Certainly got Ken's FJ correct now. No clue if I got it then.

Ken's first was the only one I watched (and I'll watch his last, too).

Am aware of the 20 new episodes.

Didn't get the Final Jeopardy! clue the first time. Remembered the answer, but I am not counting it since I originally didn't get it and still wouldn't have gotten it if I saw it for the first time today.

Spoiled on FJ; I think I was spoiled on the response before I ever knew the clue, so left it blank.
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

I didn’t see KJ1 when it first ran. I think I probably would have gotten it then.

I did watch Monday just to see Ken in his first game. I have watched it on YouTube before. I had the TV on Tuesday but didn’t pay close attention. I didn’t even turn on the channel the other days.

I am aware we still have the TT and no audience games.

Watched the KJ rerun. Don't recall if I saw it the first time around or ever. Don't know if I'd have gotten this FJ back then. Don't know if I'd have gotten it now or at any point in between if KJ hadn't turned out to be KJ. But as it is, I've read Brainiac and discussed Ken's first game here and elsewhere and know this FJ from that. So when I checked the box above next to that clue, I was really checking a box that said I got the following clue correct: "This was the correct response to the Final Jeopardy clue in Ken Jennings' first game".

I'll be watching the GOAT tourney starting Monday since I haven't seen those games yet. I do know the outcome. Was spoiled here as well as elsewhere.

I said Florence Griffith-Joyner this time, but have no clue what I answered in 2004. I would have certainly been much more likely to have gotten it then (especially considering Flo-Jo died in 1998!).

Hooray! Box of Glory!! But my avatar and screen name suggest a passing familiarity with the sport :).

I sure didn't see the original airing and already commented on how FAST everybody played. I don't even know what has aired on the other days, but am not interested in any Jeopardy James reruns.

I do know the general details of the remaining inventory of shows.

Only watched Monday's show, although I did happen to see FJ on Wednesday.

Answered Florence Griffith Joyner to put something down, do not remember seeing the show the first time it aired.

I am aware of the upcoming new shows (from reading the board).

I saw all five shows this week.

Am aware of the episodes "in the can".

Couldn't answer the first one about Marion Jones because I just don't remember how I did the first time it was on. I am a sports fan and was even more so back then, and her name would be fresher in the mind of a sports fan when this J! first aired... But I can't say with certainty whether I was successful on this clue back then or not.

All I can say is that I missed it this time...
