    The Episcopalian priest had a really embarrassing run on the King James Bible category tonight. He stunk.

    I screwed up during Playthrough Family Thanksgiving Jeopardy and I'll never hear the end of it. I keep score with all the extended family barking answers the whole time, though ultimately it usually comes down to me and my sister. But my goofball British brother-in-law, a microbiologist, cleaned up on a biology category in Double J and had the most money going into final.

    When the final category "State Songs" was revealed he immediately said he'd bet zero (again, British) and I just forgot about him, playing the final against my sister as usual. I had more money than her and bet zero thinking she wouldn't catch me, and didn't. But I forgot about the BIL having more money than me, so he won and danced all over the damn house. And making it worse, I got final correct so I could have bet enough to cover him. Grrr.

    @playthrough, that reads suspiciously like a fantasy team post, and you know what a certain former poster said about that.

    With all due respect, keeping track of that seems like a shit load of work.
    When my kids got old enough, we played it as a point for calling out a correct answer first, negative one point for a wrong answer, and 2 points for final jeopardy, and call it a day.

    Last time I played a board game was on a camping trip 35 years ago. Trivial Pursuit was the choice. Since my teammates thought I was a sports expert, they picked the sports category almost every time. We aced the thing until we got to the final question. Get it right and win the game. "What is nickname for the city of Cincinnati, Ohio?" I had been to Cincinnati a bunch and knew it was "Queen City." But the damn card said it was "Forest City." We did not win. I quit.

    Forest City is Cleveland, so game fail. Cincinnati's is either Thank God, We're Not Kentucky or Home of the World's Worst Chili.

    Yeah, fair. But let the record show I have zero fantasy teams!

    It is a lot of work, thankfully just once a year.

    One of the contestants gave the same response as someone who already missed the question. What is going on?

    Me and my older kid were screaming at the TV after that and Mrs. W said that our competitive DNA was showing

    That was the woman with the horrific voice, right?

    Also last night.. Guy gave a 5 word response to a clue in the 4 word response category. It was accepted.
