I hadn't planned to write a full recap tonight because I'm probably working. Today, as it turns out, is a good day for that for three reasons:
1) Dumb tornado warnings pre-empted two or three clues of the Jeopardy round, and all but two clues of the Double Jeopardy round. Weird as it sounds, a tornado warning even pre-empted the tornado warning. That is, the warning that shuts off your recording interrupted the TV weather guy.
2) The Jeopardy round did not go well for me.
3) I realized at the last minute I hadn't printed out a blank Coryat scoresheet and had to make an imperfect one on a notebook.
I did get to see the Final, though, and was surprised to see after the clue that Danielle Harlow wasn't there! I'll be eager to read your input in the comments as to what happened. I assume she didn't drop dead. ;-)
I know many people raved about "The King's Speech," including my parents who I trust about such things. I didn't see it, though, because I don't like to listen to stuttering. It sorta stresses me out. And I wouldn't have come up with the correct response today based on the other hints in the clue. Sam Fleming missed today's Final and Jay Rhee got it right, so we'll see him tomorrow.

Haha, you came very close to spoiling me on Twitter (I hadn't seen the episode yet when I got your tweets on my phone), but it actually worked out because you made me very curious as to what exactly happened. It turns out Danielle didn't really get any chance to bet today...all the DDs got grabbed up by the other players (I can't remember exactly which one went to which). She just couldn't get going. She did make one very, very foolish mistake at the end of DJ!, though. She had $-400 and control of the board, and she went for...a $400 clue. When Alex had given the LTAM quite a bit before. (It ended up being the last clue in the game.) Sigh...
Usually I rely on your recaps to refresh my memory about the categories, so I don't remember much other than that both rounds went well for me. :)
I was kicking myself for the first 10 seconds or so of FJ because although I haven't seen the movie (not for lack of trying...I will the first chance I get), the name was on the tip of my tongue. I knew it started with an L...and then finally, about halfway through, I got it out. Now, if the clue had been about "The Social Network" (which I absolutely adored and have seen twice)...I probably would have been much quicker. :D
My dad knows that the man in The King's Speech was not so much a classic stutterer. He was more a guy who couldn't get the words out with lots of pauses. Also I'll send you the Jeopardy file in a few days. :D Also have you posted Christine Valada's first game? I haven't seen a weekend repeat for a few months, anyway. And where are the pictures of the contestants? Have you also posted the final game of Kids Week? I heard that Maddie couldn't play in the final. Peter
Hi, Peter. My parents have told me the same thing about "The King's Speech."
I haven't been at my parents' since Christine's episodes have been airing.
On days when I have to work in the evening, I don't include pictures of the contestants because I don't have time for all that before I have to go.
I only posted about Monday's Kids episode. Those episodes aren't my favorite, and I find I don't have much to say about them. Yes, Maddie didn't have money to play in Final Jeopardy in her episode.
Thanks for the comment! I have been wondering about you! :-)
