What is "someone you had dinner with," Alex?
Did anyone record the first half of tonight's Jeopardy? Because I only saw the second half and I really want to see the contestant interviews done during the first round.
Why I want to see it:
I was on the phone with Mr. Cedar, who is visiting the in-laws, and got off the phone around 10 after 7, just before the episode went to commercial. While watching the second half, I kept saying to myself, "That contestant in the middle looks awfully familiar. How do I know her? I know I've seen her somewhere." I should mention at this point that I really need new glasses. I was able to see that the contestant's name was Linda, and completely missed Alex calling her Linda Sue. Yes, "Sue" was written after "Linda" on her name screen thingie. So Spacey Cedar couldn't figure out who this woman was until the end, when Alex Trebek called her "Linda Sue Park" during Final Jeopardy.
"Oh my God!" I said to Beezus and Ramona, who were chasing their furry toy mice and completely ignoring me, as is status quo unless they want me to fill their kibble dish. "That's Linda Sue Park! I had dinner with her at ALA. Okay, wow, I'm incredibly dumb." Now, I'm wondering who's got the contestant interviews out there because I really hope she went up there and said, "Yeah, one time I won this little thing called the Newbery Award." She is just the coolest person ever and I am glad that I did not end up sitting directly next to her at said dinner at ALA because half of my food probably would have ended up in her lap, stupid klutzy fangirl that I am.
