That's a good question, I think they usually just called it the podium. For some reason "ironing board" is popping into my head, but I can't remember is someone here coined that term or if I heard it there.

vettech, I watched both of your shows and cheered, but I just realized I haven't said anything to you yet. Way to go! Congratulations! Whoohoo! You were a superb contestant.

LOL! I was hoping noone would notice that. I forgot I had it when I went on, then it got confiscated during a commercial break. I felt like I was back in grade school. :oops:

You should have brought enough for everyone.....

Sorry about the delayed congrats. I just figured that it would be in keeping with the other delays... :mrgreen:

And thanks for the narrative! I always find the stories behind the show to be one of the best parts of the whole watch! Not quite as exciting as seeing somebody win 250 big ones, of course...but close. Pretty darn close, I tell ya what.

Again, congrats!!
