Peekaboo versus Polkinghorne
Peekaboo versus Polkinghorne by Roxanne McDonald
 |
It wasn’t until I was a third of the way through this July 13th episode of “1 vs. 100” that I suspected I was taking notes on a re-run…but since I have gone to such involved trouble, will repeat the repeat, then. |
Gawd, I get so discombobulated at this time of the year with TV. Good thing it’s not a life-saving device that like a dialysis patient one depends on for consistency of scheduling: first there are missing/skipped episodes, then there are trading time slots (I’m still trying to keep up with FOX and “On the Lot” as it jumps from Monday to Tuesday and back again),
then there are time’s-up episodes to-be-continued-the-following-week which do NOT pick up the following week.
That’s my silly gripe, here, as I excitedly tuned in for a continuation of the cutie with the curt, no-nonsense responses: Paula Russell was on her sixth question when “1 vs. 100” ended last week…. Where in hell is her continuation?
Anyway, here are the questions you have likely already seen and gotten answers to, for the equally delightful, animated and now 174,000 richer Peekaboo—who was up against a mob that included nine Hooters girls; Annie Duke; the Jeopardy! Player who unseated Ken Jennings, Brad Rutter; and the reigning “1 vs. 100” mob champion, who had made it through 25 questions before being knocked out, Rex Polkinghorne [whom Peekaboo also knocks out, I think]:
