Transcript 11/05/09 - Jennifer Colgan

I agree about that essentially being the question, but I am not sure that Jennifer nor Joel new that Hattiesburg was the city in question. If you don't know of Hattiesburg it could be Hattie(s)town, Hattie(s)ville or something like that.

Sure, that was part of the question as they phrased it. Either you've heard of Hattiesburg (in which case, I presume the name would click when you're thinking about Hatties...something) or you haven't. Is there any Hattiestown/ville/opolis that we should have heard of, elsewhere?

Cape Hatteras, NC.

The question didn't say that Captain Hardy was honoring that particular part of his wife's anatomy!

Ooohh. Nasty and could be an ugly distractor if you don't know Hattiesburg. But here's where Joel's logic about 1884 being too late for pioneering. I'm guessing a coastal town like Cape Hatteras was settled well before 1884.

Her cape is not part of her anatomy.

Of course, Joel's "go west" logic failed, too. Mississippi is just as far west as Tennessee.

All of it is further west than more than half of Tennessee.

Does Joel's performance put him in Schmoopieville? I think he was almost as unhelpful as Ali Wentworth. I haven't look back at his results but off the top of my head I think he did pretty poorly. I think his answer about today's (11/6)

Spoiler

black swan

question is common knowledge.
Not seeing too much criticism of him, but maybe it is too early. Plus he looked like he took the time to comb his hair.

[Appa23]

Clearly, Joel Stein is another pencil-necked geek who doesn't follow sports. <g>

Hattiesburg is the home of the Southern Miss Golden Eagles, which once boasted a rocket-armed QB by the name of Brett Favre.

Most of us haven't seen today's show, yet. As for Hattiesburg, he failed on a "you know it or you don't" question and the "pioneer" wording of the question contributed somewhat to that. But he hasn't come close to a Shmoopie performance, yet. IMHO.

I'm sorry that Deborah Norville wasn't available for the whole week/taping day. It would have been interesting to see how she'd do with more questions.

Joel Stein did well back in March-April. 6 for 6!

Joel Stein did well back in March-April. 6 for 6!

Guess I'm just going off this particular stint. He may have just been having a bad day but I seem to recall him not knowing and often leading the contestant the wrong way.

$25,000 * Ideologies
Heavily promoted by the state, the concept of "juche" -- loosely translated as "self-reliance" -- is the official national ideology of what country?

A: Saudi Arabia B: Russia
C: Israel D: North Korea

Jennifer says this would have to be a total guess. She walks away with $15,000.

Answer

D: North Korea ( 6 )

I knew this of course.

Of course, so why did you even need to mention it?

Uh, because it's funny? I was puzzled by his post at first, but when I considered it for a second, I got a chuckle out of it.

Okay. Fair enough.

Not that I know of offhand, but after a quick google search...Hattiesville, MS, Hattieville, AR and Hattieville, Belize but I'm not sure what state that is in .

I wonder if Hattieville, Belize, is where SSS gets his virility enhancers.

Do they sell jimmy hats as well?
