Egad! The show really means everything to him!
I repeat my question from the previous thread: are they all gay? Conor certainly has the voice for it!
There were a few it was embarrassing to miss as they did. Doesn't everyone know about Alice B. Toklas, or just the 'mos? The U S and U S S R were established in the 1950's? To quote Mrs. Slocum "Weak as water!"
At least now, after the last few weeks, we see what a normal game is supposed to look like.

FWIW, I think maybe James meets his Waterloo (on air) in early to mid June. A friend of mine was a contestant who taped in early March and whose episode(s) airs in June. She's sworn to secrecy of course, but said that she met him ("a little full of himself") and enigmatically implied that she didn't play against him, suggesting that he lost before she was called to the set. Anyway, if that's true, you heard it here first.

The Teachers Tournament questions (er, answers) seem a lot less difficult than they used to be -- not much more challenging than those on the Student Tournament shows. I wonder if they're intentionally dumbing down everything to make the home audience/player feel smarter, or if the writers are just not as good.

Well, at first I found James and his style of play to be interesting, even exciting at times. In the long run, however, this journey (thanks, fraus) is beginning to feel rather repetitive and 'one note'. When the game becomes yet another runaway for James I find myself thinking of little things to do that take me away from the TV and James' inevitable victory.
So I for one am grateful to R10 for sharing what he's deduced about James' finale. I just hope that he's right.
When James is done it will be interesting to see what will come after. I'm assuming that there will be an assortment of wanna-be's who will appear over time and attempt to replicate James's relentless assault. I may be wrong but I don't see that happening. James is a singular personality who has focused and prepared much harder than he lets on. I think that the crown will be his for a long time to come.

R58 So far, he’s ratings gold for the show so they love him. A $2 mil payout so far is nothing compared to the extra millions in ad revenue he has brought the show. If ratings drop, then the show will find a way to ensure that his reign ends. But until then, the show is loving the publicity and increased ad dollars.

It wasn’t a strange bet in final. James had a lead, and the guy who was close knew James would bet more than enough to beat him. That means there was no advantage to betting it all. The challenger needed to lead going into final, and he didn’t.
He bet $10k thinking that if he and James both missed final, he’d win the game and at least go home with a nice paycheck of around $15k. His wager was a good one — except James didn’t miss final.

I was impressed with Nate yesterday and really think it came down to the last daily double that James got -- without that, Nate would've had the lead going into final. It almost seemed like James checked out for 6 questions or so -- never saw him do that before. It reminded me of Austin's exit, too. At his finale, it seemed like Austin just got bored and threw it.
And then I kept thinking about R10's 'breaking news you heard it here first' spoiler, and knew James would survive. Please don't do that. It's just very assholey.

Don't remember the winner's name or didn't really note it, but she was fantastic. Actually all three players played really well. Alex noted that there was only one wrong answer in Double Jeopardy. The winner got both doubles in DJ so that took James out. He seemed a little resigned even before round ended. It was really fun to watch because all three players were so sharp.

Ken Jennings pointed out that all of the highest scoring champions have been bumped off by one-day-wonders. When someone like Jennings or Holzhauer loses, they break for a long lunch to spend time with the departing champ, and then resume taping the next episode later in the day. He thinks that somehow throws off the new champ, and they end up losing.

If he's a real gambler I look forward to reading that he took his check and blew every dime of it at the craps table in about 30 minutes In fact, if I don't read that it just confirms my suspicions that the whole professional gambler story was nothing but bullshit to get him selected for the show.

I thought he was more of a gambler in terms of sports betting rather than at the casino tables.
I know someone who knows someone who went to high school with James and was in the math club with him. That someone said he was really disappointed to find out that James is a pro gambler. He thought James had the brains to do something really good/useful for society. Also James was very socially inept in HS.

[quote] Why is it so hard to believe he was simply outplayed today? The winner is very smart too and James was further cockblocked by the other guy who did decently himself. He couldn't hog all the answers this time and he didn't hog all the daily doubles either.
Exactly what I was thinking. He had two really good players competing against him, who were basically tag-teaming James. When one didn't get the correct answer, the other one did. And the questions were hard! I barely knew half of them.
James would never throw the game. His ego is too big for him to let the chance to be the "all time money winner on Jeopardy!" There is absolutely no way that he would let that title get away from him.
The lesbian beat him fair and square.
That said, R133 is on to something. Big time champs are always ousted by a one-hit wonder, and it pisses me the fuck off!!!

@R146 . I also noticed that James wasn't his usual "Commander of the Buzzer" self. Was it a coincidence that both of his opponents had buzzer skills equal to his own or did they get a little help from the show ?

James does have a bigger wealth of knowledge than most, but what really made him unstoppable was racking up the $$$ through wagers. All it takes to defeat him is to keep him from the daily doubles and make sizeable bets when you get them.

E.J. is good looking but all during the last show I noticed that he keeps his mouth hanging open all the time--probably nerves on his part but still, I find him really annoying and I keep wanting him to lose. I miss James. I was surprised to find out that I really enjoyed someone knowing all the answers and that I wasn't sitting there thinking dumbass at every other question somebody missed or didn't know the answer to. For me James was weirdly comforting to watch (although his ghoulish lower teeth bugged the hell out of me. Most other contestants are normal people with average amounts of knowledge or lack of--which is now quite boring. James was a genius really. It'd be great if they have a James vs Ken Jennings contest (or James/Ken/Brad).

Jeopardy tapes every other week, R334. They do 2 weeks worth of shows in 2 days, so there’s often a 2 week gap for returning champs. When there’s a tournament in between, there’s a 1 month gap. The champ probably flies home in the interval. I do wonder if Jeopardy picks up the airfare, though.

I don't mind Ryan at all. He seems like a regular young guy who happens to know a lot of trivia. I don't find him annoying or obnoxious like some other recent champs. Hopefully he stays this way

He said he didn’t make the cut for the show’s 2017 college tournament, so he tried out for the regular show last year. His episodes were recorded in late March.
Since then, Bilger graduated from Gettysburg College, where he majored in history, and took a summer job as a park ranger at Manassas National Battlefield in Virginia. He plans to pursue a master’s degree in public history at West Virginia University in the fall.
"What I told myself,” he said, “was if hit a Daily Double I was probably going to bet big on it. People don't always think about this, but Daily Doubles are the big weapons," able to close gaps or put games out of reach.
The plan went well in his first episode – he hit two Daily Doubles and his lead was insurmountable by the final question. He was announced the champion, did what he described as “my stupid, goofy shrug” and was soon whisked backstage to prepare for the next taping the same day, in which he built another uncatchable lead.
Bilger’s experience on “Jeopardy” provided an answer to a question his mom had about the show: Why don’t contestants shake hands after the game?
He said they are actually instructed not to. Some contestants stand on risers behind the podium to keep everyone roughly the same height for the cameras. Reaching for a handshake or stepping down could someone to fall or otherwise ruin the shot.
(Bilger, at 6 feet 2 inches tall, said he didn’t need a riser.)
In a Twitter thread after his win Thursday, Bilger also explained why you sometimes hear contestants rapidly clicking the buzzer – they’re told to do that, too.

‘Jeopardy’ Rematch? James Holzhauer and Emma Boettcher, Who Beat Him, Join ‘Tournament of Champions’
“Jeopardy” hero James Holzhauer and the woman who finally beat him, Emma Boettcher, have both signed on to the show’s 2019 “Tournament of Champions.” And no, Ken Jennings isn’t involved — he was not eligible, a “Jeopardy” spokeswoman told TheWrap.
This tournament only includes winners from Seasons 34 and 35. The 15 contestants will compete for a grand prize of $250,000 over a 10-day period from Nov. 4 – 15.
Holzhauer’s 32-game, $2,462,216 winning streak made him a household name this year — but it ended just shy of Jennings’ all-time winnings record of $2,520,700 when Boettcher stopped the trivia-machine in his tracks on June 3, just $58,484 away from the record.
Following the show’s airing, Holzhauer said, “I never really believed I could win 75 shows, but I definitely thought I had a great shot at Ken’s cash winnings record.” Now, he has one more chance to regain his former glory.

by Anonymous | reply 456 | July 11, 2019 2:30 PM |
For the posters asking why why John P and Ryan didn’t make it, the TOC is determined first by number of games won: 5 or more and you’re automatically in, regardless of how much money you made. That’s why Rachel Lindgren is in with only 76K. If there aren’t enough 5+ game winners to make up the 15 needed for the tournament, the rest are selected by $$$ won, so Emma gets in with only 3 games but $97K.
Unless someone wins big over the next couple of weeks before the season ends, it looks like the TOC is set.

You’re right, R458. The TOC tracker hasn’t been updated, but Ryan's $107K over 4 games puts him ahead of Eric Backes, and bumps Emma out of contention. Hopefully we’ll see him again.

Yes Ryan bested Emma -wins and money won so more deservng to be in the TOC . I read in other boards that most are upset about Emma's inclusion but apparenly it's purely the producers decision. They want a potential rematch between giant killer vs James. And Ryan said he's happy to be told he's an alternate and if not, will also be in the running for the next toc.

Alex's wig can host and someone else could shame female contestants? You notice Alex only does that to women who keep getting answers off? He seldom if ever speaks in that condescending paternal tone to males. My mom watches him every night and she always says she'd hate to be one of his children. He's probably not a mean man, but he scolds and disapproves in a real ego damaging way. Sometimes when the contestants tell their prepared personal stories he kind of mocks them too. He's loosened up a bit, but he's not exactly a fun or funny guy. He's prissy, not professorial. Jeopardy will do fine without him, as long as they pick a serious and affable host with a good broadcast voice. Preferably a woman. (Hey Gail King!)

The lady at the end really knew her stuff! The behemoth not so much. I recognized the rather attractive pic of McKinley, surprised they didn't.
Guessed Dr. Suess for Final, but who's this Carl(e) guy?

Dr. Seuss was the only thing I could think of, but was pretty sure it was wrong. Clue just didn't seem worded to be Dr. Seuss.

Eric Carle wrote The Very Hungry Caterpillar. It was obvious that Sendak was the answer.

I immediately figured it was Maurice Sendak because of the clue referring to his magnificent artwork. I'd never heard of Carle.

Hotel California!! Woohoo!!
I thought it might have been to obvious an answer.
Guessed Victoria Falls that time when no one got it either. 🤗🤗

Anyone else distracted by Jason's shiny shirt? I was afraid Grandpa would take it away from him before he got five nights in. Had no idea of final myself.

Hotel California was the obvious answer since the clue contained a bit of irony about the review criticizing the LA sound.
Rumors was a good guess. But Exile on Main Street?!? WTF

There is something ragingly hot about Jason. He really isn't that handsome, but he is off-the-chart sexually appealing.

He seemed to have a combination of gay face and gay voice to me, but not "hit you upside the head" right away. I think it may be his eyes as his best feature. If he wins tonight, I don't mind waiting 6 weeks to see him again.

I like Jason's humility. Not at all full of himself. Wonder what his students think of him. Glad he beat Nathan, the tenure track mathematician, who was way too manic for me. Good looking though, Nathan. I think Jason may be straight, but it's not a slam dunk.

See you in 6 weeks, Jason.
Maggie was the definition of frenetic.
Mike was a cutie, but not such a good player.
FJ was easy, yet nobody got it . . . Lusitania???

How about the "Dorian Goy"?

Lusitania was all I could come up with. The way they were drawing out her answer I thought it was really the Doria gray and they were debating about whether to penalize her or not? Mike would have been a good winning champ on another night, but this just wasn't it for him.
I was amazed that reports were that Alex was in incredible pain and discomfort for the last taping and he pulled this one off almost miraculously!
The thing about Jason is that he's now had five nights to mention any kind of wife, girlfriend, family, whatever, but nada. I was rather stunned that the brilliant kiddies guessed 1948 was either dropping the atomic bomb or invading Korea.

They really aren't teaching history anymore if they thought dropping the atomic bomb happened in 1948 or that the US invaded Korea in 1948.
It was obvious that it was desegregate the troops. What else could it have been in 1948 that Army officials objected to? But schools these days are unlikely to have taught that.

FJ was easy. The clue indicated it was connected to the Titanic. So that narrowed the choices greatly. It was only a matter of knowing the name of the ship.
I knew the first part of the ship's name began with CARP, but I thought it was something like the Carprica, instead of the Carpathia. So, I would have missed FJ even though my answer was much closer to being right than the Lusitania, the Britannia or the Dorian Goy.

And if you're in Connecticut, it's the Darien goy (are there any non-goys in Darien?)

No, r574. In FJ you don’t have to spell the answer correctly, but you can’t add an extraneous sound.

Sorry, I mean “yes” it is unacceptable.

It's kids this week, which doesn't interest me at all. At least, two nights here it's up against the Democratic debates so no big loss.

We're starting the hiatus, so how does that translate into their filming schedule? They're very close to starting up again, right? So no news is good news concerning Alex, yes?
by Anonymous | reply 579 | July 29, 2019 5:18 PM |
Last year they started taping July 17 for shows that began airing September 10, so it’s likely they’ve already started the new season. I guess no news is good news as far as Alex’s health goes.

Jeopardy tends to tape weeks and even months in advance. So it is feasible that Alex Trebek may record another full season even if he doesn't survive until the last episode airs. He is due to turn 80 on 07/22/2020.

Here’s a short video for the 36th season of Jeopardy! Taping started 7/22 (Alex's birthday), and the season will begin airing on 9/9. I’d forgotten about the returning champ Jason. Yes, the wig is awful.

R588, Attending a Jeopardy! taping has to be a boring experience, as game show tapings go.

R589 I'm sure it's no The Price Is Right. I've been to at least 10 tapings of that over the years. It's a ton of fun, but not really cerebral.
