No Jeopardy here. Do you suppose you could fill in some details, my friend.

What's BVI Virgin?

BTW, I love Jeopardy. Too bad Art Fleming is gone.

That was the category and the question was about the British islands in the Caribbean including Tortola -BVI - she was supposed to tell us what the I stands for and she said Virgin and blew it.

BVI was a clue (British Virgin Islands). Answer would have been Islands, contestant said Virgin.

I don't have anything against repeat winners, but at least Ken Jennings had a personality.

and he's knows stuff I didn't anticipate he'd know - I have no problem with him.

What I dislike is his age groups' approach to seeking out the Daily Doubles.

That was one hell of a brain fart- Blitzer was far worse - he didn't know shite
