Dave, Congratulations to Pidge for being a great two-day champion. Sorry to see her fall on the third day... she really looked like she was enjoying herself all along, which is all this viewer wants in a champion.
I did get a laugh on her second day, during the "Meet the Press" category (I think Pidge either ran the category or came close). At one point they showed a photograph of onetime MTP guest Bill DeBlasio, and the male contestant rang in and asked "Who is Vernon Jordan?" Hey, I'm pretty dumb, but even I know Vernon Jordan isn't a white guy! BTW, Alex is drawing some flak for a rather innocent joke he made to the contestant who ended up besting Pidge: http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/entertainment/television/Philly-nerdcore-rapper-blasts-Alex-Trebek-for-calling-contestant-a-loser.html Well, it made me laugh. Maybe not the greatest joke in the world, but at least Alex has a sense of humor, which is more than I can say for the people responding to him... -Tim On Tuesday, October 11, 2016 at 12:08:46 PM UTC-4, PGage wrote: > Pidge was delightful - a great champion.
