This is (experts only) Jeopardy!

If you’ve been unaware, and I doubt you have, then you haven’t noticed that Jeopardy has been in its Tournament of Champions “play-off”. TV Execs at CBS are trying to compete with the NBA finals on ABC. I haven’t paid attention to the Neilson ratings, so I cannot report which station is winning. In a sort-of related note, this fall the BBC will be airing all WWE events, I am told.

Although I follow neither Jeopardy nor the NBA, since neither seems to impress ‘the ladies’, I have watched a bit of the former due to the urban phenomena called “a roommate.” “A roommate” is often a misnomer since roommates often do not share a room. In fact I have yet to even mate with any of my roommates.

So, my roommate, we’ll call her “Sexy Maryanne”, has been watching the Jeopardy tournament when I've come home a few times. It’s one thing to watch normal Jeopardy and be able to play along (and half the time be right), and another to watch people who’ve already won Jeopardy answer the most esoteric questions ever conceived by a Trebbek. 'Fuck! What's the average rainfall in July in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia?!"

How come Price is Right doesn’t have a Tournament of Champions? I rock at that.

And the babes are always impressed.
