Watched the last 15 minutes last night for the first time in ages. I got one triple miss and several other answers right, including final Jeopardy, which only the champion got. I felt pretty good about that!

You are so good at it that you scared everybody else off!


I have had two problems: 1) I have been really busy with other stuff, so haven't been able to watch but maybe one or two episodes a week, and 2) ended up somehow getting logged out of DBR and until today have been wholly unsuccessful at logging back in.

Happy to report, however, two things: 1) that I was obviously finally able to get back onto DBR, and 2) that although I haven't watched many episodes, in each and every one of them there was at least one triple stumper that I was able to get. And in several, I was able to get big payouts in missed Daily Doubles or Final Jeopardy questions.

So, I guess I am still kind of playing along, just not as frequently, and I have been unable to post any results.


I'm glad to be back on DBR. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that nobody noticed I was gone, given that I'm a tiny cog in a very large machine. I had a lot of thoughts about the end of the Virginia game, and, although it took several days, other posters eventually covered all of them.

[rsvman]

I made $8200 on Friday's game, thanks mostly to a fairly easy missed Daily Double in the second round.

That was probably the second most money I have earned since we started doing this.

Now lf I could only figure out a way to get the producers to pay me all the money they owe me, lol.

I kind of stopped playing.

But I am still getting a lot of triple stumpers. I was really proud of myself when I got the Final, which turned out to be a triple stumper. I’m not good at British History at ALL, and it was a question about an invasion of England by a guy with 14K troops who was trying to restore “their religion.”

Out of the recesses of my mind I came up William of Orange. Nobody else did. But I was right!
