Hubby calls it "cheating." I call it doing research...

We get the daily Final Jeopardy question in our NYT every week day. I sometimes research the question at hand. For some reason, my husband calls it cheating. I tell him that "cheating" is such a harsh word!

Surely, folks, nothing is sacred if I can't do a little research!

Right?

These finalists must have put through some grueling study to keep up with other masterminds in the finals. Not just the answers but also the strategy used. Consideration of how much to bet on your answer, or whether to bet at all. It is lots of fun to watch!

I’d think they keep the same schedule even for the Tournament. I can’t imagine how mentally taxing that must be. Those players with win streaks are going all day until the lose.

Alex used to work 50-55 days a year. When their done Wheel tapes their shoe in the same studio with the same schedule.
