I pick Caitlin

Just one more end-of-year retrospective. I realize reminiscing isn't required just because the calendar turns over. But I couldn't resist Carrie Grosvenor's poll on the top game show moments for 2010.

This post's title probably tells you how I voted. Caitlin Burke's incredible one-letter solve on Wheel of Fortune obviously got my ballot. The solve was just a stunner when I watched, and it doesn't seem any less stunning in YouTube replays.

Right now Roger Craig's one-day record on Jeopardy is leading the pack in votes. Nothing against Roger, but sooner or later the one-day record was bound to fall. Sooner or later, though, such an out-of-the-blue solve on WoF wasn't bound to happen.
