Category - What do I stand for
BVI - Virgin - seriously that was ...ahem...Blitzerlike. Lrofl:

Stage fright and brain freezes are scary

What's BVI Virgin?
BTW, I love Jeopardy. Too bad Art Fleming is gone.

What explains this post?
That was the category and the question was about the British islands in the Caribbean including Tortola -BVI - she was supposed to tell us what the I stands for and she said Virgin and blew it.
