Today's result is up on the Jeopardy! board.
Spoiler for March 23 show.
Congratulations again! I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

Cyberial cigar uno for Megan on winning her second game. Well done my dear(lights Megan's portofino). Someone on the SOny J! board mentioned Megan's new total of $70,002 is the same total that Jerry Harvey(who is believed by some to be the oldest ever J! champion, in his 80s at the time, though most think him to be younger than that) had after two days before losing to a certain 74 time winner on 6/2/2004.

Sounds like he didn't watch me either. Or KT. Or 'Skoop. Or Catfish. Or Spiff. --Bob

Very impressive performance and impressive two day total. Any win tomorrow should put you in the TOC and a rematch with your buddy Tom.

People here don't watch Jeopardy??? I'm like a bear if I miss it and my DVR went for a shit today and didn't record J. Thankfully, I noticed it in time to get the feed from B.C. for Double J. Great job again Megan!!!!

Not even close. She needs two more wins at minimum.

I'm not so sure. A third win probably puts her at the top of the 3x winners. That might be enough to make it. --Bob

My crown
I didn't want to post this picture until today because some people might have guessed I won the second day from it.

Image

My friend Rose who stayed with me in L.A. made me a crown out of a brochure in the hotel room. Yesterday was the last game of the day, so I got to to go to bed as the reigning Jeopardy champ. I had dinner with Tom and the other three contestants from the last two games. Since I beat them all, I considered it only fair to pick up the check, and they all agreed.

Congratulations, Megan, on another victory. I confess I was worried for a while - your opponents were tough, but you pulled it out. Did it bother you that Janet seemed to be so slow on picking categories and dollar values? It did me.

Regrettably the station that airs J! in our city is a CBS affiliate and is running "Road to the Final Four" shows before the games start, so I won't be able to see your game tonight (or tomorrow night :mrgreen: ). I'm hoping they'll show up on youtube.

I didn't notice Janet being slow. It did bother me that she found all three Daily Doubles and we had a medical category! I still can't figure out how I was ahead of her at the end.

This person's youtube account has all the WoF and J! shows from this season. He usually has them up by the next morning.http://www.youtube.com/user/rashad1428

The only reason I knew Jim Cramer was the host of "Mad Money" was because he was the expert for clem21 on my first day in the green room for WWTBAM. If I hadn't got that clue I wouldn't have won the game.

Thanks for the link.

I shall watch.

I tuned in just before the final Jeopardy answers on Monday. I had not remembered you were on. It was very exciting when I saw you.

Woo Hoo for you!

Okay, you so totally rock!!! You had me skeered for a bit there, woman!

I was laughing over the Arabian Nights stuff--you never let out a hint when I told you Erin was watching Aladdin 6000 times! And before Janet even placed her DD wager I was calling out Scheherezade, because what else could the question be?

Keep rockin!!!
