Jeopardy (the TV show) tonight

9 years ago

Tonight was the first time I ever cried at the end of a Jeopardy episode. In case you haven't watched it yet tonight, that's all I'll say.

Alisande, I was going to tell you last week when I first read about it, knowing that you watch Jeopardy regularly. It was so sad to watch her, day after day.

She was a good player, in spite of what she was going through.

I've been reading about it, but don't watch the show (or game shows). My mother does, I imagine she will be watching (pacific coast time)

It is a very divisive disorder that can shatter family relationships. I had two great Aunts who were a year apart in age and went through school in the same grade and were very close. Once one of them went back to where they grew up to visit the other - she basically walked in to the house turned around and walked out and went to stay with my Grandmother (her sister in-law). They spoke but my Aunt who was visiting couldn't understand how her sister could live like that and they were never as close. They grew up poor and under quite difficult circumstances (poverty and anti-semitism) and my Aunt was very hurt that her sister would live like that. Both were very tough but very sweet ladies who cared a great deal about one another but the hoarding was too much. Most of us in the family are pack rats - we all have to be vigilant or things get away from us.

I am a regular Jeopardy viewer and I knew about this last week so sad to know that she didn't get to see her appearance aired. But she did get to live out a dream of hers and boy, was she SMART and also a lovely person. RIP.

I knew about it too and cried when I first read about it. It was so amazing to see her win so bravely. I watched today and was glad that Alex Trebek acknowledged her.

Wouldn't you know, dh missed it tonight; it's one of his favorite shows and he'd been cheering her on. I just showed this to him and he was quite shocked. I didn't know about her illness either, and can't believe she could handle appearing just a few weeks before her death. What strength. It was a joy to watch her win, over and over.

I've been reading about her for awhile now and watched her at the gym for three night but missed her last time. What a shame. Such a smart lovely woman.

Since it conflicts with my zumba classes I don't watch it was much as I would like to but happened to watch last night. I didn't know anything about it and normally would have clicked away after the show was over but for some reason I saw the additional comment by Alex Trebeck. Yes , very touching. very sad.

I had read about this when the story was on line 10 days or so ago, but had completely forgotten when the shows with that contestant were to be aired. I did not even consider that it would be her till it was announced at the end of the show last night. Both DH and I were shocked...and saddened. Wonderful that she was able to achieve her dream!

I didn't equate her, with the lady in the news! I read that a week or so ago! Oh darn, we missed last night's episode as well. So heart-breaking.

Wow! I watched last night, but erased the tape before the very end. I had no idea. I was just sad to see her lose. I'm so glad she got to fulfill her dream.
