Did poorly in Double Jeopardy...only got a couple right.Arrggghhh!
1789 ????
I found this post while Jeopardy was half-way through. Proud of you!
Another example...1789 was a guess.
You didn't look nervous at all.Well done!
Fun isn’t it ... I was on in 2004
Congratulations for getting on the show. Your dream story about Alex Trebek was a little creepy.
I have been an avid Jeopardy fan since the original Art Fleming version. I take the online test every year but they have never called me. My best categories are sports, history, aviation, and geography. I hate the opera, french, and art categories.
I was yelling “What is 1789?” in Final Jeopardy. Thought that was obvious since George Washington’s first election was a foregone conclusion.
My daughter tried out for the kids tournament in 2008 when she was in the 5th grade. It was at “The Plaza of the Americas” in downtown Dallas. 300 kids nationwide were selected to tryout. My daughter was not picked for the next round of tryouts but it was a good experience for her. She won the Garland ISD spelling bee that year in the 5th grade and competed at the Dallas County Spelling Bee at UTD the same week as the Jeopardy tryout. Missed the first word at the county bee. I still tease her about it.

I've always said that Freepers are among the SMARTEST!
Go Joyce! You rock!
George: What is Tungsten or Wolfram?
Alex Trebek: We were looking for ‘What is Tungsten, or Wolfram’.
Jerry: Is this a repeat?
George: No, no, no. Just lately, I’ve been thinking a lot clearer. Like this afternoon, (To television) what is chicken Kiev, (Back to Jerry) I really enjoyed watching a documentary with Louise.
It came on at 4:30 Central time here.
for some reason, the only one I remember is the Japanese looking girl and the only reason is that she looked very nervous.
I thought the final question was fairly difficult. I was pretty sure it was George Washington and the year 1789 stuck in my mind but I was so unsure that I might have said something else.
I just watched the show out here on the left coast.
Soonest I get it after this evening is tomorrow afternoon.
Anyways, congrats!
Way to go!! Congratulations on your winnings!!!
For what it’s worth, you came across as a very easy-going and pleasant person (no surprise for a FReeper!). I’m sorry it won’t be you we see returning tomorrow, but I’m so glad that I spotted this thread and got to watch the episode knowing the full scoop! I would have deleted it after viewing in a few days and been none the wiser. This was a great treat!
Well done on the show! I was rooting for your success and that the little woman to your left didn't have a complete anxiety attack.
