The Questions
Tune in on Thursday!
Just for the record……my hands were not folded……I was holding a NON-adult beverage………
I was in the audience and had such a hard time not blurting out the answers…lol It was a lot of fun and the contestants did great !
It was fun and a great way to learn something new about PBS. I know that I did!
I had a great time too and like Linda I had to refrain from shouting answers. I say we battle it out in team jeopardy next time.
next time we need real buzzers or whistles with different tones to keep it interesting
Would be good to have the contestants face the crowd too so we can watch them sweat!
….and YES, those are googly eyes all over the front of Lori’s dress! She made one for herself and was gifted with another!
