This is pretty good, but not who I was thinking.

I also get some Judge Reinhold vibes, and maybe that dude from Scream (Matthew Lillard) also?

yeah I keep thinking that but it’s not him, it’s someone else and it’s fucking killing me

it’s probably some sort of sales douche I interacted with in real life 100 years ago idk

Eric you fool. You had 18,600. Second had 10,000. The last clue for 2,000 says blah blah blah grunge band blah blah blah.

Take a freaking guess. There arent that many choices. You look to be old enough to know about grunge bands.

You have to know nothing about the rest of the clue. There are only a couple of obvious guesses. If it’s more obscure then so be it.

At least Karma was insta-hot. See you in the TOC.

Just caught jeopardy for the first time in a while. And now I also can’t place who that guy looks like. An actor in a sitcom who plays a flamboyant sweater vest wearing assistant to a female lead is what I’m picturing, but I can’t think of the show.

30 Rock guy?

Thats the one.

That’s how you win from 3rd. It’s not that hard to figure out what the players ahead of you are going to do.

Megan Wachspress: 11800-6199=5601 (3x = $34,402)
Steve Ruiz: 16200-10601=5599
Sarah Borrelli: 13400-10000=3400

Very Wachpressive

I don’t understand the 10k bet from Sarah at all.

She obviously can’t do maths

Had the current champ won 5/6 from behind including from third twice? If I have time later I’ll look it up.

Yeah something like that, and several of them are by $2.

1 lead/lock game
3 2nds after ignoring third
2 3rds

Lots of wagering errors but she gets the major thing of staying above a cover bet miss from first. She forgets about third when she is in second. She doesn’t recognize what she needs in terms of make/miss structure and over or under bets accordingly.

She is 3/6 on FJ and 5/5 coming from behind by looking pretty much only at covering a miss from first.

She will get destroyed in the TOC, but all in all, she wagers better than the average player. Which says something.

Game 1 she forgets about third and wagers $2 more than a cover bet miss from first

Eric Ahasic: 18600-1401=17199
Barry Margulies: 9000-8000=1000
Megan Wachspress: 10000+7201=17201 (New Champ)

Game 2 lock game (barely)

Megan Wachspress: 11600+0=11600 (2x = $28,801)
Gregory Scruggs: 1000-998=2
Peggy Gibbons: 5400-1000=4400

Game 3 Wins from 3rd by wagering $2 less than cover miss from first. Second hands her the game essentially, she should have been locked out.

Megan Wachspress: 11800-6199=5601 (3x = $34,402)
Steve Ruiz: 16200-10601=5599
Sarah Borrelli: 13400-10000=3400

Game 4 wins from 2nd on first missing. Interesting first did not make the full cover bet, so Megan would have lost on a triple stumper (she again wagered to beat a cover bet miss by $2 and ignored third place)

Megan Wachspress: 9200+7999=17199 (4x = $51,601)
Sadie Goldberger: 9800-7500=2300
Molly Fleming: 3300+3200=6500

Game 5. Wins from second on a triple stumper using same strategy. Since she needs first to miss she probably should have bet small.

Megan Wachspress: 10000-9599=401 (5x = $52,002)
Ketty Pan: 200-0=200
Tory Leviton: 10200-10000=200

Game 6 wins from third on a solo get. In reality since she needed to get it right she probably should have bet bigger.

Megan Wachspress: 8400+201=8601 (6x = $60,603)
Rob Kaplan: 16500-7901=8599
Jenny Sholar: 12200-8700=3500
