SEMI-FINALIST:
Jane Curtin
Jane was a little bit
scatterbrained, but you could forgive her for that if you saw her play
over the front end of the game, but that Final Jeopardy! wager.. Hello,
my baby, "Oh my God!" is right. She probably hoped beyond hope that she
was right, otherwise, this would've been Isaac's game. Hopefully she
won't make a similar error in judgment next time out, when she faces
THESE characters...
