I was most surprised that he lost to a GIRL! (Just kidding)
I heard on WNCI on Monday that he was going to lose on Tuesday. They even played the audio of him losing.
The funny thing was that I knew the answer to the question and Mr. Jennings did not. Since the show isn't live, I couldn't let him know telepathically what the answer was. No matter.
I should try to get on Jeopardy! I need a few mil.
My luck I would have a horrible day and not even get to compete for Final Jeopardy because I would be negative after Double Jeopardy.
Oh, well. I will just continue to play from the comfort of my own home.
