Both challengers were getting smoked by the returning champion for most of the show. MB came from behind in the last few seconds of Double Jeopardy to keep the champ from unreachability... and after a startling turn in Final, he edged the champ and won. a high-drama victory no one would've predicted before the last three minutes or so.

This is a much more exciting story than my lame-ass second-place finish on "Rock 'n' Roll Jeopardy" (on VH1, hosted by a pre-"Survivor" Jeff Probst, of all people).
All hail Minstrel Boy!
