Our Babe's On Jeopardy!

Long time Fraters reader Shawn has been kind enough to keep me regularly updated via e-mail on the JEOPARDY! Power Players Competition that kicked off this week. You may recall that when the lineup for the special showdown was announced, we conducted polls to determine who would win the most money, and, more importantly, who was the hottest contestant.

On Monday Tucker Carlson staged a late rally to pass Peggy Noonan and win the day. According to Shawn, Bob Woodward was doing his best Mark Dayton impersonation.

Here's Shawn's recap of Tuesday's show:

Maria Bartiromo: A doorknob. Holy crap. I don't think that she just has a slow thumb. I was giving her the benefit of the doubt (slow thumb, or using the marker as a signaling button) until she answered "Computer worm" where "Earth Worm" was the right question. And it was obvious, the answer was about moles, digging, eating these types of worms or something. She was like a supermodel, or Jessica Simpson. Lots to look at, nothing between the ears.

Kweisi Mfume: Smarter than Maria, but no whiz-kid.

Anderson Cooper: One smart cookie, he won hands down, had about 12 grand going into final jeopardy, but got the wrong question at the end.


Today the man that our readers picked as the most likely to scoop up the big ching, Ari Fleischer, competes with the woman our readers chose as the most likely to scoop up compliments for her looks, Ashleigh Banfield, and the man most likely to have to bend over to scoop up his toupee, CNN's Aaron Brown. Here's the latest from Shawn:

Today, the winner and ever lovely Ashleigh Banfield takes the stage, against Ari Fleischer and Aaron Brown.

Tomorrow must be "Minnesota Day". The lovely Gretchen Carlson faces off against Keith Olbermann and the ever hated Al Franken.

Friday Russert plays, and I think he is a damn smart cookie. He faces off against Christine Todd Whitman and Tavis Smiley.
