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:

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
