United Airlines has a destination guide with an interactive map https://www.united.com/ual/en/us/fly/travel/restrictions-map.html This shows no restrictions for most states, including California. So what type of rule does California have that is restricting out-of-staters from competing on Jeopardy...

From this lousy season I had, I'm OK, with my TCA, but the bright side is a BWA nominee...but possibly two nominations for BWA.

I can only say possibly two as I'm not sure I actually submitted the attempt on one of the nominated BWAs, so it's possible that nomination belongs to someone else.

Jeers to the contestants for running away from Westward Ho.
Fell for India in FJ

Another opportunity in my life that I will never have:

"I'll take 'Ho' for a thousand dollars"...

Don’t worry, “around the world” is sure to make another appearance.

The Super Bowl

It is the only city with two different stadiums to have hosted five or more Super Bowls.

Rumors flying Tom Hardy will be the next James Bond.

Unlike previous rumors in recent years, this one seems more likely to happen.

Playing off a couple of Reddit posts I saw yesterday: This regular guy, with no help from Sony, has the game archived and it took less than a couple of days: http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=6825 Doing the game reminded me of another clue that may not have gone TS with the right region...

They didn’t seem to use anyone’s questionnaire last year.

I wouldn’t take them using it or not using it as anything.

There’s always the possibility something caught their attention and that’s what they’re going with.

Part 1 was the 50-question test, which I described on page 7. That was a one-on-one Zoom call; responses were spoken aloud. I've done this step more recently (August), and it was different -- it was essentially the same as the initial online contestant test, but with about 8-10 potential contestant...

I had no idea Boone died that early.

I didn’t go with Boone for the same reason. With no other ideas, I wrote down Knox since there’s a fort with that name.

Obituaries called this man who died in 1820 a celebrated colonel, the first settler in Kentucky & a man who delighted in perils & battle

Alex said two would come to mind, somehow forgetting Kentucky's Harlan Sanders

Nope, no mention on the Wednesday show about the Tuesday FJ! round.

Good thing I didn’t wager too much.

Hoping to hear an official response at some point.

ooh...sorry, we have to take the wager away as you pronounced it "wed-ness-day"

My opponent missed Great Barrier Reef AND gave me 3 points for it. Wonder what he was thinking there? I can’t even think of another plausible answer!

Maybe because "reef" was in the question.

An atom (or group of atoms) that has lost one or more electrons, making it positively charged, is a specific type of ion known by what name?

positively charged ion

how was I wrong on this one?

Barry like carry Berry like strawberry I'm with you. These have two different sounds and "Mary, merry, marry" have 3 different sounds. Best I can do for the differences is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2_VLUnbAbY Yup, that’s how I hear and say Barry. I was going to give a hard ar as in Tar...
