Did Julia Collins make the semi finals as a wild card? Her $9100 score the other night made that look kind of precarious. I was so looking forward to a final with her and Arthur Chu in it.

The Bored coming back online isn't a completely good thing.

Her very first J! win came at my expense when she ended my (very brief - one game) reign as J! Champion.
I came in second in that game by about 800 bucks.
Oh well!

And think of how you would have changed history if you had won that game!!

I'm so proud of your success in the College Tournament and ToC. Sorry you ran into the Julia juggernaut. By coincidence, Ken Jennings was on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" today, and this question stumped him: "Because it DOESN'T officially recognize Greek life, what school's 'eating clubs' serve as a substitute for fraternities & sororities?" The audience and Ken's studio guest didn't know it either, so Ken had to jump the question. I was a "Millionaire" contestant a year ago, and I would have loved that question. Another coincidence: the contestant after Ken was named Terry, and the host of the show is Terry too. You should audition for "Millionaire" next year.
All the best, jarnon '75

Millionaire's definitely on the radar, but maybe I'll try for it in a few years when I've had more time to study. Anyway, thanks for reaching out to me. It's always nice hearing from alumni.
Best,
Terry O'Shea '16

I'll be tuning in to see what happens the next two nights-I wonder what would happen if there was a tie.

When he's not watching Jeopardy!, Zach likes to hang out at the Y to watch people swim.

So after the first Final round are you still feeling sorry for Ben?

I didn't even understand the Final J! clue, never mind come up with the correct response.

I didn't get FJ right either, and US history is one of my strong suits. I guessed 1960 thinking about JFK, LBJ, and Nixon
who all wound up being President. Turns out I was 40 years too late. I didn't realize FDR ran in 1920.

1960 doesn't fit the clue because Nixon was Vice President at the time. --Bob
