Farrell Fan Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I hope Mr. B fares better with these "ultimate" champions than another NYCB choreographer did a couple of weeks ago. In a category titled "JR" not one of them was able to identify the dancer in a sailor suit as Jerome Robbins. Link to comment
Anthony_NYC Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 So I've been waiting to hear how this went. Did anybody watch? Link to comment
carbro Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 They aced the category. It was a championship match, so the contestants were all very good. It was the first time I'd watched Jeopardy in many years. Link to comment
Treefrog Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Can you remember what some of the questions -- oops, answers -- were? Link to comment
Marga Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Can you remember what some of the questions -- oops, answers -- were?I wrote a whole long post on this, with all the answers and questions when they were fresh in my mind, but, as sometimes happens, the post went "poof" into cyberland, never to be found again. This, as usual, removed all desire on my part to write it all over again. In the days since, I have forgotten the "answers" but I do remember some of the "questions". Perhaps we can come up with some new "answers" for them! • Who is Maria Tallchief? • Who is Tanaquil Leclercq? • What is Midsummer Night's Dream? • Who is Terpsichore? (the contestant pronounced it "terpsicoor" -- the "answer" asked for the the third muse, the muse of the dance, after listing Calliope and Polyhymnia) • Who is Gershwin? (the "answer" mentioned "Who Cares") Link to comment
