Spangenberg!
May 12th, 2005 | by Scott Jennings |
Am I the only one completely psyched/primed/pumped about the Jeopardy! Ultimate Tournament of Champions? That doesn’t seem quite right, but I guess I’ll have to accept it. I mean, we do realize that over 150 former Jeopardy! five-time/tournament champions are competing for two spots in a three day playoff with game show legend Ken Jennings, right? And we’re aware that right now, we’re in the middle of the round of 18, and next week we’ll see a pair of two day semifinals, and the finals start a week from Monday, right? And the winner of the tournament takes home a $2 million prize, you know? This is EXCITEMENT.
Last night my main man/childhood hero Frank Spangenberg played a hell of a game and came through with a miracle in Final Jeopardy! to come from behind for the win. Best. Jeopardy! EVER.
The finals of this tournament are the same week as the finale of American Idol — please leave me completely alone from May 23-25.
(I get my game show nerd fix over at TVgameshows.net, and you should, too.)
