be proud to have been on the show.

Today, Jan 28 marks 7 years since my husband was on Jeopardy! He came in second place. Sometimes I wish they would bring back the days where you got to take home the money you "won", regardless on what place you came in. He had quite a bit, though it was not enough to beat the Champ. Don't get me wrong, $2000 is nothing to sneeze at. But I will say he made good TV and he as been asked a couple of times to come back, but it has never worked with our schedule.

I had not thought about planting a letterbox in honor of his episode. I'll have to put that on my planning list. Maybe I can do a series and tie it in with the "I Lost on Jeopardy!" song by Weird Al Yankovic. My hubby always feels he lost, regardless of his actual placement on the show.

Congrats to your friend!

The episode of Jeopardy! my plants were based on was the answer to Final Jeopardy from a January 2010 episode of the show. Wouldn't it be something if it was the episode your husband was on? Although, I think it was earlier in January. Much belated congrats to him! No, $2,000 is an awesome achievement for both your husband and for Stephanie. Just getting on the show is exciting! She was rather happy to win $2,000, and she also thought Loren, the guy who won, was nice. Since he is a basketball fan and she graduated from UNC, he had questions for her.

That would be funny if you used his Final Jeopardy! question for one of your plants. If I remember correctly, his was on Impressionist artists. They were shown a painting and asked for the artist. The answer was Cezanne, he put Monet (I think). We have never been able to look at a bowl of fruit the same way ;-)

Congrats again to your friend.

The category was related to art, but it was a different question. It was from the January 5, 2010 episode of Jeopardy according to the J! Archive. http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=3269
