Doesn't your family have an idea of how you did based on how long you're gone? (ie: After the first taping, you're headed back home? 2. Are there a large percentage of answers you know, but just get out-buzzed? 3. While you were out here for the taping, did you get to go to DL? Thanks!

Particularly in the first round there were a lot of answers I knew but couldn't buzz in on. The buzzers are VERY tricky. 3. Sadly no. But I had only just moved to Cleveland and will be moving back to SoCal this summer.

Originally Posted By tiggertoo Did anyone record it? If you did, throw it up on YouTube or something, please. I would like to see it.

Originally Posted By Mr X Yes, definitely congrats!! Even participating is very cool in and of itself, but you freakin WON Jeopardy! Awesomeness and kudos all around!! <---would love any heads up if anyone locates it online. I realize it wouldn't be kosher for CM to say so even if it were out there somewhere, but hopefully someone can sneak me a link somehow! (I already searched my usual places, but no luck!) Everyone knows where to find me on email and facebook.

Good thing you weren't.> I was going back and forth myself between those two as the "think" music played. I finally settled on Lassie because it seemed more "AFI-friendly" somehow. And Terminus, they tape 5 shows in a day, so unless you win a LONG time, your friends/family would never know based on how long you were gone. Interesting that they let you tell your friends now; when I was on they said "only your Mom," but they said it with a smile, so I don't think it was official. They were very strict on not blabbing to the media, though, and in fact they don't send you your money till well after it airs to make sure you don't. (In '94 they gave themselves 90 days AFTER airdate to send the money - sorry to tell you that CM!)
