(I have to do it, and this is my last chance.)
Today's contestants were Jeff Amoros (who unseated Adam Marshall yesterday), Meg Price (from Wales!), and Rachel Winer (once stayed awake for 50 hours for an experiment, and she doesn't even know the results!). I notice sometimes Mr. Trebek is quick to heap praise on the champion, even when he really hasn't proven himself. Mr. Trebek did that again today. I think he was in a little bit of a weird mood. Why would he say that Mammals was a good way to start the round?
In the category about sitcom spouses, I got the "I Love Lucy" triple-stumper. I swept the easy category about the Ten Commandments.
Did you guys think it was weird when Mr. Trebek asked Jeff to specify which "Long" he meant in the clue about Huey Long in the 1930s category? I didn't know there was another one. I was proud of Jeff again, by the way, that he made another true Daily Double in the Jeopardy round. It didn't work out for him this time. I didn't get that one either.
I was pleased that they mentioned my favorite board game, Trivial Pursuit!
Is it just me or did they mention Tibet like three times in this game?
I swept the Con Film Festival category in the Double Jeopardy round.
My Coryat today was 23600Y. The Final was an "instaget" for me, and all the contestants got it right, too. Rachel wins. Her Coryat was 12200Y, Jeff's was 15200Y, and Meg's was 9600Y.

Alex also slipped up when he introduced "Con Film Festival" as the "Coin Film Festival." I was surprised that didn't get edited out.
Glad you pointed out Meg was from Wales...I missed the first bits of the episode, and then the first two contestant interviews, so I spent the whole episode wondering what her accent was. :)
FJ was an instaget for me too. LOTR + country + 2003? Cake.
kt100: Yes, he did! I once heard him pronounce "sewer" (one who sews) as "sewer" (the other kind). He laughed and said, "Don't edit that out!" http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=3270&highlight=sewer
Brandon: It was so easy I was second-guessing myself, like "It couldn't be...It has to be!"
I've never posted here but just had to today. I'm ecstatic -- I had a 23,500 total today, and attempted 40 of the 60 clues, getting 35 right. Today's episode was super easy by Jeopardy standards. I swept the Sitcom category; shame on them for not knowing I Love Lucy and Gilligan's Island.
Welcome! I know the feeling you describe. If I saw the clue about Gilligan's Island I might remember what I guessed. I do know that I "rang in" at the last second and was wrong.
This game featured one of the easiest (for me, anyway) first rounds I can remember. I was 27/30 with no negs, and was about a quarter of a second from getting the Gilligan's Island clue.
And since the LotR movies were brilliant adaptations of one of my favorite book series of all time, FJ! was an instaget.
I don't remember what the clue was where the answer was Huey Long, but apparently there was another Senator Long from Louisiana - Russell Long (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_B._Long).
Are you skipping watching Wimbledon this year too?
Ursula, yes, I've skipped Wimbledon, and it wasn't easy at first. I am going to watch the Final.
You're back from Germany, I guess?
Yeah, we got back late on Tuesday. Blog posts are in the works. :)
Nadal-Murray was pretty good, especially once Murray started his usual self-destruction.
