First time this season with no Beast as Muffy was there in the left spot, joined by LaKedra & Arianna to fill out the panel.

David Maybury's blog indicates that Darlene Lieblich will be appearing as a contestant sometime this season (possibly today?).

Crassus last night, Crassus tonight on Jeopardy (no spoiler there).

Fer cryin' out loud, if someone ties the Master Mind in the final round, they should at least get an extra grand even if they don't get The Ultimate Trivia Question (bolding mine) right.

Fourteen tie games this season out of 51 episodes so far. That is more than a quarter of the time. Only two of them answered correctly. GSN has done a good job on not making the final question easy.

Player pages for David and Darlene updated.

The questions in the last round skunked me with a zero.

Sharon Stone question two days before a J! contestant with the same name competes. :)

3/4 for me. Was never going to guess Argentina, impressive get from Muffy. Math major in college, no way I was missing Asymptote. Question 3, if obscure fact, go with the obvious. Correctly guessed Tennessee Williams. Question 4, WECIB?

Learn something every day. While browsing through some music, I was listening to a song by Faith No More. As is my wont, I looked them up in Wikipedia, and then saw this hyperlink in the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Bungle and it all came together for me (I was unfamiliar with them previously).

"We Care a Lot" has been used in a commercial recently, incongruously in earnest. (I had to look up whose commercial it was, it's Alaska Airlines.)

I'm not sure any commercial used more incongruous music than Royal Caribbean using Iggy Pop's Lust for Life.

Does anyone know what biblical passage was being referenced on Thursday about the last word in the Bible? I was curious, but have been unable to find what the question was asking about.
