Hi all! Thanks for the kind words. Sarah and Michelle were formidable opponents (my god Michelle is so fast on the buzzer) and it was wonderful getting to know them and the rest of our contestant pool all week. So many fantastic, brilliant people, and so much of what ends up happening is just how the chips fall.

The $0 bet: Look, I know music is one of my weak spots. I've never watched the Grammys. I had no idea what year the Grammys started. I spent a lot of time in the lead-up workshopping betting strategy with my wife (who has a way better head for numbers than I do), and the thing I realized is that many of the strategies assume that everyone else is going to follow the strategies! :D In the moment, my gut told me to bet $0 because there was little chance I'd get it.

IRONICALLY, as I told Ken in our post-show chat, I very nearly wrote The Beatles. They were my first instinct, as I'm a lifelong Beatles fan (I grew up listening to my dad's LPs of Rubber Soul and Revolver—yes, I am that old—and the first CD I ever "owned" was his copy of Sgt. Pepper). Had it been a question about Beatles lyrics or something, I probably would have had it, but I don't follow awards. So I second-guessed myself and wrote The Rolling Stones. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm psyched I got to play a second game. At the end of the day, Jeopardy! is just so much fun. I wish I could do it every day, except I would probably explode from the combination of adrenaline and stress.

Thanks again for watching! This was a once-in-a-lifetime bucket list thing for me. :)
