There was a very touching NPR story about this on Monday. The interviews with her husband really got to me.

Her death was one more horribly shitty thing that happened in a horribly shitty year, but she was nevertheless, for me, the hero of a year in which I did not expect to find any.

Strange episode today. Middle guy got screwed out of a runaway win because one of his correct responses was considered wrong, then they adjusted his score before FJ, but they didn't subtract from another contestant who also got that one correct.
also a hidden star trek reference in the category names.

Semifinal 1: Andrew Pau v. Austin Rogers v. Lilly Chin.
Andrew's gotta be the favorite after his impressive win on Friday. It looks like he's the #1 seed considering he doesn't have another quarterfinal winner in his group -- but this is still a very tough group! Andrew and Austin overlap in their humanities expertise so Lilly should be able to dominate the science categories. Austin clearly wasn't prepared for how fast Alan was on the buzzer in the quarters, leading to some unforced errors, but no Alan there this go-around, so Austin may be able to use his buzzer speed to his advantage.

new champion donna brown met her husband when they were both college radio djs at the univ of georgia. she did the '80s show, he did the noise show. they argued a lot. "noise," she explained to alex, "is a kind of music that's experimental, so there are themes and motifs and everything, um, less structure." but everything's good now: "our marriage has structure." she's very bubbly. i like her a lot.
also, she had the only correct answer on final jeop: "this label, home to u2 and bob marley, was created, fittingly, in jamaica with an investment of 1,000 pounds sterling."

That was crazy, prior to final alex told him "you're $4400 short of the one day record" and he was up by like 65k so I was honestly surprised he didn't bet more - the birthday thing explains it.
