The Gameshow of Thrones
Me, the Jeopardy Champion–and Hadassah pinup–in 1987. Do you think that history can repeat itself? That depends on you!
Eugene Finerman, with 100 percent of his hair, reflexes and memory.
Jeopardy is celebrating its 30th Anniversary with a Special Tournament, featuring champions of the past three decades. The public–alias you–can pick the contestants.
In 1987 I won seven games, $69,502, a vacuum cleaner and 14 bags of chocolate chips. I evidently also won a special place in the hearts of the Jeopardy producers. Whether in fond memory or gleeful vengeance, Jeopardy has selected me as one of five nominees to be the Fan Favorite from the Eighties.
Yes, suddenly Jeopardy has become Gameshow of Thrones. Only one of the five will participate in the Tournament: the one with the most votes from the public. So, I need your votes!
The voting period is from September 30th to October 7th, 7 a.m. Hollywood time. And you can vote each day, at three different sites, and vote at each site. (I will take Byzantine Rules for $2000, Alex.) Yes, you can legally vote three times a day.
Here are the three sites where you can vote:
Jeopardy.com

Yes, it is exhausting…but I am probably worth it.
By the way, in case you were wondering, Yes, I do want to go back on Jeopardy!
With your help, I will! Just vote and keep voting!
Thank you, Eugene
If you decide to run for President, I’ll also be voting for you — just not as often. Good luck!
I plan to vote early and often.
You have my votes! (Although I’m envious that I’m not in the competiotion for the 90’s).
Maybe I would have been had I spelled competition correctly in the last post!
Having had just a twinge of angst when I knocked you out back in the UToC, I will happily vote for you to see if I can get back a tiny bit of karma. (Sadly, I got one of the “Unfortunately, we could not invite all of you” emails on Friday … lovely 50th birthday present, but I digress. 🙂 Go John of Gaunt!

Such a cute picture of you! I will vote!
Do you really need a new vacuum cleaner that badly?
Dear Eluned,
The allure is not the vacuum but the chance to share a stage with Alex and answer clues about Medieval History.
You have my vote! Go for it.
