So it is now known to the world that I lost my second match of jeopardy. I'm too tired from today to provide the detail play-by-play that I did of my first episode, but I will mention a few details:
- They cut off part of my "Getting to Know You" segment. What everyone saw: Alex asking me about my Spanish vocabulary, and I told him that I had to learn various election-related phrases. He then said, "like 'Voto'" and I say "Exactly!"
What really happened: He was just joking and made up the phrase "Voto," so he was surprised that it actually meant "vote." Actually, it means "I vote," but I went with it anyway. He said something like "So, it really does mean vote?" because he was apparently astonished that he actually said something that made since. I kept saying that it did, and then we stared at each other awkwardly with the audience laughing in the background.
- I still only got one question wrong (and it was only worth $400). However, I got beaten really bad on the buzzer. Those of you who have competed in trivia competitions with me in the past know that I am really bad at buzzing in.
- Good thing I'm not going to be a doctor: I should have known where parietal bones are. I also got the measles question wrong because I misread the clue, which leads to my next point:
- In case you didn't notice, I don't pay attention when Alex reads the clue. I read the clue first because I usually finish doing so way before he finishes reading it aloud so I have enough time to think about it.
- I am a crazy better. Some people would not have bet that much in case they got the question wrong. However, I figured that 1) I'm crazy 2) I know a lot about Napoleon and 3) I already did what I came here to do (win), might as well do something risky.

You are indeed a crazy better. Playing with money like that, you should run down to AC.
