celebrity jeopardy: day one

yesterday was the first installment of this year's celebrity jeopardy tournament. we had regis philbin, nancy grace (ick) and carson kressley (my pick, purely for entertainment purposes). the highlight of the show was most definitely when nancy grace said "flamingo" (bird) when the answer was "flamenco" (dance) and then getting her panties in a wad arguing with trebek, the judges, and the other contestants, blaming her georgia accent.

the low point would be the fact that, because of all of the applause, random blank stares, and the singing (some chick from wicked took up waaay too much air time), they didn't finish the board in either round. there were delays all around, but as one person on the jeopardy message board said (i swear, today is the first time i've looked at it): "and could someone tell nancy grace that she shouldn't wait for applause after every response - is she really that much in need of validation?"

yes, i think she is.

the winner? well, mr. philbin of course. nancy scratched the correct answer out in exchange for some illegible scratch, and carson, though getting the right answer, just didn't wager enough.
