As Andy Goss noticed, Katy Beebe of the Carleton quizbowl team was on Jeopardy! yesterday. She ran the Dickens category and had the lead for awhile, but was out of the running by Final Jeopardy, and lost all her money on that because her coach didn't teach her enough about drinking. (Not knowing the Cuban brand name that sells the most -- Bacardi.) Katy's roommate Cheryl Klein, perhaps better known to quizbowlers far and wide, as a four-year member of Carleton's "A" team, was in Los Angeles taping Jeopardy! this week. Her show or shows (can't say) airs (or begins) July 12. The three of us went to a Jeopardy! contestant thingy at the Mall of America last November, and all got into the contestant pool. So I'm the only one of us who hasn't gotten the call. (As I understand it, they are done taping for the current season now and will start again in July. A person stays in the pool for a year before needing to requalify.) Eric H. P.S. In re "Pride and Prejudice" being "an alleged chick book," -- maybe there are guys dull enough to be so dismissive, but I'd sure hate to have to spend any time in their company. Hopefully quizbowlers would not be so foolish!
