Meredith says Jenn was one second away from leaving with nothing. However, she would have left with $500 had time run out.

Coincidentally, to record this episode for the transcript, I was taping over the cable broadcast of that very game.

Another *sigh*. All my lifelines remaining heading into the upper tier. Even managed to get through the worrisome "Chick Lit", which could have been about gum.

I'll bet "Are You Scared?" is about some type of phobia.

I don't think I would have remembered, under the pressure of the damned clock, that Harry Winston was the man who donated the Hope Diamond to the Smithsonian, so I'd probably have used the ATA there. No problem with all the others that Jenn burned her lifelines on.

I see possible lifeline usage on chick lit, Civil War battles, and the Supreme Court.

There was no excuse to use a lifeline here. With all of the publicity that Pluto has gotten over the last year, something should've clicked with her.

$8K: This was basically a question about Harry Winston, not necessarily chick lit... so I thankfully did not need to use a lifeline here.

Another dumb use of a lifeline. Dow Jones... Wall Street... I guess that didn't click with her either.

Nihil obstat® stack for me.

"A" was also delivered by a "child" (teenager) in American Pie (though technically, it was an adult actor playing a teen character).

That's right, Meredith, if you're going to use the damned clock, remember its rules!

Furthermore, Jenn was already in the process of saying "C. New York Yankees, final answer" well before the clock got down to one second, and we've already seen one example of the precedent that an answer in motion is acceptable.

Jay tried to make all those electrical jokes and I swear, both Meredith and Jenn thought they were homosexual jokes.


Ohm, like hom and AC/DC like bi-sexual.

The jokes did not work at all.

What a joke does in its own time is none of our business.

I didn't get the impression that the first one was a homosexual joke, but the second one certainly was.

I thought the first one was somewhat funny. I thought the second one was very clever to come up with on the spur of the moment, but didn't quite work as funny. And it certainly was out-of-synch with the show in general.
