But now you're out of hands to point to your hometown.

Except, of course, Mr. Ross from the old Twilight Zone episode.

I like when Ken told the lady who likes David Bowie that her hair looks like David Bowie's. And she didn't seem to like the comment.

Pretty rare but I’ve seen it. Helps to be related to lots of yoopers.

Not sure what the leader was thinking here. Guess he figured 2nd was going level 2? A lot of trust to put into others.

Jennifer Linde: 15200+3500=18700
Donesh Olyaie: 18400+10000=28400 (New champ)
Helen Belcastro: 8400+8400=16800

It doesn't cover a double up from 2nd and it doesn't cover WRR if 2nd bets only to cover 3rd.

Not to mention that in the event of WWR he has to survive a tiebreaker.

Tuesdays ep, maybe 8 questions left, 'new champ' hits the last daily double.
It's something like 15k, 15k, 5k.

Wagers 10k.

Get it right, don't have a runaway, get it wrong, runaway against you. Lolz

That was amazing. She also wagered a casual $500 on a daily double.

She gets the proverbial rubber brick award for not even trying to win. I had to switch to rubber bricks. I was having to buy too many new TVs.

Looked for your episode on the MillionaireWanted38 youtube channel. At first it looked like they skipped your week, then I hovered the mouse over what was labeled the week before and it has "wrong dates" in the title, lol. Was your exit question the bridesmaid one?

Pretty exciting with a tie and three allin bets last night resulting in a buzzer race.

Of course why third place bet it all is a big mystery. Pretty clear that two leaders were going to shove. She could have least just bet enough to pass in case either of the two got cute but in all likelihood she was only winning in a solo.

Not only was 3rd's bet LOL, but her answer. In what alternate reality would the freed slave who was killed in the Boston Massacre be honored in Hawaii and England?

Very interesting game last night.

Middle podium had a slight lead and got a mid round DD (the last one) and only bet 2,000. He got it right but the champ cleaned up late and passed him.

Then in FJ, trailing by a small margin he bet big and missed. The champ also missed but bet 0.

The champ is willing to to adjust his strategy. He either thought he was a dog and/or his opponent was a dog in the category The Wild West and then bet based on the read.

How are people feeling about them having 4 day champion Zack Newkirk back today to face the current 7 day champion?

I have a hard time coming up with a fair solution to get the old champ back in but feel like having him face a 7 day winner is pretty unfair to all three contestants including the third player who shouldn't have to face two multi-day champions.

Seems like bringing him back to face a random 1-day champ would've been more fair to everyone, but maybe his return date was chosen before knowing the opponents? I'd be kind of pissed if I was him, being one win away from a ToC spot and then being forced to face a 7-time champ instead of 2 randoms.

I would like to shoutout the lady on wheel of fortune last night who hit the express 1000 four times in one puzzle and declined it every time- the last time when there were two consonants left and solved instead of taking the free $2000.

The other day a guy answered a question about Kazakhstan and he answered (incorrectly, obviously) Potassium.

Makes me think he got the idea from watching Borat, lolol.

Borat says: Kazakhstan is the No. 1 exporter of potassium.
