Jeopardy! - Part 19

I agree with the previous poster that the current champ could be pretty.

However, her hair is kind of bushy. She needs a good straightener, and a little bit more makeup.

Why a new thread?

The other thread is pay walled for some reason.

It only had 240 posts, before going into lockdown.

The AHS thread got at least 450 before being pay walled.

And why would anyone FF the Jeopardy thread, in the first place?

The policy is so random.

Did anyone watch Jeopardy today?

I'm gonna miss Jessica's square tits.

what is, paywalled?

Only contributing members can post in that thread, R6.

Many threads start out open to everyone, but after a certain number of posts (seemingly random, depending on the thread), the "Reply" box becomes closed, and a "Only contributing members may post to this thread" message appears in blue.

Some threads will be open to everyone for 400 or even 500 replies, but that Jeopardy Part 18 thread was restricted to "members only" after only 240 replies. After that, only paid members can post in the thread.

Is there a reason for that R7?

That's the million dollar question, R8.

Nobody knows. It seems so random.

I was surprised that Cara, the actress, missed the DD clue "In the Heat of the Night". She seemed to have a pretty good wealth of knowledge with the other film clues. I thought Jessica would have a longer run.

I got FJ, bitches!

Dammit, I was rooting for Lindsey. She was so bad ass and knew her shit. If only she had wagered less money. Both of the ladies played well tonight. That was a really good game. So much more entertaining than the last couple of games we've seen this week. Even Alex seemed to be having fun.

I'm so damned happy for SUSAN WHITE!

Lindsey was SUCH a nasty cunt. I would have been very upset if she had won. She was so arrogant, even though she barely got any of the questions in Double Jeopardy.

She was literally scowling, when she realized she had bet too much. And at the end, when Susan looked over at her, that stinking bitch had her back to Susan! I couldn't believe it.

SO happy she lost!

Wouldn't it be hilarious if Susan lasted for a month?

Somehow, I don't think it's going to happen.

She seems like a nice lady, though.

Susan does seem like a nice lady and I'd be pleasantly surprised if she stuck around for a while. I'm surprised everyone thought Lindsey was a bitch. I actually liked her gung-ho playing style.

[quote] I'm surprised everyone thought Lindsey was a bitch

She started out on the wrong foot when Alex mentioned "Jeopardy James," and she immediately shot back "Jeopardy LINDSAY."

Bitch, if you're going to act that cocky, then you had better back it up. Which she DID NOT.

But the worst was turning her back on Cindy, at the end of the game. Cindy merely looked over at Lindsay (with a smile) as if to say "good game," and Lindsay wasn't having it. She was so foul and bitter at her loss, and she was a horribly poor sport.

FUCK LINDSAY.

I'm a paid member, but the other thread stopped showing up for me as a watched topic.

That's weird, R17.

So who won?

Some chick named Erin. Today was a good game. I got President Kennedy and alligator for the DDs and I almost swept the Carrie category but I couldn't remember Carrie Brownstein's last name. Couldn't for the life of me figure out FJ since chemistry is not my strong suit. I got sodium (Na) and Calcium (Ca), but couldn't come up with the other elements to get to the word 'nacho'. I'm sad to see Susan go but I had a feeling she wouldn't have a long run.

Nancy from Mr. PING with gay voice - ha ha!

He whiffed on Carl Sandburg, and they still couldn't get it???

Nice to see Natalie from The Facts of Life win today.

So now we have two active threads? Pay your $1.50 and stop messing up the site.

So who won?

"Alex Trebek Appears on Former Jeopardy! Contestant Austin Rogers' Podcast — to Talk Carpentry!"

Those who know Alex Trebek well know this one thing is true: The man likes to tinker and fix things, and he knows his way around a woodworking shop, too.

“I like to fix things,” he told PEOPLE during an interview at home last December. Even after announcing he was fighting stage 4 pancreatic cancer in March, Trebek continued indulging his love of home repair. “My wife’s bathroom has a leak, so I need to figure out where that’s coming from,” he told PEOPLE later in the year of how he was spending his time.

On Oct. 17, the longtime Jeopardy! host, 79, appeared on former Jeopardy! contestant Austin Rogers’ podcast A Lot to Learn with Austin Rogers to discuss his love of home improvement. (The second part of the interview will air on Oct. 24, when Trebek will also discuss his love of the Yorkshire English countryside, where he recently visited, and the world of the Bronte sisters.)

“All of my mother’s brothers were involved one way or another in the construction industry,” Trebek told Rogers, 39, of how he learned to do repairs. “Either in carpentry, painting, manufacturing, windows, doors, things like that. And so I watched them as I was growing up.”

Trebek added that his father wasn’t much of a handyman himself. “But I paid attention to mom’s brothers, my uncles,” he said

On the podcast, Trebek also chatted with Rogers (who many will remember from Jeopardy! as the humorous bartender from New York whose earnings totaled $466K, and who lost a 12-game winning streak by just $51) about fast cars and Los Angeles weather patterns.

In Rogers’ podcast, the former contestant likes to “dive into the arcane and unheralded to find the thing behind the thing. The stories, interests, careers and disciplines that exist just behind the obvious and the personalities associated with them,” according to a description for the show.

So happy with the new Canadian champ. Although, why is his name spelled "Kris?" That's the female spelling for it.

Just happy that he got rid of Thursday's winner. She was awful!!! Something about her witch face was so off-putting.

Perfect for Halloween.

Is there another Jeopardy thread? Can't believe this one hasn't been active for nearly 2 weeks. Today is the start of the Tournament of Champions. Come on DL!

Sorry, just read the thread...

I wanted Steven to win! He's hot!

Why don't I remember him, though?

I was actually rooting for both of the young guys.

I remember the guy in the first spot, because they had brought him back on a technicality, and then he went on a winning streak.

I'm not thrilled with Francois. He's just kind of "there." GO STEVEN!

On today's Final Jeopardy Dhruv didn't know the right question to the answer so he put down What is We Love You Alex" Trebek got choked up. It's was very touching.

I can't be the only one who has a crush on Alex Trebek, no? He and Keith Carradine make up the entirety of my "grandpas I'd like to fuck" list. I've thought he was handsome forever.

I saw that R30, and it was so cute!!

Dhruv is such a baby, and it was something like a kid giving his dad a card saying, "I love you dad."

I was surprised that Alex got choked up, and he actually couldn't speak for a few seconds. I think that even Dhruv was caught off guard by it, because he was actually smiling before his answer was revealed. I think he thought it would be funny, and not make Alex sad.

Still, it was the cutest thing ever.

However, I hope that people don't start copying Dhruv. It would actually become annoying, if everybody starts doing it.

I have a feeling that people will start copying Dhruv.

I'm very happy that Emma won.

I need to see a re-match between her and James!

Dhruv is very cute!!! and sweet personlity

I was shocked how easy the final question was though. I thought the second round was much harder

I want to fuck Dhruv into submission!

So cute!

Who in the hell is this mean looking D-YIKE??

Alex clearly wants to fuck Dhruv.

NERD ALERT!

R33 She beat him once, she's quite intelligent.

Yes, but Emma is weird.

She has no personality, and she seems to be autistic.

I have to tell you, I was very annoyed at the end of yesterday's game.

At the very end of the show, as Alex was walking over, Emma and the guy at the other end REACHED OVER Dhruv and shook each other's hands, basically ignoring him. It was so incredibly rude, I can't even tell you.

They didn't even acknowledge Dhruv. They just reached over him to congratulate each other on a "good game." I was flabbergasted.

What ever happened to this Indian twink?

I wanted William to come back...

DADDY!

^ class act

Did I miss something?

Why is everyone and their mother wearing a purple fucking ribbon?

I just can't, with James' teeth.

James had better win his show today!

I need to see a James vs. Emma re-MATCH!

Who is James up against on today's show?

purple=pancreatic cancer which Alex has and announced last night he's re-entering treatment. A contestant ignored the correct question and wrote we love you Alex which made Alex choke up. The guy lost (on purpose) and was left with 5 bucks. Watch the video. I can't link right now.

Thanks for that, R50.

I had no idea, that's what it stood for.

Between the purple ribbon, the pink ribbon, the red ribbon, and the red poppy, I get so confused.

^ I know, right? Just found out myself.

Did James win???

Who won, dammit???!!!

Who won on Tuesday, goddammit??!!

James won... even after missing the Final Jeopardy question.

Thank you, R56!!!!

Yay, I'm happy for James.

I absolutely have to tune in on Thursday and Friday, for the much hyped re-match between James and Emma.

It should be GOOD!

Who are in today's trio?

Someone on the paywalled thread mentioned that they think it's a done deal for James. I totally disagree.

Emma caught up near the end of Thursdays show, by betting it all on Final Jeopardy.

James is at nearly 30,000 but Emma has almost half of his score.

All she needs to do is remain competitive on Friday, and find a few of the Daily Doubles, and she can easily be back in the game. James knows it too.

The only reason he stayed ahead on Thursday, is because he found all three Daily Doubles. If he had not, then Emma would have been right up there with him.

So if she finds any or all of the Daily Doubles today, she could easily beat James.

I'm definitely rooting for Emma. I know the odds are stacked against her but mathematically she's still in the game. James' hand gesture towards to Emma when she got the FJ right--so cringe. She doesn't need your approval, James and it's not all about you.

Wow at Emma today tho I thought James played more conservatively as he had a large lead already. Is Emma’s great game today enough to put over the top? Stay tuned!

Someone from Part 18 said:

[quote] what bothers me the most is that he seems bored during the show, sort of as though he'd like to get this pesky stuff over with

I totally disagree.

James has always had a "poker face." He's a gambler, for fuck's sake!

I never got the impression that he's bored. He loves the thrill of winning. It's part of a gambler's makeup. Trust me, I would know.

What most people would mistake for being "bored," I see as trying to just play it cool.

James wants to win. Make no mistake about it.

Almost any other year and Emma would have been the undisputed champ. She just ran into a machine in 2019. You could argue she played against James on 3 days and she beat him on 2 of them.

So happy for James!

I was worried that humorless Emma would beat him. She was out for blood!

Thankfully, James put her in her place, and gave her a slice of humble pie.

She needed it.

I just read that James , Ken and Brad will have a GOAT face off and it’s gonna be live. At abc this January.

I wish I could be there!

"Final Jeopardy! answer was wrong according to many fans"

Tuesday’s episode of Jeopardy! left some fans questioning the accuracy of the show. During the Final Jeopardy! round, the clue was written in a way that technically two different answers could be correct.

The category was Oscar-winning films. The clue was: “The first words spoken in this 1970 Best Picture Oscar winner are ‘Ten-hut!’ ‘Be Seated.’” The correct response, according to the show, was “What is Patton?”

Many fans argued that the correct answer was actually Midnight Cowboy. Midnight Cowboy did in fact win the 1970 Academy Award for Best Picture. Patton won the 1971 Academy Award for Best Picture.

Patton debuted in 1970, so technically it is a film from that year. However, as the clue is phrased it does seem like the disgruntled fans have a point. The “1970 Best Picture Oscar winner” was Midnight Cowboy, even though the film came out in 1969.

[quote] #Jeopardy was wrong today with final jeopardy. 1970 best picture was Midnight Cowboy not Patton soooo?????? pic.twitter.com/qIz0VcFG5I — ricky 🎈 (@yoskayy) December 11, 2019

[quote] Final Jeopardy was wrong today. 1970 Best Pic was Midnight Cowboy. Patton was 1971. — Glen Farmer (@GlenFarmer17) December 11, 2019

[quote] @Jeopardy The 1970 Best Picture Oscar Winner was "Midnight Cowboy."

[quote] "Patton" was released in 1970. It didn't win Best Picture until 1971. — Patricia Schwarz (@TessEractica) December 11, 2019

[quote] Did @Jeopardy miss a comma or miss the year? Because the answer to “1970 Best Picture Oscar Winner” is Midnight Cowboy.

[quote] Is this one of those "year it came out versus year the ceremony is held things?" I have no idea, I bet low because as a general rule I will only start caring about Oscars if I'm nominated for one. — Author Jennifer Quail (@jenniferquail) December 11, 2019

Jennifer Quail, who actually won Tuesday’s episode, even weighed in on the subject on Twitter. “Is this one of those ‘year it came out versus year the ceremony is held things?’" she tweeted, adding. “I have no idea, I bet low because as a general rule I will only start caring about Oscars if I'm nominated for one.”

Quail did correctly answer Patton, but only bet a $1,000 — which is her lowest Final Jeopardy! wager during her five-game win streak.

Jennifer had better watch her mouth!

Jeopardy! will see to it that she's OUSTED.

There's a Jeopardy special on tonight!

It's on ABC, and the show is called "What is Jeopardy? Alex Trebek and America's most popular quiz show."

"A behind-the-scenes look at the taping of quiz show "Jeopardy!"; an exclusive interview at home with Alex Trebek and his wife Jean; a look back at the show's most memorable moments and contestants; hosted by Michael Strahan."

Sounds like fun.

Once again I posted in the wrong Jeopardy thread. Am I as dumb as Priscilla?

I have never felt as bad for a contestant as I did for Priscilla.

At least she’s smarter than our president.

R72, why do you feel the need to bring Trump into a Jeopardy thread? Tired.

RIP Alex. Too bad she dead.

Did anyone catch tonight's Australia question? The question was NSW, I'm unsure of the answer, but I thought I heard, "This is the lower right hand corner of Australia." If that's correct, shouldn't the question be Victoria?

I think Priscilla has now set the bar for stupidity and nervousness.

We can now rate other dumb players in comparison to Priscilla.

On 1 to 10 Priscilla scale (10 being total Priscilla), how dumb was so and so?

R75–Not when the category is “North South East and West.”

Priscilla wasn’t dumb. She was nervous.

I can't stand this new champ.

I can’t believe cookie sniffer Steve answered Gone with the Wind for FJ.

Did anyone else see Sarah just spazzing out, when she started losing?

She was doing weird things with her hair and her face, and she kept slapping her arms, as if she were some prize fighter.

What a fucking bizarre woman. I've never seen anything like it on Jeopardy.

Kudos to Joshua the jock for dethroning Sarah.

I wanted Ryan to win.

She was hilarious!

So weird. KABC in Los Angeles aired Monday's episode again instead of Wednesday's episode. The one where I was rooting for Cheyenne to win, but Sarah won when she got the correct FJ answer with Robert Frost.

Wonder if they'll air Wednesday's episode on Thursday and then catch up on Saturday (when they normally run a year-old Jeopardy episode). Or will they air Thursday's episode on Thursday and never air the Wednesday episode.

UPDATE: After accidentally airing a repeat of Monday's episode on Wednesday night, KABC in Los Angeles ran the Wednesday episode where Joshua won at 2 a.m. on Wednesday night/Thursday morning. So, the LA market is caught up again.

I figured out Final was Mahershala Ali about 2 seconds before time ran out. Would not have had time to get that name written down if I'd been playing.

Would they have accepted just "Ali" for FJ?

Alex doesn't seem to be too thrilled with the new winner.

I think he wanted Sarah to win.

Maybe he has a crush on her.

So many unanswered questions tonight.

Aloha to the Big Kahuna.

Guessed "Georgia On My Mind" for FJ.

Is Joshua gone?

I guessed John Denver's "Country Roads, Take Me Home" which has the line "West Virginia, mountain mama."

I initially thought Country Roads too, but remembered it was around 1971, then decided it was Sweet Home Alabama was more likely 1974.

R89, Yep.

I am truly surprised that no one was salivating over last night hot bro challenger?

Jesus, the two losers were dumb. And Audrey was the most annoying contestant in months. Asking if she can change her wager after the answer is given? Honey, begone.

R93, Sorry, but I didn't find him to be even lukewarm.

What a horrible game tonight.

Was Audrey coached by last week's Priscilla?

Audrey just wanted to be on TV.

R93 - I thought David was cute as well.

I have said so many times recently that the game was particularly lackluster that I felt like I was crying wolf in thinking that such was the case tonight again. So, thanks for all the verification!

Audrey was hilarious.

and she looked amazing in that dark green getup

Holy shit, Stephen was a hot piece of ass.

Why are there two Jeopardy threads?

Damn, I knew it was the space between N and S Korea but couldn’t for the life of me recall the damned name.

That doctor was hot as hell !!!

🥵🥵😍

really annoyed they gave despicable Jeanine Pirro such a mainstream, positive clue. They treated her like a respectable, normal former judge and current "news" host.

The doctor pinged to high heaven.

R105, Stephen did not ping to me at all, and I would like to offer him some consolation on his second place finish.

I felt the doctor was rather boring, and yes, he did ping to me.

I could put up with boring if the person is cute.

And, yes, there was major pingage.

And he's a Doctor! Money and compassion.

I miss smart contestants.

Another abysmal game tonight.

So many unanswered and/or incorrectly answered questions.

Tuesday's game seemed to have especially hard questions.

The the Daily Double question about Plymouth was poorly worded, especially for a category about Admirals. So and so admiral left this harbor in 1588 and another ship left it 32 years later? Or something like that.

In the Owl category yesterday, Deathly Hollows was part of one of the clues. I don’t remember exactly how it was worded since I was listening to it rather than watching it because I was soaking in the bathtub, but I know it was supposed to be Deathly Hallows.

I noticed Carthage comes up a lot as a subject

FJ easy tonight. Of course it was Robert E. Lee.

In the fridge, Bob!

Stephen Jackson was hot.

R116, How could Justin not know the rhyming word for that DD was orphanage, given the clues in the wording?

R117, Definitely, but apparently he pinged to the skies for everyone on here but me.

My gaydar needle did not budge for him.

I couldn't come up with it, R118.

I blurted out the same answer he did, R116.

"Smidge/orphanage" has always been a oddball rhyme. Unless he knows the show, it would have been tough for him to make a good guess.

R121, That's just it . . . Justin was powering through the category until he hit the DD at the end.

FJ was so easy it had me second guessing myself.

I thought that it said something that Justin was so happily latching onto that category.

Patrick pinged to kingdom come and back.

When was the last time a new champ embraced both opponents?

But did he grab their ass?

He's the first hugger I can remember.

Anyone see the drag queen on WOF?

I tuned in for a split second from the presidential town halls, and tuned right out again.!

Patrick is very smart. Did you see him wink at someone after he won?

Patrick. Yum.

There's something very likeable about Patrick.

R132, Attractive, but a bit too smug for me.

They missed some easy ones last night, Fred MacMurray among them.

They're not old enough to know My Three Sons or Fred MacMurray, r133

R134, Alex also falls into the trap of thinking that contestants are too young to know things. Well-rounded and educated people know about many, many things before they were born.

R134, Age has nothing to do with it. In preparation, contestants should study vintage films, television shows and Broadway shows, just as they should study history, Shakespeare, mythology, etc.

"My Three Sons" was an iconic series that ran for many years. MeTV currently airs reruns every morning.

Patrick’ s got a face that screams “I’m annoying, smug, and arrogant.” I don’t think he’s attractive at all.

Is Vinnie a homosexualist?

Vinny wins with a paltry $3,399.

I thought FJ was quite obvious, yet no one got it.

I was clueless about FJ.

Only thing I could think of was Roberts Rules of Order, which I knew was wrong since the catagory was sports terms.

I knew what they were getting at for final, but my brain couldn't get beyond "Something to do with Oscar Wilde..."

OMG Friday was a WILD ride! Loved it!

and the winner Terry can bench 300 lbs I want to see him shirtless

has anyone ever had a such a poor start but then gone on to have a runaway lead?

The winner had one foot in a coma and the other on a banana peel. So annoying.

He had one lucky break, which would be almost impossible to do again.

New champ Terry was incredibly nervous, but not as bad as Priscilla from a couple of weeks ago.

I don't see him lasting for more than one game.

So many went unanswered or answered incorrectly, you can see it frustrates Alex.

Blanked on FJ.

I think champion is on the spectrum--blank affect, eye contact avoidance, has lots of trivial knowledge but blurts it out without reflection, gym obsession.

That said, good for him!

Was it me or was he pronouncing "boroughs" as "bureaus?"

No, r147, it wasn't just you.

Alex has been making a number of mispronunciations lately. It’s got to be rough, but I’m so glad he’s still willing and able to do the show.

Was 420 a signal that he's a dope fiend? 🤔

R150 He was hopped up on the jazz cabbage!

R150, That might explain his confusing Andy Warhol for Andrew Wyeth. We should all feel grateful that he maintains aircrafts and doesn't fly them.

FJ was way too easy, even for non-Broadway fans.

Two good looking guys coming up on Wednesday.

I want to be the filling in a Sam and Adam sandwich.

Then I want Sam to take me around the world.

Great game for a change.

Team Adam.

Go Sam! Only lost by $1. Pretty impressive score.

Best game in a long time.

I cannot STAND that Assburger-esque bitch who keeps winning! I'm so sorry that Sam couldn't pull it off.

R156, Her constant swaying makes me bilious.

The current champ is annoying... BEYOND WORDS.

Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard.

What was up with the dikey lady dressed in a Peter Pan collar as though she were auditioning for the remake of Pleasantville?

Final was a give away

I'm actually enjoying the current champ. She's a strong player and knows her stuff. Her games have been exciting to watch, especially after a string of somewhat boring ones.

"Lebbenon."

Oh please.

Bless Jon’s heart. I think I counted five times that he didn’t answer in the form of a question. How did he make it through?

Did Alex give Jon credit for one of his non-question responses? It sounded like Alex reworded Jon's answer in the form of a question for him and then called it correct.

How could anyone Jon's age think that Jack Ruby assassinated JFK?

They get credit when answering in a non-question format during Jeopardy (although reminded of the correct format), but not during Double or Final Jeopardy.

And it took poor Jon the entire length of regular Jeopardy to figure that out.

I don't like calling people idiots, but I'm almost tempted to make an exception in his case.

The old guy may have been sharp at one time, but seems like some cognitive deficiency going on at this point.

Maybe he had a stroke on the way to LA.

Anyone watch the old Jeopardy! episodes on Netflix? Interesting to watch them alongside the current ones.

R168, Yes, watched several last weekend, including those with Alex Jacobs, Buzzy Cohen and the eternally annoying Matt Jackson.

R162, Jon resembled Andy Warhol.

[quote]And it took poor Jon the entire length of regular Jeopardy to figure that out. I don't like calling people idiots, but I'm almost tempted to make an exception in his case.

You never know how much the presence of the cameras and being on stage can affect people. Can make them nervous and slow to learn the lessons despite Alex's reminders.

I remember playing on a mock Jeopardy team in college one time. I did great in rehearsals, but froze several times during the actual game. And there weren't even any cameras there recording it.

Speaking of nervous Jeopardy! players . . .

FJ was so obvious, especially for someone Steve's age.

He could have saved us from yet another day with Miss Swing and Sway.

Gore ran on the Green Party ticket?! Oh, middle girl.

Alex sounds awful tonight.

Give her a break R174. She's Canadian.

I'm Steve's age, and all I could think of was the Birdman of Alcatraz. Gore was cringe-worthy. Yet again, blowing too many answers.

Was the Birdman of Alcatraz a baritone?

No one could identify Mike Wallace from a photograph, yet the more obscure Dalton Trumbo was easily identified?

Maybe because the Trumbo movie with Bryan Cranston has been playing on cable on and off for a while.

There's also a new documentary on Mike Wallace available via ON DEMAND that his son Chris has been promoting for months.

Maybe they weren’t sure if it was Mike or Morley.

Where is Mister Cocoa?

Maybe he’s with Art Flaming?

Maybe he took a wrong turn on the other thread and got lost.

I didn't watch last night's show as it was up against the debate.

An acquaintance of mine was recently in the Jeopardy audience, so enjoyed hearing his tales of being on the scene. There is no gift shop there, so the audience members get a coupon toward the online store. He said that Jimmy did trivia during the breaks.

I always wonder what movies were made on that old MGM soundstage. If I was at a taping, that’s what I would ask about. Warner Bros has a plaque outside each stage with the names of the well known titles that were shot there.

R186, With stops and starts, how long does it take to tape a show?

R187, Alex said recently that "The Wizard of Oz" was filmed on the current Jeopardy! set.

R188

I don't have any way of taping a show. Perhaps, I'll watch yesterday's episode online before I see tonight's?

R188–when I saw the taping of The Daily Show, for some reason, they took an actual timed break from taping during what were commercial breaks, apparently equal to the duration of the commercials. Perhaps it makes the timing easier.

Contestant Greg is an out homosexual. Can't decide if I think he's cute or not.

R190, I meant, how long did your friend say it takes to tape a Jeopardy! show?

Saw yesterday's show on YouTube, annoying ads and all! Once again, like a broken record, I knew almost all the ones that they did not. Christopher should have known catharsis, which would have helped dethrone our boring champ. I actually liked the challenger lady best.

I wasn't familiar with Ryan Reynolds, but sure am now - hubba hubba!

R194, Check him out in "The Proposal", with Sandra Bullock. Very funny film . . . and Ryan has a nude scene.

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed woman is Queen. She seems to know more than the other contestants consistently is her big winning factor. Had no idea of final, just several of the ones that they all missed during the game as usual.

Mauritius???

Aaron suits up a dream! Would have been fine with the challenger lady. My second choice for final would have been Savannah.

Thank you, God, for creating Aaron and saving us from another game with Mackenzie.

I guessed New Orleans for FJ.

I guessed New Orleans as well. It wasn't an entirely stupid guess, right?

Thank God Mackenzie is gone.

I never cared for her. Yeah, she's smart. Blah, blah, blah. But there was something about her that always irritated the crap out of me.

Having said that, I don't know if I like Aaron either. Maybe it's because it's the overabundance of confidence he seemed to exude from the moment he was introduced.

Aaron's deep voice is sexy.

Team Aaron all the way. Hope he hangs around for a while.

The woman in the blue sweater with the thick Boston accent was precious.

Didn't get FJ, but should have.

I didn't get final either, with the word serpent popping into my head. Underestimated granny, so impressed that she did so well, not that the challenger was particularly a slouch either. One of the better games in a long time!

Okay, Bruce is officially frightening me.

Bruce isn’t just on the spectrum, he’s full on aspie. I don’t enjoy watching these millennials on Jeopardy.

I knew I had to check this thread out as soon as I saw Bruce tonight. Be funny but not too nasty, boys.

I’m surprised nobody got FJ, which I thought was pretty easy.

I said nuns 😬😬

Aww, no nun emojis 🤷🏻‍♀️

I got final almost immediately.

Spectrum Boi needs to go away [italic]tomorrow[/italic]!

What really got to me was that none of them knew Lou Grant!

Missionaries was such an obvious answer. No idea how they could miss that.

And yes, missing Lou Grant was bizarre. Have none of them ever seen Mary Tyler Moore show?!?!

Bruce would have won even bigger if he hadn't had such a hard time pronouncing words. Felt sorry for him in that respect. Wonder how long he'll be the champ.

Missionaries seemed way too easy. I guessed Jesuits. Poor Bruce. He's so awkward. Even Alex seems to feel sorry for him.

Aaron seemed bored/annoyed most of the time.

Champs often have a sense of it being a game that they're not going to win fairly early on, and just sort of dropping out at that point.

The quality of contestants seems to be declining. I’m amazed that well-educated people don’t know that “ova” is Latin for “eggs.”

No show cause of the primary coverage 🙄

I didn't watch it yesterday as I found Spectrum Boi unwatchable. What is the love child of Fabio and Michael Bolton all about?

R216, Mr. Bernadette Peters is not as odd as he appears.

Gratefully, he spared us a third day of Bruce.

FWIW: In the LA area, KABC showed Tuesday's Jeopardy at 2 am today (Weds. 03/04/20). Figuring ahead that they might do something like that, I looked in the program listings and was able to record it. I mention this in case you thought that KABC would have shown the episode a day late, as they often do. Not this time.

Fabio and Michael Bolton?

I thought of the character Gimli from Lord of the Rings.

Is this what folks at Datalounge mean by "gay voice"? 🤔

Got final almost immediately.

R220, You betcha.

I had presumed the new champ is gay. . .

"Beard"

Meaning: Someone married to a gay person as a cover up. Explanation: A beard is an accessory often used to emphasise a man's masculinity. The gay slang term 'beard' can be thought of in much the same way since in this case, a woman is used as an accessory to emphasise the gay man's masculinity.

I thought Frankenstein as well.

All I could think think of was Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

"The Island of Doctor Moreau" is a crazed fever dream of a novel; it reminds me of Poe's "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket".

Only thing I could think of was Treasure Island but I knew that was wrong.

All hail to Champ Paul for heading off the stealth Canadian!

Not at all into recent movies, so had absolutely no idea of final.

Paul is really playing well.

I thought "Kramer" was going to be another player ending in the red, but he redeemed himself.

Only got half of FJ . . . India.

I didn't get "Moana" either. Paul's a great player, and seems like a good sport too.

Alex's voice is sadly showing the effects of the chemotherapy.

I'm reminded of Peter Jennings remaining on the ABC Evening News until he could barely be understood.

I thought it was interesting when Alex said he didn't remember who the champ was until he came to work that day.

I found FJ to be way easy.

I got both.

🥳🥳🥳

Nice comeback by Paul after trailing Mark throughout the game.

FJ was another easy one.

Jeopardy! and WOF will begin taping without audiences due to the Coronavirus.

I thought Mark was kinda cute. I like the tall nerdy guys.

He looked like Sheldon Cooper. 😛😛

I'm heavy into nerds, but Mark was too much for me. I had no idea of final, but was surprised when they flubbed both Trees and Brigham Young.

I figured FJ was something related to Oscar Wilde, but blanked on it being the Importance of Being Earnest.

Pop Art? Obvious early on that the champ was headed out, as is often the case with the losing game. Not a real fan of the new gal, but we'll see.

Jessica made a strong comeback in Double Jeopardy.

The answer of Graphic Novel was obvious but I was surprised to learn it was coined in 1964. I thought started in the 1980s, which is when I first started seeing comic books turned into graphic novels.

I was really surprised about the date "graphic novel" was coined too. Strange how it seemed to lie dormant for 20 years, and then become mainstream.

This chick is a personal stylist?!

Following Hanson around seems perfectly normal, by the way. Cute boys.

Slant eye exam?

Jessica Rabbit!

[quote]Slant eye exam?

I laughed out loud when he said that.

He deserved not to be a part of FJ just for that.

I guessed FJ correctly.

The young girl sure as hell wasn't going to know it.

R246, Actually, Dick Van Dyke made that comment fairly recently and it was well reported in the media.

I think I remember her looking good yesterday, R242. She had on a green dress that looked nice with her red hair. But today...eek! The floral dress with the ugly-colored sweater was not a good look.

[quote]Slant eye exam?

And the Asian contestant to his right did NOT seem amused by that reply…which immediately elevated it to hysterically funny.

Jessica Rabbit?

Aww, poor Trebek. It seems that he’s cutting loose some and not being so stiff and formal.

Wonder if it’s a choice or the result of his medications.

Yeah, but not many people might still care about Mary Poppins, R246.

"Mary Poppins" is considered an iconic film.

These fucking whippersnappers didn’t know Burns and Allen!

The girl in the middle looks like Kristen Wiig.

Boobie!

This DL poster feels "Mary Poppins" is a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious masterpiece..

I was trying at first to figure out whether Duncan had gayvoice or gay face, but came away with "both!"

Final was a giveaway, Boobie!

Duncan was cute.

Looks like yesterday’s sweater was on the show again today.

Jessica Rabbit always seems astonished when she wins.

Duncan definitely had the gay double whammy, face and voice.

Alex appeared frustrated to the point of disgust when all three were drawing blanks in the first round.

So true, R259! He did everything but call them idiots. They missed a good number of easy ones.

Yeah he had gayface, but it was a sexy gay face . . .

I thought a guy in his profession would have known the Latin word for "white." I didn't, but thought he would.

He seemed at the point of blurting out "Who the f uck let these guys on the show!" had their idiocy gone on much longer.

He looks more rat faces than gay faced to me.

^faced

"Nothing even remotely correct."

Possibly the easiest FJ in memory.

Sid is very likeable, hope he lasts a while.

I only saw the end.....was that a MTF in the middle?

The one who wrote The Wizard of [Fucking] OZ?

Yeah, FJ was super easy.

I love Sam.

I got the answer right away also. Sid rather pings for me.

R268, 430 people attended her wedding.

Duncan was hot.

I have a feeling we'll be chatting about Kris Sunderic tonight . . .

Test

OMG my husband and I were just talking about him! Total Mary!

She knows her Moby Dick.

A major pearl clutching come from behind victory for Kris.

He was so calm and serious through the whole game - and then in an instant he turned into a fan-waving Miss Pittypat.

On Twitter he said this:

What a game! I honestly thought I was going to pass out. Alex asked me "Are you hyperventilating?" I said I really felt very dizzy. He said "well you better pull yourself together because you have to be back out here in 10 minutes!"

Kris is a terrible actor and had weird hair. I think he was nervous as hell and missed some pretty simple answers. That said, I am glad he is back tomorrow ;-). Always fun to have people with some quirk.

What ever happened to John Presloid?

Did he blow all his winnings on meth and hookers?

Here he is, demonstrating his deep-throating skills...

Is John Presloid gay?

Is Nicole Economou a lesbian?

She really needs to do something about that hair.

What was that "hire a PhD" thing about on final Jeopardy answer? I missed the first half of show.

That gesture when he won kinda said it all! He was fatr butcher than the winning guy on Wheel of Fortune tonight, but that's not saying much...

Singapore Sling must be something for older people, but to come up with Rob Roy I thought was a bit much when the clue specified southeast Asia like that.

Final was a giveaway, including 1997 like that, so very shocking that both of them blew it!

Were there three gay players in today's game?

Sid, Nicole, and Kris all seemed gay to me.

Sid was a bit stealth, Nicole mentioned how "we" adopted a cat (but no gender reference to her other half), and Kris' dramatics was proof enough.

I thought it was Hong Kong. Nicole had a bit of a Sandra Bernhardt vibe. I loved Kris' hair and suit, and his super- dramatic Fred Sanford clutching his heart gesture after he won. I'll hire you Kris, but not as a professor. .

we admire youth more than true beauty, but I like that too.

[quote]He was far butcher than the winning guy on Wheel of Fortune tonight, but that's not saying much...

I don't watch WoF, but I can only imagine.

Winning guy on WoF tonight, Christian Dixie, is a freshman at Ball State University. Came across as being about as gay as you can get.

But winning WoF contestant Christian was one of the best players I have ever seen!!!! Maybe THE BEST. Solved long puzzles with just a few letters up there. Even figured out the final round puzzle was WAVY OCEAN.

Wonder what he teaches as an adjunct prof.

Someone I know is going to Ball U.

Kris, you moron. You blew a FJ so easy a 3rd grader could get it right.

Aw Kris, I would have given you a big sloppy wet kiss, if I was around on the set. Sorry, you lost and were nervous!

Kris is a ditsy bottom.

I'm glad that Kris went home.

He was much too neurotic and high-strung. Not fun to watch.

He actually made me anxious, with HIS anxiety.

I thought his nervousness was endearing.

I decided that Kris reminds me a bit of the manager of my apartment building. Prefer the new champ to the middle gal. Final was yet another giveaway.

WOF OT: two gay winners in a row!

Many tough questions in spite of the easy FJ.

I also like the new champion.

She's very calm and relaxed.

No over-the-top dramatics or nervous antics.

New champ reminds me of Tracy Flick.

Utter humiliation for Aaron . . . God, that was painful to watch.

New champ Michonne . . . Was she going for the shaved lesbian look but changed her mind midway through?

FJ was pretty obvious.

I got FJ! I’m really smart!

Great competitive game tonight.

Blanked on FJ . . . I don’t understand Isabel Allende's connection to 9/11.

I'm so pissed.

I forgot to DVR it tonight.

R307, Here it is . . .

That FJ was absurdly difficult.

R309, I knew it immediately.

R310 = Isabel Allende

I knew it immediately also; the Chilean part was the important clue, the September 11th reference was rather meaningless. Gay voice (again) for Abhijit?

I guess Allende's Uncle Salvador was overthrown on September 11th 1973, and she wrote about that day's impact on her life in Chile, then about the impact of September 11th 2001 on her life in the US.

I guess Isabelle Allende purely because of the 1973 Chile reference.

Yes, very gay voice for Abhijit.

Me too, r314 . Not many Chilean female writers to choose from.

FJ could not have been any easier. I was hoping we’d get a Linda Lavin-related answer.

Was it just me, or did the guy at the end seem a little bit, uh, quirky?

R318, He seemed to have checked out during DJ, but perked up at the very end.

Alex was being kind when he said "Fawlty Towers" might have been the correct FJ response.

"All in the Family" was the obvious correct response.

I think his failure to buzz in first was driving Vikram mad.

Vikram was on fire in the first round until he missed the Daily Double, guessing Lord Wellington instead of Lord Admiral Horatio Nelson. After that, it's like he quit trying. That's a shame because I really liked him.

Final was so obviously All in the Family, I don't know why anyone would have guessed anything else. But maybe you had to have lived through the 70s to appreciate that.

So glad the cross-dresser lost; I'm assuming she's gay, not genderfluid? Final another giveaway.

Nick: another hottie, great smile, touch of Matt LeBlanc. Thought they would all get FJ because of the date...

Definitely Team Nick, but I did like the blonde champ who hates camping as much as I do.

FJ was one of those where you blurted out the correct response before Alex finished reading it.

Sorry to see Nick leave so soon, but new champ Adam is an excellent successor.

FJ came to me, but it took a bit.

I got final right away, but the highlight of the show for me was rosemary as the passover bitter herb!

Adam is kind of cute too. A run of nice looking guys recently.

R327, He's a law student living in Somerville, MA, so he's probably a Harvard guy. That's where Obama lived while attending Harvard, Somerville and Cambridge abut.

^abut. Hee hee

How annoying is Susan's voice?

Very!

I only came up with Mexico for FJ.

Who won? FJ was preempted by the Cheeto’s daily briefing.

OMG Susan had helium voice. If I didn't know any better, I would've thought it was a cartoon character talking.

I didn't notice this yesterday, but Adam looks like he has no upper lip.

I can't stand grown women with little girl voices! I found Adam distracting with his necktie in front of his suit jacket like that. The Canuck should be ashamed of himself with Ecuador. I got two-thirds of a final, but figured the third country was Honduras since Belize used to be British Honduras. Pat myself on the back for knowing the Larry McMurtry is from Archer City, Texas as well.

Helium gal won, R331.

I got FJ! None of the players did.

None of the three had a great game. Bye bye Adam, nice face and voice.

Despite her voice, I liked Susan. Am glad she won.

I knew Mexico and Belize for Final. But didn't get the third country.

Susan had the advantage in some categories because of her age.

Me too, R336 🤗🤗

I read everything by famous author Val Kilmer.

I was surprised nobody got FJ.

I didn't get FJ either.

The new champ sure is feisty. I got a kick out of her saying something to the effect of "I just said that" after Helium Lady buzzed in to repeat the same incorrect answer she got wring.

OMG!

Friday's game was a humiliation for all three players.

FJ seemed obvious to me, yet they all got it wrong.

I wasn't sure whether final was Truman or Eisenhower, but correctly opted for the former.

The new champ guessed that Nordstrom's flagship store is in Midtown Manhattan, really? None of them knew that General Dynamics makes airplanes? Finally, maybe it's a gay thing, but I got Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe almost immediately!

Kyle was a cutie, but J. R. was incredibly sexy.

Unfortunately, they both lost to the new lady champ.

Living in Massachusetts, I should have known FJ, but I didn't.

I desperately guessed Jersey. Now I see it isn't even a county, let alone the correct one.

Sexy, indeed.

You had to find a US state with an18 mile (i.e tiny) coastline in a part of the country where states would be named for parts of England. New Hampshire is an obvious choice.

Well maybe, but not in 30 seconds.

To each his own, and I found Kyle far more sexy than boring J. R.

It helps if you know your English counties, and for that it helps if you know The Rain in Spain.

In Hartford, Hereford and Hampshire, hurricanes hardly happen.”

I thought FJ was easy only because I know NH is the only state with a really tiny coastline.

Glad the guy won . . . the mezzo soprano champ was a bit too overbearing.

Blanked on FJ, know nothing about Canadian geography.

They all blanked on some gimmes: Bordeaux?

That’s twice now that the show has been pre-empted for an update from the mayor 🙄

I wish he’d just declare a complete lockdown. I still have to work 🤨

Apparently construction is an essential business 🙄🙄

You’re in construction? How butch. Lesbian?

No, I work in the office, thank you very much.

Although we did have a baby dyke working in the back but, surprise surprise, she hurt her foot somehow and is probably gone for good 🙄.

r355 Not sure where you live, but when my local station premepts Jeopardy, they typically run the episode later that night at 2:05 a.m. So, I've learned if Jeopardy isn't on to automatically set my DVR to record at 2:05, just in case.

They replay it at 1:37 in my city. I’m in TX, btw.

Forget it, it’s too late.

Good FJ tonight. Also, I was surprised to audibly hear the judges correct Alex twice.

I usually skip the College Tournament, but glad I tuned in.

Marshall is definitely a cutie, glad he won.

R361, he’s being discussed in Jeopardy Part 20. Apparently he’s DL’s own Joel.

Why the fuck is there a Jeopardy Part 20?

[quote]Why the fuck is there a Jeopardy Part 20?

Because this one's been paywalled.

So what? If you’re too cheap to pay, sit out the discussion, don’t split it in two. Terrible forum etiquette.

It's Double Jeopardy.

R366 — Well played!

Here's the link to Part 20, which I just found. Apparently it was created more than a week ago.

It would be nice in the future if people would inform us that a thread has been paywalled and also post a link to the new thread.

^they can’t. They’re paywalled . That just makes their selfishness worse.
