end of show noise

Kelly will return for tomorrow’s show.

Thanks to Monday's transcriber, as for the second time in a week my cable screen froze and I recorded 30 minutes of a frozen screen of 4:30 AM news. I hope this does not happen to me on a Tuesday (my day to transcribe).

The bad start hints at a fairly quick walk. Then again she got levels 10, 8, and 9 to start, and a brutal ATA, so everything from here on should be easier. Then again she has at least 12.5K to walk with, more than either of the other players, so it might be a quick walk after all.

There seems to be a preponderance of southern Californians...is this the new WE?

I swear I knew nothing about this episode before I mentioned contestants with "nothing to lose" in Gretchen Neidhardt's transcript thread, yesterday afternoon.

I'd have gone straight to JTQ figuring that New York audiences weren't up on their roller derby.

Once again a contestant is faced with the chance to win $1K without answering a single question correctly. Fortunately for her she got the right answer and the big bucks.

I would have crashed and burned on the roller derby question, going for blocker. I thought whip was a position, remembering the Ellen Page movie "Whip It" which came out a couple years back.
