Amy Schneider, a transgender woman, extends 'Jeopardy!' winning streak to five

They should have Trans week on Jeopardy - all Trans contestants - and a Daily Double Mastectomy.

I read this as Amy Schumer and I thought, "Damn, girlfriend is looking terrible!"

Nerdy white man wins Jeopardy...but in a wig this time!

The dress screams church lady.

Look, anyone can see from my post history I dont agree with a lot of trans stuff and have no problem calling it out. But....what is the point of this OP? To laugh? To say its wrong? To act indignant that this guy is smart, and likes wearing a dress?

Unless you can point me to their twitter page where they are railing against lesbians for not fucking them, I dont care and wish them the best tbh.

[quote]The dress screams church lady.

It does look exactly like my pastor's wife in the 1980s.

R27 it's the same.

She didn’t know she’d be in this long and she’s run out of successful outfits.

If the tranny was so smart, they wouldn't be a botched tranny. This show rigged it to have the tranny win. It's woke points, nothing more.

Like this freak on Sky News Australia.

You sound touched, r9.

R11 I'm touched, yet a tranny isn't and having it posted on our GAY website like it's such incredible news, isn't!? Yeah whatever you think, delusional cunt. Don't waste anymore time talking to me, you have trans freaks to fuck.

I think she's tremendous.

R13 🤮🤢💉💊

That is a man in a dress.

She has a moon face!

I thought it was Chasten's portrait for First Lady,

I've noticed that she's always dressed very conservatively (I recall one outfit even had a string of pearls), and thought it must be to try to stem any kind of anti-trans backlash bs against her. She's been great on the show and earned every win. Hope she continues to be on for a long run.

Amy strongly reminds me of former Survivor winner Sophie Clarke.

Also a tranny R19, that's why.

I'm NoT TrAnSpHoBiC I JuSt WaNt To StAnD uP fOr GaYs AnD WoMeN.

R5 gets it.

That was unfair they didn't approve the answer 'the ambassador of France' from the blonde girl when they wanted 'the French ambassador'. Cheaters.

I could tell she is a FTM that is attracted to women with the way she dressed.

I meant MTF

Tonight she responded "oral fixation".

I don't know anything about this person, other than what has been posted here, which is basically nothing. I loathe the nasty hateful trans activist, but I have no ill will towards anyone simply because they are trans. And truthfully, just from the photo I wouldn't identify her as trans. I would think that it was an unattractive woman of a certain age. And I don't even mean that as an insult, it's just an superficial observation.

Yikes

I believe she had a backwards saying the ambassador to France, R22.

When she loses it will be actual violence.

Mother's pearls really pull the look together, sweetie. Kudos.

He’s getting an erotic thrill out of this, and it’s at our expense. Disgusting.

[quote] Look, anyone can see from my post history I dont agree with a lot of trans stuff and have no problem calling it out. But....what is the point of this OP? To laugh? To say its wrong? To act indignant that this guy is smart, and likes wearing a dress?

How about to celebrate that a trans sister has gotten so far on the show, you fucking TERF?!

R31, how exactly is it at your expense?

I just think it would be terrible to be born the opposite of what your mind tells you you are. Let them be whatever they want to be.

Man in drag. I can see the mustache peaking out. Ha.

Get a fucking wig. My god.

Stunning and brave!

Too many people have brain poisoning from social media such that they can't even enjoy something as innocuous as someone doing well on Jeopardy.

Wow. I saw this thread and opened it thinking people would be praising Amy's skill and knowledge. She's won 6 games and over $200,000! Go Amy!

Instead I found exactly the opposite of what I was expecting. Very disappointing but I guess not surprising.

Man in a dress.

R8, True! In reality, "Jeopardy!" contestants are told to bring two changes of clothes.

Good for him.

The fault here, of course, is that this was made a store about the person being a transgender woman, not a Jeopardy winner. That being the case, anyone complaining about comments focusing on the person's appearance, whatever, needs to STFU. They are using the person's gender to gain publicity, which is frankly contemptible. Celebrate the person's knowledge, and shut up about the rest.

^^ made a story

R19 … except that Sophie Clarke from Survivor is a woman, and doesn’t have a massive great jaw with a five o'clock shadow on it.

Amy Schneider is male.

She’s a husky gal.

Maybe I'm dense, but I didn't realize she was trans until pointed out here. Now, I'm quite conscious of it from her very deep voice.

For all the people here who are unkind about her, it's ironic as she's the opposite of all the obnoxious trans activists, coming across to me as very polite, almost shy.

R47 Extremists of any kind tend to be a minority in their own group.

Good point r47

Good for her! I hope she beats her own record.

This type of thread always feels like I'm shopping for ignores. If only some of you came out of the closet so you wouldn't be projecting your self-hate into others. If only.

What is a male?

Amy seems very sweet.

I applaud her success. Whilst not University Challenge, some of the questions on Jeopardy are actually hard and she’s nailing them way better than I could.

I’m all for the trans community, but I have a question: why do so many middle aged trans women wear pearls? Middle aged biological women don’t wear pearls—their mothers and grandmothers did.

Pearls do seem to be the go to choice for trans women of a certain age.

r55 their fashion role model is Agatha Christie.

R52 If you have to ask that question, what are you doing on a gay website?

She's a winner! $257,000 in 8 days. Not bad!

I thought it said AmySchumer and thought to myself - "good for her for losing some weight"

I blame climate change.

That she's trans, R60?

Not even real pearls either ! I agree with others who said she does seem sweet,and theres no denying shes smart as hell. I think what gets me the most about this trend is not one of these poor things could pass as a woman in a blackout room. They just look like ugly men in drag. At first I was all "shriek!" but now Im just "Live and let live" . As long as they dont act like assholes "ITS MAAM" I couldnt care less.

The Barbara Bush look really doesn't work for him.

I’ve been impressed my her breadth of knowledge. She’s really smart, particularly for a chick.

Only 1 of the top 10 biggest winners on Jeopardy has been a woman. I would be morbidly delighted to watch Amy snatch the title of winningest woman of all time.

“Her” nose piercing is classy.

Anyone saying you couldn't guess he was an actual man (which he is) is fooling themselves. That's clearly a man doing elderly church lady cosplay, through and through. How very great for him though.

JK Rowling's rabidly angry DL fan base, when they learn of this news.

I wish more male identified men would wear dresses, I think it would help level things out.

[quote] Anyone saying you couldn't guess he was an actual man (which he is) is fooling themselves. That's clearly a man doing elderly church lady cosplay, through and through. How very great for him though.

But she’s not dough. I don’t see a man at all. Only the ignorant do. Let’s do some simple maths shall we? Transwomen = women periodt, therefore this lady = woman. There is no man in this equation and maths never lie! How very great for HER!

A nose ring to boot.

Aunt Bea.

Amy Schneider is a man in a dress. A HE. Who replicates demeaning, socially-dictated female stereotypes. Posters applauding/supporting Schneider should be lambasted for this insult to women.

R73 Could you specify exactly which stereotypes about women Schneider replicates?

[quote]I don’t see a man at all.

Seriously? Even with that beard?

R74 Don't pretend to be stupid. Schneider is a man replicating his understanding based on socially-inculcated stereotypes of female behavior, stance, and appearance.

I love how her trans woman style is Harried 1950s Housewife Who Trying Her Best

Transgender woman. Most absurd concept ever.

R76 I guess you've watched all the shows, what stereotypical behaviour does Schneider display?

I find her just the opposite of most activist older male trannies who overcompensate the stereotypical feminine with loud frilly dresses and lots of makeup. People have jeered at Amy for resembling Barbara Bush, but at least it's realistic in that there are older women who do dress like that.

Just my personal opinion from only seeing her on television that she seems more dysphoric than autogyne to me.

The pearls are straight outta Mayfield!

Is it true Mike Richards got caught trying to sneak in dressed as Mayim?

'A cock, in a frock, on a rock' ~ Nuff said.

Who gave her the pearl necklace?

R75 LOL you can see that manface from space.

He’s made his way to the champion of Jeopardy. I say good for him. Contestants truly have to stand out in the audition process, in addition to being smart, in order to get selected. He definitely differentiated himself, and got the job. And now he’s won almost $300 thousand! Of course “trans” isn’t a real thing and we all know it, but he used the current social mess to his advantage. Make your money!!

[quote]To laugh? To say its wrong? To act indignant that this guy is smart, and likes wearing a dress?

You need an education. Men who "like wearing a dresses" are transvestites. It's (usually) harmless role playing--drag. They know they're playing a game of pretend, and they can take off the costume at any time. They're still men.

Not the same thing AT ALL as mentally ill trannies who take dangerous opposite sex hormones and cut off healthy body parts rendering themselves impotent and sterile. And not the same thing as men who present as women 'specifically' to gain access to female only spaces to gain some advantage (sports) or do harm to women and girls (rape/assault in prisons, shelters and bathrooms).

She reminds me of old school trans. Just a person trying to get through the day as best she can, working with the cards she was dealt.

I wish her nothing but the best. For those of us who have issues with the current TRA dogmatic, aggressive movement (myself included), we should be praising trans people like her.

Because, R5, these men are misappropriating womanhood.

They are not women.

They are not any kind of woman.

They are men who like to affect the appearance of a female.

End of.

[Quote] Why do so many middle aged trans women wear pearls? Middle aged biological women don’t wear pearls—their mothers and grandmothers did.

Yeah I don't get this either. Trans women love wearing pearls. Meanwhile, I don't know a single woman under 55 who has ever worn pearls with a dress. It's something, to me, that makes trans women stand out from their cis gendered peers. It definitely is a tell, unless pearls come back into style in the near future.

R90, they think that makes them look traditional and "safe". It doesn't.

But pearls are my favorite gem - okay apart from diamonds and okay emeralds, too. LOL!

I love my pearls - I have real natural ones that are quite large mm and were originally in opera length. I had them shortened from 30 inch opera to 24 inch matinee. I then had the extra pearls made into a lovely bracelet with a beautiful gold clasp. But then I am a woman.

I got those pearls in my mid 20s and I wore them all the time. Even with jeans. They were divine.

Clymer is nothing but a larper.

What's a larper?

R91 My grandmother did the same thing with her pearl necklace . My grandpa bought them off a Chinese sea captain in Cuba who claimed he got them from a White Russian in Shanghai. They were so long she had them made into 2 bracelets as well as a necklace. I hadnt thought about that story in decades till you reminded me of it. Unfortunately all her "good" jewelry was in a bank when Castro took over and she lost everything. But back to the subject ,Trannies who dress like grannys !

R23 Yes, MTF who are attracted to men always dress and present like pornstars, like this:

[quote]It's something, to me, that makes trans women stand out from their cis gendered peers. It definitely is a tell, unless pearls come back into style in the near future.

Oh honey, you don't need pearls to tell a tranny from a real woman. Two other things:

1. There is no such thing as "CIS". We don't identify ourselves by appropriating the psychobabble of the mentally ill.

2. We do not consider mentally ill men our "peers"

Bet she fucks like a champ!

Trans pride!

Reading these comments make me wonder when did the Republican National Committee take over DataLounge?! The hatred towards trans folk on this site is past borderline vitriol - it's downright psychotic. You have no fucking respect for people like Sylvia Rivera and other trans women at Stonewall... you fucking gay dicks have no clue. You're all pecs, muscles, Botox, a wide gaping hole, and BIGOTRY. Go fuck yourself if you think bashing trans people is going to win you a spot in Heaven next to Anita Bryant, Pat Robertson, and Jerry Falwell.... it's not. Those people hated your faggoty ass too.

R98, you need some education. Pearls are not republican.

You also need to educate yourself on the origins of Stonewall . . . wait . . . I get it, you're joking. You have me there for a minute. Good one.

R98 It's not the RNC invading DL (although there are a lot of MAGAts here). It's largely middle aged female readers of the Daily Mail who have come here and infect our site with endless posts about Meghan Markle, the royals and JK Rowling. Whenever you call them out for their obsessive posting behavior, they go on an FF spree and get you locked out from posting. It's downright deranged and a pox that Muriel should cure.

Oh and look at that. The angry JK Rowling stans got so triggered that they got OP's post gray slashed. How pathetic.

I'm tired of having contestants on for more than a five-day win. It's not Amy La Barba, either. I was rolling my eyes and James and Matt as well.

[quote] You have no fucking respect for people like Sylvia Rivera and other trans women at Stonewall... you fucking gay dicks have no clue.

Uh, Sylvia Rivera was not trans. There were no trans at Stonewall. Talk about having no clue.

A nose ring with pearls.

The transphobia on this board is vile. Do you despise them so much because they're lumped together with gay people under the LGBT+ umbrella? Are you that insecure about yourselves that you're threatened by trans people?

[quote] You have no fucking respect for people like Sylvia Rivera and other trans women at Stonewall... you fucking gay dicks have no clue.

Sylvia Rivera was not trans, and Sylvia wasn’t even there at Stonewall that first night.

Sylvia was passed out on H sleeping it off in the park that night. Or so say Marcia and others.

[quote]The hatred towards trans folk on this site is past borderline vitriol - it's downright psychotic.

It's so rational and sensible, logical and liberal, to call a man in a dress a woman.

I wonder what percentage of "transphobia" is just people being tired of hearing about this crap. If Any wants to be referred to as female, whatever. She's a masculine-looking woman with questionable fashion sense, but there are no shortage of those from the biologically female crowd either.

It's boring, and most people simply don't care. Move on.

There is no hatred of trans in this thread. Most have said good for her, live and let live. They’re just pointing out she was born a man and cannot pass as a woman. Is pointing out facts considered vile hatred and vitriol now? Man up and get thicker skin.

[quote]Is pointing out facts considered vile hatred and vitriol now?

Stating facts is literal violence.

[quote]If Any wants to be referred to as female, whatever.

If Schneider demands from his personal relationships that they address him as female, whatever. When Schneider demands that the general public address him as female, no way. Ever.

[quote]It's boring, and most people simply don't care.

But people do indeed care. Especially when men such as Schneider attempt to negate reality, biology and common sense.

R112 How predictable and tedious. The Amy Schneider's of the world aren't diminishing or taking anything away from anyone. People who are going to do bad things in locker rooms or bathrooms aren't going to be deterred by the sign on the door. And news flash, biological women, criminals and sexual predators can be other biological women as well.

It's frankly embarrassing that people spend so much energy on this.

[quote] The Amy Schneider's of the world aren't diminishing or taking anything away from anyone

They are trying to self-identify into a protected class. When you can do that then the protected class loses its protections and rights.

This ain't rocket science.

R114 That would be incorrect, but thank you for the laugh.

[quote] They are trying to self-identify into a protected class. When you can do that, then the protected class loses its protections and rights.

And bathrooms...

R116 If the core argument boils down to needing more public bathrooms, then people need to talk about that and STFU about the rest of it.

So, R116. That's what it all boils down to, is it? Bathrooms?

The OP only started a thread to elicit transphobic comments. I mean, why even start thread on this topic in the first place unless your goal to get posts mocking this woman? You all should be ashamed of yourselves. Even if you don't agree with T being lumped together with LGB, the woman is a human being and still deserves basic human respect. I can't even imagine the courage it took her to be true to her inner identity, and no, it's so much more than a man playing dress up. I can't believe how ignorant some of you are. Truly appalling.

She looks fine. Thank god she's not yet another person trying to look like a Kardashian.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but the US DOES need more public restrooms r118

I agree. We need communal peeing walls like they do in Europe bars. It is so much easier to see everybody else's junk.

Have you ever jizzed? Then you are a man.

Do you still have your junk? Then stay out of the ladies' room.

This is a matter of physical safety for women and girls. It’s not rocket science.

^^^ “male” rather.

R123 What's the worry, since men are incapable of entering the ladies' room anyway? Geezus, what a dumbass.

As a male who never considered being anything but, I have a whole lot of trouble wrapping my mind about what transgender people go through. I was raised in a world where "he-she's" were a joke, one which extended to those of us who are homosexual. I think that if I wanted to live as a woman, I would refrain from it simply because of the complications that it would bring to my life, in the same way I refrained from expressing my own sexual orientation for too long.

I don't "get" being a transgendered person.

There are a lot of people who don't "get" me being me.

This thread has become more than just about Amy herself, but about a trans discussion, so here goes...

There seemed to be essentially two components to the phenomenon: dysphoria and autogynophilia. The first is a case where the person feels their male biological reality is somehow not something they can handle, but in the long run it might be more expeditious for them to just go ahead and live as women as best they can.

Unfortunately, there are also the autogynephilia people. These are the folks with "female" penises (shenis), who feel they should run around having their cake and eating it, too: sexual males, with a female public identity.

Getting back on topic to this specific thread, Amy doesn't seem to share the latter group's general homophobia, though sadly it's possible for such folks to be same-sex identified, and contemptuous of gay men at the same time.

[quote]The Amy Schneider's of the world aren't diminishing or taking anything away from anyone.

R113 Yes they are. They're diminishing and taking away from common sense and biology, as illustrated by your "biological woman" label. Schneider can pretend all he wants that he's a woman or an aardvark for that matter. It doesn't make him one nor does it or should it compel anyone to play along with his delusion.

^THIS^

It doesn't matter how many feathers you shove up your ass, you're still not going to be a chicken 🐓

That's a man, baby.

While I'm on the side on several issues of so called TERFs. On this one, this ain't it.

r98, Datalounge isn't a tranny hug box. ACCEPT THAT! One of the MANY reasons why I can't stand you people is because of your toxic level of entitlement. No one is allowed to have a space for themselves without you invading like roaches and demanding everyone cater to you -- look at your comment for an example of this. This is a [bold]GAY[bold] for same-sex attracted males. We are not obligated to give you entitled assholes head pats and tell you how stunning and brave you are for living out your fetish in public. If you don't like it, fuck off back to reddit and twitter with the rest of the trans parasites destroying this community!

r106 it falls in line with the tranny mantra of "I say it, therefore it's true"

r108, it's even MORE progressive to label this clearly biological male a lesbian for being in a relationship with a female. Trans' 'hearts not parts' propaganda totally doesn't negatively impact gays/lesbians by making a mockery of same-sex attraction and embody what's essential a progressive form of conversion therapy/corrective rape.

I'll take Historic Hysterical Cunts for 400...

Think she's chopped it?

^None of then do.

Woot! Woot!

[quote]Yeah I don't get this either. Trans women love wearing pearls. Meanwhile, I don't know a single woman under 55 who has ever worn pearls with a dress. It's something, to me, that makes trans women stand out from their cis gendered peers. It definitely is a tell, unless pearls come back into style in the near future.

They tried to bring back the twinset-and-pearls in the late 90s for officewear but it really didn’t really take. It SCREAMED granny. The only women I have seen dress like that are Conservative political interns in DC and then only at work, not at a cocktail bar or any time when evening attire is demanded.

I don’t have a problem with trannies. I think they have a bigger problem with PR and extremism than the rest of us in the alphabet tribe. For those who doubt me, take a drive over to the Shakesville blog to see how the “cisgenders” are received. Btw. Does anyone else think that large Marge looks like Ken Star? Maybe it’s the chins and tasteful pearls.

T-Gal with Pearls

The academic Gender Studies Professor look

Ironically, R139, if your guy were a gay male in a suit I'd probably find him hot. Definite dude-in-a-dress that isn't fooling anyone.

9 Days and $342,000 and going! Way to go Amy!

That's a man, baby.

Austin Powers is a TERF!

no, that's a woman, r143. Some of you can be so fucking ignorant. Surprised that gay men can be just as stupid and ignorant as straight guys.

Exactly, R145. Just like I don’t see color, I don’t see gender.

A man in a dress.

R145 Fuck off, cunt. Unless you were biologically born with a cunt you are a man!

She creeps me out, but I have to admit she knows her shit.

I’m so happy! Amy just won again! (November 30) And she was way down to that bitch in red in the middle, but came back with a strategic daily double win. I’ve never cheered for a trans person before; I’m softening!

Decided to block the guy from Flyover Country where they show the program at lunchtime, who can't wait until later, but delights in spoiling everything instead.

Amy Schneider has won $380,200 for 10 days. She almost lost everything to a pretty brunette who rattled her a bit.

R152 - it was a great game! It was very close, and if Amy hadn’t won that Daily Double, it would have been over for her. That “pretty brunette” seemed like a total bitch.

So... there are chicks into the shenis, apparently?

R154 - yes apparently. Amy mentioned her “girlfriend” back home and how the string of pearls she wears reminds her of that woman. Creepy I know, but I’m cheering for Amy. She’s damn smart.

Didn't she say her pearls were her mothers? I thought, 'yea, Mom didn't want them either'.

I thought they were her girlfriend's mother's pearls?

Hmmm. I thought she said they were from her girlfriend who had a daughter named Pearl.

Was that Pearl Bailey? No, I don't think she was a tranny.

[quote] So... there are chicks into the shenis, apparently?

Yeah, straight women. They love penis.

Do they love being in public gay relationships?

To them it’s not a gay relationship. They just see it as dating a man and getting fucked by a man and sucking his cock. Some men have long hair like Jared Leto.

I think she looks like perfecting casting for Mary MacGregor in a community theatre production of “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.”

I noticed that she didn't put in a lot of effort in last night's episode despite winning.

Saw her tonight. She wore a pearl choker that would have been matinee length on a woman without as much girth! I don't know how tall she is but she is substantial!

Wait . . . so Amy's in a straight relationship with a woman?

^^^ Good heavens, I don't know. Do we need another letter on our alphabet gender to accommodate?

Got to give it to Amy--very smart

It's an outwardly gay relationship, R166, no matter the particulars. I'm beginning to wonder if the girlfriend is also trans, since they often up with each other.

Is the GF also a “husky gal?” I wonder if they share those pearls?

[quote] I'm beginning to wonder if the girlfriend is also trans, since they often up with each other.

No, trans don’t date each other. They’re repulsed by trans. It’s more affirming to date cis.

[quote] It's an outwardly gay relationship, [R166], no matter the particulars.

Uh, outwardly? No. Outwardly it looks like a man in a dress dating a woman.

R165, Amy has the neck of a prizefighter.

I like her a lot. And I'm a bitter old queen that doesn't cut anybody any slack.

I hope she wins so much that Jeopardy has no choice but to offer her occasional hosting duties.

At least she’ll be prettier than Mayim B. Alec.

R171 Lesbian couples where both women are trans do exist. Caitlyn Jenner was at one point dating a woman who was also trans.

Sorry, R176, they are not lesbian couples. They are gay male couples.

I'm getting as tired of him as I did Matt Immodium. Time for him to lose and move on.

"We are two ladies doing lady things…”

R176 Two men in dresses, pearls and makeup are not women. They are two men presenting as a parody of women. If they are dating, they are two gay men, not lesbians.

He is from Dayton Ohio....Not exactly upscale. But of course The Advocate is brown nosing Arty as inspiring. This is why they hate us.

R152, he wouldn't have "lost everything." He'd have kept all his previous days' winnings if he'd lost to that contestant.

I love watching this guy. I hope he wins a million dollars! It’s making the general public see that not all trans are looney toons like Caitlin.

On the day the champ finally loses, does that person get their final winnings for the day added to what they came in with towards their total amount, or the fixed second/third amount?

R184 - Good question, but yes, they keep their previous winnings.

R184, they get the fixed second or third amount on the day they lose plus everything they won prior.

Amy looked lovely, tonight! A pink blush blazer with black a-frame blouse carefully embellished someones mother ever present pearls.

Her comportment is flawless; her knowledge is deep; she is a worthy champion.

I'm glad she didn't lose to tonight's vocal fryer. I wouldn't have minded if the handsome lawyer had won, of course.

R189, The lawyer was dreamy.

I just wish she'd shave more closely.

I wish she'd shave more frequently, after each episode, say.

T is for .. lol

R181 you're a fucking idiot just like every other moron who says dumb fucking shit like this is why they hate us. They hate you because you're a faggot. That's it. Not because if some perceived clownish act by a buffoon so fuck off.

Amy is the winningest woman in the history of Jeopardy regular season play now.

That’s a man, baby.

R110, Yes. Someone on a Jeopardy fan board wrote that Amy Schneider is the female version of, I don't remember, James or Ken Jennings or some other male champion, because Amy set some record for a female contestant.

Think of the utter absurdity of that comment. And it was made unironically.

I am shocked by the deliberate cognitive dissonance society is simply supposed to adopt regarding these males.

Miss Nevada in the recent Miss USA pageant was a transgender. Miss. Nevada.

Men who want to not simply be regarded as female, but who must enter competitions to prevail over and/or set records beyond the achievements of actual females are the phobic ones.

Gynephobic.

[comment] Miss Nevada in the recent Miss USA pageant was a transgender. Miss. Nevada.

What does that say about Nevada that a (former) man won the Miss Nevada USA pageant? Nevada ain't got no purty women?

If he continues winning on Jeopardy he could be the 2nd ever millionaire tranny, the first being Bruce Jenner of course.

Strangely, and I say strangely because normally I am an absolute cunt, I have great admiration for Amy and what she has achieved.

Putting politics, etc. aside, she seems like a really nice person - the type who enjoys writing thank you notes. I'd fully expect her to issue an enthusiastic congratulations to whomever defeats her.

Amy has style. Not beauty, but knowledge and style.

^^^ Misappropriated style.

Stolen female valor.

Miss Nevada may be trans,but she is spectacularly beautiful . If I could have looked like her at that age Id have been trans too. I cant imagine all the hot dick that gets thrown her way . Id keep my pecker though.

So, if there’s any trans here, maybe you can answer this question. How does the sex act work? If she still has a penis and balls, is she the “top” with her girlfriend? Or does the girlfriend put a strap on and do her? I’m just so confused. I apologize for the non politically correct question, I’m just curious as to the mechanics.

Of course they don’t use a strap on. Why would they need to when they have the original equipment? Stripped of their genderized clothing, they are just a naked man and women having sex.

^Exactly. We oldsters used to call them transvestites. They were never considered to BE women. Just men in a dresses, earrings and makeup. Does anyone even use that word anymore? Or is it literal violence?

[quote]I'd fully expect her to issue an enthusiastic congratulations to [bold]whomever[/bold] defeats her.

Oh, dear!

Amy's off for two weeks for the Professors Tournament.

Will she return with a makeover?

For a show that's strictly about knowledge, WTH is relevant about mentioning ANYTHING WHATSOEVER about a contestant's gender?

Are we now going to note the Most Wins by a Black Man? Most Wins by a Little Person? Most Wins by an Orphan?

My point is not that Amy is a female, because there's a small thing called reality.

My point is rather that "Jeopardy!" ought not to care about, let alone mention or even promote---especially promote---such "Emperor's New Dress" nonsense (literal).

Schneider wears a pin self identifying as a transgender.

Still not a woman.

I’m so mad!!! Amy’s not on today. But Mayam Bialek is back and she’s better than Ken Jennings.

The small brown contestant is kinda hot. Something tells me he’s be a grateful bottom.

Amy’s back today!!!!!! I’ve never wanted to see a tranny so bad.

She’s definitely my favorite trans.

Omg in her intro today (12/20) she told a story about a boy eventually becoming a beautiful princess, and said that’s her story too!

Amy won again!!!! Total $571,200. Wow! She won final jeopardy with a clue about Lois Lane.

Why are you such a cunt? F&Fed.

I'm tired of him already.

Amy started this Christmas week off good with another win!

Is she still wearing her pearls? No graduation to jewels in sight?

Yes still wearing the classic string of pearls. Trannies should be happy; she’s the first good representation they’ve had.

I don't mind that Amy is transgendered. I'm tired of the same person winning constantly. I hated James after a while, and I hardly watched the superwinner who came after him. They should go back to limiting players to five consecutive wins.

One thing I have come to realize, however, is that I prefer Ken Jennings for the simple reason that his wardrobe choices do not call attention to themselves the way Mayim's do. He may be Howdy Doody's grandson, but he keeps my attention on the game.

Why, r217? One of my daily tiny pleasures (I live alone) is reading and trying to solve the FJ question on a Recaps website.

And as a major fan, reader, and collector of Lois Lane comics---I have #18-#77, inclusive, among others---you bummed me out, man.

R224 - I’m sorry man! And that’s cool about the FJ questions. I was directing my anger towards the bitch that called me out for posting last time she won, because the show hadn’t aired in his time zone yet, and I spoiled it for him. No shade directed at you.

R224

Thanks for spoiling tonight's game by not waiting until 8PM eastern when most of America has seen the show.

If they make a new biography of Agatha Christie, Amy can play her. The likeness is uncanny.

I have a question.

What is this person's "dead" name?

Is this person the late Romy Schneider's daughter?

Romy had a big jawline.

[quote] Omg in her intro today (12/20) she told a story about a boy eventually becoming a beautiful princess, and said that’s her story too!

She said she has a tattoo of Ozma, the Princess of Oz, who was born a girl but transformed into a boy by one of the wicked witches, and the later transformed back into her rightful female form by a good witch.

She seems quite rational and does not appear to be one to make spectacle of herself; not something that can be said of so many of the trans community. Therefor I like and respect her.

[quote] Thanks for spoiling tonight's game by not waiting until 8PM eastern when most of America has seen the show.

Most of America would not have seen the show at 8PM eastern. It wouldn’t even have aired yet in the Central, Mountain, and West Coast zones.

It’s not going to air on the west coast for another 1 and a half hour.

Again, Amy wins, and has a total of over $500k in winnings.

Your easily blocked r216, r217, and r234.

Amy won again today!!!!!! I really am starting to like her.

WHET to that sexy military pilot who became the first multi-episode champion? From the seventies or eighties…

She looked very pretty in a hot pink blazer. String of pearls ever present.

^^^ Navy skirt and tasteful shoes as well, I'm sure.

When they announced tonight’s category, women with three names, I was hoping the answer would be Amy Farrah Fowler.

I do wish Amy would take some fashion advice, from anyone. Tonight's dull, grey V-neck frock didn't even flatter the potatoes that used to be in it.

Yes, like grandma's nightshirt.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

As I mentioned before, I think it's a lot better than the usual dolled-up Tran dudes.

She dresses demurely and appears to have a low-key and considered comportment. I think she's perfect as is, even the frumpy clothes suit her, she's not a youngster anymore.

He. He's a he, not a she.

Haha I thought Datalounge would meltdown following that Ozma story.

Hpw old would we say Amy is?

I also love his style and choice of clothing; very appropriate for a man of his age, I’m guessing 54.

I'm going to say Amy is roughly 50?

All about Amy at 37!

[quote] I think she's perfect as is, even the frumpy clothes suit her, she's not a youngster

The delusional, pandering to the delusional and their delusions.

^^^^ Merry Christmas to you too! Are you expecting Santa this year?

Why does he wear beads all the time?

They are pearls, and they’re perfect.

[quote]Merry Christmas to you too! Are you expecting Santa this year?

R252 Yet more inconsiderate pandering to the delusional and their delusions. No surprise.

I wonder what went into the inspiration and process of recruiting a trans contestant. Don't tell me they didn't carefully plan this and the affirmative action recruit. Whose had was at work here?

Game show contestant selection is all about quotas these days; however, could they have known she'd win for sure on her first day?

Um, R257, your naivete is so sweet it warms my heart - and terrifies me at the same time.

They fucking recruited him and made sure he looked as "safe" and "normal" as possible. This is called grooming - of us, not him. Normalization. Like they're trying to do with the MAPs.

[quote]could they have known she'd win for sure on her first day?

I guess R257 is unfamiliar with the film "Quiz Show" or the various game show cheating scandals. As R258 asserted, Schneider is there for a reason.

'Schneider', I wonder if she's German?

Fucking hell, Amy is 37? She looks 60.

I wish she'd step out from behind her podium and do a cat-walk twirl for us.

37? That's not sad, but tragic.

On a past show, Amy mentioned a "former brother-in-law".

We need clarification.

"Amy has publically come out as a trans person and went through sex alteration surgery to become a naturalized woman. She previously recognized herself as a male and was married to Kelly Anneken in 2004. She got divorced in 2016 after she started recognizing herself as a female and separated from her partner to go through the process. Amy moved to Oakland, California after her marriage and has been settled there ever since. She has always suffered a lot of hate and bullying during her college and school years where she was often labeled and called a trans person even though she has a male appearance due to which she suffered from a lack of confidence."

[quote] —So, she did whack it off!

or lop it off.

The penis was eviscerated and incinerated.

[quote]Amy has publically come out as a trans person and went through sex alteration surgery to become a naturalized woman

"Naturalized woman" - a man who lopes off his dick and balls.

Erratum R268 lops, not lopes

R263 A 37 year old tacky bitch. She must buy everything at Talbots.

I am awed by the breadth of 'her' knowledge, but she still creeps me out.

Well, her father was a librarian and she used to be beat up after school. Gee, I wonder where I would spend my time to become a Jeopardy champ.

Those pearls fell off a Walmart truck.

R273 - I’ll beg your pardon. That string of pearls were ordered from the back page of “Parade Magazine,” with the convenient 90 day zero interest payment plan. However now that Amy has won over a half million dollars, she’ll be upgrading to the ones she saw at Zales last month.

She's a serve!

[quote] Amy has publically come out as a trans person and went through sex alteration surgery to become a naturalized woman

Naturalized woman - this is a new one. LOL! Is this like a naturalized citizen? As in a real citizen just via a different process. This will start popping up in their legal briefs and press release now.

Maybe that means she chopped off her cock and, maybe it just means feminization surgery. It's not very specific is it - wiggle room there. And, sorry, but the trans communities lies all the time about every topic under the sun and under their clothes.

Are we to take from this that he was an effeminate little gay boy who got bullied so he wanted to live as a woman? That was his solution?

Can't wait until the XXX rated pics come out in bondage gear.

A therapist once said that sometimes it's just easier to have seriously dysmorphic individuals trans, rather than therapy to which they are opposed/resistent. He must have been a very fem boy back in the day. Frankly, it's the older "shenis" crowd that an issue.

So much hatred for Amy, and all just because she went much farther than any DL stinkfish ever could with their female brains!!

^^^ Hatred? Oh my dear, this is DL envy! We hide it well.

It's hard to find rye flour. Will wheat suffice?

Turns out my new husband is a Jeopardy loser. Was almost rooting for him to beat Amy because I want to see more of him. He is gorgeous.

R281, Teeth?

Did he have his DNA altered? Because he can amputate and mutilate whatever he wants, but if the Y chromosome is still present, he is no "naturalized woman."

Filth much like water seeks it's own level. Have a blessed Christmas and remember the reason for the season.

R282 Yes, that is a bad pic that shadows his mouth. Just watch the episode. He is a bit awkward but cute with a soft sexy voice too.

I've noticed every time Amy gets a Daily Double even for a question at $1000 or $2000, the question is invariably very easy. Though as I've been noting this, yesterday she had two much harder Daily Double questions and she only bet $2000 rather than her usual $4000. There is some fiddling going on.

R285, Your dreamboat gave some incredibly stupid responses.

When choosing the category Homophonic Pairs, he began to say Homophobic Pairs.

The one thing that is really inteesting about TERFs is their rampant paranoia

TERF usage says something about the speaker - intolerance.

I didn’t need all the bathtub info today from Amy, or from anyone for that matter.

Does she have a cock?

So sick of tuning in just to see this pearl-bedecked guy win again. The show should eliminate contestants after 5 days of winning.

Ken should ask the question on the tongue of every Jeopardy! viewer.

Amy, do you still have your penis?

Trust the science....except when it comes to biological reality.

She's had the chop (as they say), R291. Unlike autogynes and their "shenises" the champ suffered severe dysmorphia.

She talked about her girlfriend last night. So she is a transgender Lesbian?

Ewwww.

I thought Amy poked her girlfriend and they now share a baby, who will need lots of therapy in ten years.

Once again, Amy needs fashion design direction. Grey zipper sweatshirts do nothing for her figure. Although, it does cover her pearls.

Put her on the cover of Vogue. Make it happen, Anna!

Dear Amy is beaming like Mary Sunshine, tonight. She's lovely in her pink blush blazer, ivory silk blouse and ever present pearls.

Gee, Ms. Schneider, you wear those pearls like a champ!

[quote] Dear Amy is beaming like Mary Sunshine, tonight. She's lovely in her pink blush blazer, ivory silk blouse and ever present pearls.

Gorgeous.

R259, The "Jeopardy!" board is timed electronically not to activate the contestants' buzzers until two red lights, not visible to home viewers, on either side of the board, go on.

That is why you never see a contestant buzz in before the host finishes reading the "answer." The red lights don't go on until the host finishes.

Board Answer Clue-->Red Lights-->Buzzer-->Contestant Question.

Unless the buzzers of the other participants are tampered with (to not work; to be on a delay), there is no way Amy could be guaranteed a shot, let alone a victory.

Even were Amy to be given the FJ response, her prior total of money could not have been assured.

Unless the show is taking the extraordinary chance at scandal and ruination by bribing all the opponents to go along with the scheme.

I'm not naive, r259, but neither do I believe in this particular conspiracy theory.

People never think they will be caught.

That is one UGLY bitch!!

I watched Amy on Jeopardy with my conservative, 80+ year old in-laws while visiting them over the holidays. They clearly had no idea she was trans. I kept thinking I could blow their minds by telling them, but I decided I didn't want to be responsible for two heart attacks.

Lol r306.

Did they think that she was just a VERY ugly woman??

I'm having trouble grasping that she's only 37? My guess would be easily a decade or two more had I not been aware of that.

Poor thing.

No matter how much money HE wins, HE will never be a woman.

She definitely looks menopausal. I wonder what she looked like before she transitioned. She's butt ugly now.

Amy looks lovely tonight in her seaweed green jumper and, ever present, pearls.

Robbed

She was mugged in Oakland on New Year’s Eve. Women need to be careful out there on the streets, especially at night. Have a man walk you to your car. Do the buddy system. Carry mace in your purse.

[quote] She was mugged in Oakland on New Year’s Eve. Women need to be careful out there on the streets, especially at night. Have a man walk you to your car. Do the buddy system. Carry mace in your purse.

Rofl R313.

Trolling on two different threads!

Naughty, naughty.

I chuckled when one of the recent categories was Naturalized Woman because I'm certain a fair number of lunatics on Twitter had a fit about it.

Is she waving the transgendered flag for the reason that she was mugged?

No, he's not Juicy Smoulet.

Amy is now a sitting target for a home invasion.

She put up a picture of herself with her massive arms revealed with tattoos generally seen on sailors.

This guy will do anything for publicity. Where was his partner? I'm sick of him on Jeopardy and the wheels calling him a female. What a lie they keep promoting. It shows he is male.

Always with the pearls.

I thought she had an Ozma tattoo representing all the little boys who are really girls?

WTF is that? ^^^^^

Amy explained it recently on air...

The rightful princess of Oz was turned into a boy as an infant (boo!), later returned to being the girl she really was, gaining her right to rule Oz as a Princess. She is Amy's totem/saint/idol.

I was shocked by her bringing up Little League! I thought it was forbidden to refer to anything prior to their living as women?

Haha, she didn't get the 'pinky-promise' answer because he wasn't a 'little girl once'; she was a boy when little girls made 'pinky-promises'.

I had always heard the expression as pinky-swear so never heard of promises. He was a boy in little league at the time as we learned today.

I wonder if she was bald when she was a man and before getting hormones.

well, I'm quite sure she was balled when she was a man, although they might be gone now!

One day I wish I could get to the end of the TERF paranoia rabbithole to see who the master villain is. So 'Jeopardy' is fixing the game for this person as part of a conspiracy to 'normalise' being transgender. To what end? Who benefits?

I do think too it's interesting that a trans person is attracting this much hate on a thread about a quiz show. She's not attempting to enter any kind of all-female space or take opportunities reserved for women, and has never attempted to speak on behalf of all women. But I thought that's all the TERFS cared about? All she's done is answer quiz questions, and has done very well at it. Yet the hatred she's getting here tells us that for most on this thread, claiming transgender identity or presenting as transgender in any context is never acceptable. Frankly, if the loudest anti-trans voices in the discourse were just honest about that, I might respect them more.

Signing this post even though I expect to get downvoted to fuck, bring it.

Good for her. Like R330 says, she's not taking anything away from natal-born women by being on Jeopardy. I don't understand the hate in this situation at all.

I don't hate her, r331. I'm just bored with Jeopardy now, as I was with James and Matt after about three weeks. Watching the losers get eaten up by these tornado players isn't fun. It has nothing to with Amy's gender.

R197 I loved what you wrote.

R313,Males don't think that way.

R333, Thank you.

[quote] Good for her. Like [R330] says, she's not taking anything away from natal-born women by being on Jeopardy. I don't understand the hate in this situation at all.

But she is taking away something from women: all the records that were smashed. She now holds the record for Woman with the Most Wins, Woman with the Most Money Won, Woman with the Most Daily Doubles, Woman with the Fastest Buzzer Time, and countless others. And like Lia Thomas, other women are not going to able to beat these records.

R335, are you saying women aren't as smart as men? They "are not going to be able to beat these records"?

No woman has come close to the records of Ken Jennings, Brad, and James, so no, they wouldn’t be able to beat those records. The women have their own records, which is now beaten by Amy.

So nice of you to assume all future women will never be able to do that.

r328, "she" is still a man.

[quote] So nice of you to assume all future women will never be able to do that.

If they’re able to then why haven’t they even come halfway close to doing so in the 40 years the show’s been on?

And no black person came "halfway close" to being president for over 200 years. Then Obama.

Women play the game differently.

For all the smarts men think they have, they know practically nothing about women.

I'm shocked that my sorta conservative parents like her, they love Jeopardy and watch every day. I'm happy for Amy.

Here's what I don't understand, truly:

Why does a competition based on knowledge have ANY gender-separated-and-labeled records?

Libraries and bookstores are not sex-segregated, nor Google.

Children know this [See: Bee, National Spelling]. Why don't the producers of "Jeopardy!"?

R342, As a Frau who once was on the show may I say: No, women don't.

I wonder how they choose the contestants. The two who were on Friday were idiots. Shockingly so.

I wasn't aware there was a record for woman with the fastest buzzer time. Is there some kind of awards ceremony?

The Trumpers are going crazy over her on Breitbart...And Lia too.....TRANSMANIA they are calling it...And of course they are claiming TikTok is causing all of this...

Yes, it's all about the buzzer.

Jeopardy is a joke because of that. It's not at all about who is the smartest, it's about who can time the clicking of their buzzer.

[quote] And like Lia Thomas, other women are not going to able to beat these records.

So, you're saying all women are stupid? That even a man in a frock can beat them, but with no hope of real woman beating him/her?

[quote]That even a man in a frock can beat them, but with no hope of real woman beating him/her?

A man, in a frock or not, should NOT be competing as a woman or with women.

^^^^ should NOT has nothing to do with legal, dear.

I think they should create another category for Amy. Call it what it is ~ Highest Female Transgender Score. Then will everyone be happy?

Breitbart is losing their shit over Amy. And they are turning on Fox News for declaring Amy a woman!!....LINK...

[quote]should NOT has nothing to do with legal

R352 Yes it does. It should NOT be legal for a man, in a frock or not, to compete as a woman or with women. That it, a few instances, may be means that competition has degenerated into an irrelevant farce.

[quote]Call it what it is ~ Highest Female Transgender Score.

Call it what it is: Highest Man in a Dress Score or Highest Man Impersonating a Woman Score.

"it should NOT be legal for a man, in a frock or not, to compete as a woman or with women"

Welcome to The Handmaid's Tale, brought to you by DataLounge.

I'm wondering why women don't do better on Jeopardy. Maybe because there are always STEM questions and women don't do as well?

'It should be illegal for men to compete against women on quiz shows'?

I don't think even the Ayatollahs mandated that one.

....

Amy screwed up a very, very easy Daily Double today and the girl who was really good got an impossible Daily Double. The other day, after the fact, they credited Amy with an answer which had been judged wrong - and which was wrong. Somebody else only gave a last name as an answer and that was judged wrong. Just after Amy answered a question with only Huxley and that was OK despite the fact there was Julian Huxley as well as Aldous.

Like with Matt, they are definitely putting their thumb on the scale to ensure Amy succeeds. And frankly, most of her competitors are rank idiots. How are they chosen? There must be some advantage for Jeopardy in having these big winners - I suppose they attract more publicity to the show.

Will they ever feature a non-binary contestant?

211, And you're still not a human being. What's your point?

No, R70. You're being ignorant. He is no t a woman. He is a man. Womanhood is not a costume.

Here we go again, white men trying to force their redefinition of womanhood, based on superficiality and contrived stereotypes, onto women. Fuck off.

Any nudes?

I swear I've seen the beginnings of a mustache on the last couple of shows -- am I imagining it?

I agree with Concerned Eurpopean. For once.

I am dead against transwomen played bio sports. 100%. But this isn't that. This is just a damn good trivia player who just happens to be trans. It doesn't give or take any advantage. It just is. And while we all have problems with her styling, no one should have an issue with her being trans.

Of course, she is NOT a woman. Someone as smart as Amy should easily grasp that very basic elements of biology. She, is, however, a transwoman. And that's cool. More power to her.

I hope she keeps winning.

[quote]no one should have an issue with her being trans

Uh, we do. Stop saying "woman face" is okay. It isn't.

^^ signed "REAL women"

So a near Miss is now acceptable to Jeopardy judges?

r357 as I speculated in another thread: I wonder if it's because women are more risk-averse and less likely to buzz in, even if they think they know the right answer.

I've given up on Jeopardy. I guess Alex's death marked the end of a era. I seriously doubt he would have countenanced the nonsense they're playing now, apparently attempting to make a very popular show even more popular.

They are ruining it. Beginning with the clusterfuck of finding a new host that they STILL don't have.

I must admit having Amy on for so long, I wonder what else she has left to talk about. She seem a rather plain and boring personality. I keep waiting for Ken to screw up and ask pop the question.

I got fed up with Matt too and I detected with him - like with Amy - the rules were being bent to ensure they won. After the clusterfuck of Jeopardy's search for a new host, I'm guessing Matt and Amy were a producer's invention to change the subject. They seem to pick challengers by their mediocrity.

How will Amy top last night's riveting story of the time the cat got out on the window ledge?

I can see "Amy's" five o'cock shadow.

He has a moustache, too.

So many folks are still afraid to eat at a local restaurant it seems. You think perhaps the Jeopardy pool might slew that way enough that they're lucky to get any players onstage?

How big is Amy's cock?

She says she's had The Chop.

Well, Amy is now tied with James. I wonder how he likes that.

Actually, she beat him tonight.

Males and females compete equally as contestants on Jeopardy. Amy’s gender identity is irrelevant to the game. People wonder about her personal life, but it’s really no one’s business. She has referenced her girlfriend and since most M-to-F transgenders don’t surgically alter their genitals one might speculate how their sex life works, but if whatever they’re doing works for them no one else should have an opinion about it

I thought she is quoted as saying she has had her genitals re-assigned?

Another day, another massacre.

Why do the brass want Jeopardy cancelled? Keeping this wannabe drag queen with no personality on is doing just that. His neck is so fat and he is so homely with a voice to match.

I finally figured out that Amy looks like Gene Wilder in drag.

Yep, I see the resemblance.

Millionaire queen.

[quote] She says she's had The Chop.

No. Amy has not said that specifically. The Ts are notorious liars and obfuscators. What he said can be interpreted in many ways.

Let me cross examine Amy. I'll get at its reality.

And to the idiot who think men and women do not play the game differently, you know nothing about men or women.

R385 Jeopardy is not a beauty contest. Amy is smart, regardless of pronoun, and that is why she has accumulated so many wins. Why don't you kiss Amy's million dollar ass.

R389 I like how you tried to be gender neutral with two instances of "Amy" and one instance of "its", but you used "he" in your fourth sentence.

Reminds me of Wikipedia articles when someone has come out as non-binary and the editors try their best to avoid using "they" or "them". For example (and I'm paraphrasing here): Sam Smith is a successful singer. Sam was born in London and Sam wanted to be a singer from a young age".

R391, hey don't blame me for this crazy cockamamie word salad that THEY started.

[quote]Why don't you kiss Amy's million dollar ass.

Because they used most of it to create her mangina.

I swear if Amy Schneider was one of those trans women that looked like a Victoria's Secret model she'd be the biggest story of the century.... it's because she's butt ugly and mannish looking that's the real reason why she's attacked as being a dude in a dress.

R394 Amy's a goddess compared to Admiral Rachel Levine!

Eh -- I think they're pretty comparable in "beauty."

Mr. Schneider is a KING!

DOMINATING the REAL MEN and REAL WOMEN.

[quote] I am dead against transwomen played bio sports. 100%. But this isn't that. This is just a damn good trivia player who just happens to be trans. It doesn't give or take any advantage. It just is. And while we all have problems with her styling, no one should have an issue with her being trans.

No one is having an issue with her being trans. Good for her for winning all that money. The thing people are having an issue with is the women’s records that she’s broken. Newspapers are saying she’s the first female to play this many games, first female to win this much money, and all the other female records she’s broken.

They should say she’s the first trans to break these records. The other women still hold their women’s records and they have not been broken. Just like Lia Thomas should be breaking trans records, not women’s records.

I'm the person you quoted R398.

I totally agree. She should be the first transperson to win such and such amount. Not the first woman.

I thought the second part of my post was clear that I don't think (well, it doesn't really matter what I think, it's what science thinks) transwomen are women.

[quote] it's because she's butt ugly and mannish looking that's the real reason why she's attacked as being a dude in a dress.

No, I think DL does very well at attacking ANY man/former man in a dress, ruthlessly.

^^^^ She's got that right!

Amy has a sister!

I think he's tremendous!

Neither, r398 and r399. There should be no "Jeopardy!" records by gender.

Sports records kept by gender acknowledge---or once did---the physical diffences between males and females, generally.

There are no such known differences of genders involving the mind. Prodigies and geniuses are in both sexes. An IQ of 150 in a boy is the same IQ of 150 in a girl, from the same standardized test.

My argument thus is: Keep a record of winning numbers and winning money totals, but make it generic: "Top 'Jeopardy!' Player: Games Won," and "Top 'Jeopardy!' Player: Money Won."

"physical differences" (r404)

Well, I wonder if anyone on Jeopardy has taken notice of our concerns. We cannot be the only ones with these thoughts, can we?

R404, you realize Jeopardy is not keeping official records, right? Whether you think anyone should keep records doesn’t matter. People will always unofficially say who is the first person to achieve this. Halle Berry is the first black woman to win Best Actress, Chloe Zhao is the first Asian woman to win Best Director. Amy Schneider is the first woman to win $1 million on Jeopardy.

You got two out of three right, R407.

Has anyone heard from Mike Richards lately? lol

Jorge was cute.

^^^ Who?

Watching "her" win day after day is really getting boring...

R412 what we noticed a couple of days ago is when there is some super easy answer which anybody would know, she always gets the question. Are the people she's competing against idiots? Makes no sense. I still think there's a fiddle.

I'm sure Amy is nice but I'm bored of watching her.

In fact, after all the nonsense drama with Le Var, Mike Richards and finding a host, plus Matt and Amy, and most of all, the loss of Alex, I just don't find Jeopardy is must-see TV anymore.

The show's heart died with Alex.

(Yes, that warrants a "Mary!!" but it's true).

I think covid has narrowed the pool enough that an above average person like Amy can hang on a lot longer.

Amy is great in the general game, but it really surprises me how often she doesn't know Final Jeopardy/bets poorly.

Her strong suit is word games and sports - baseball, football, etc. Hardly feminine interests.

R407, Did or did not the show announce Amy's accomplishment as "Most for a woman"?

If not, and it's been in the media, that's bad, but not awful. If it's just being bandied about on Internet sites, then best to ignore.

R417, Your theory about "feminine interests" was demolished back in 1955 when Dr. Joyce Brothers won "The $64,000 Question" with the topic of boxing. (She later was cleared of any cheating, per the Van Doren scandal.)

And I, a Frau, excel in word games. I am r-302 in the Wordle thread.

Amy nods her head a lot when she's correct.

Is Amy still going??

Watched yesterday. There is a pattern. Amy answers all the shit easy questions - questions anybody could answer. The other 2 playing - whoever they are - never answer the easy questions which they must all know the answers to. Amy also starts out answering the $200 questions. Matt always started by picking off the $1000 questions. And frequently Amy doesn't know the answers to medium difficult questions. Are the competing players chosen according to how dumb they are or what?

[quote] Amy nods her head a lot when she's correct.

r419 I have notice it, as well. I was wondering if it was a tic, but decided it was a gesture of repect, as in saying 'thank you'.

I do wish Della was here, she knows all the etiquette answers.

I'm thinking along your lines, R421.

I don't understand why they even have gendered categories for quiz shows like this. Who cares if someone's the top scoring male or female when there's no physicality to a quiz where only your brain power counts?

And if you honestly do care, then I want your stress free life.

As for Amy always guessing the answers to the easiest questions.....I would assume that she's experienced enough and confident enough to press the buzzer on those before the question is even read. The new players don't have that chutzpah.

Somehow, she also always seems to land on all the Daily Doubles which gains her so much more money to bet with for Final Jeopardy.

I love her but I'm dying to see her defeated already!!

Having followed both Matt and Amy, she is NOT in his category at all. His knowledge was astonishing. She gets all the easy answers and does well on word games and professional sports and TV shows.

I've been watching every day hoping I see whoever gets to take "her" down.

Maybe tonight's the night.

Op don't you know there is no such thing as a transgender woman? Check his DNA, he was born a dude and will die a dude.

AMY SCHNEIDER IS DEAD TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess that means, she lost?

I like Janice.

Check Wikipedia for the latest.

I wasn't paying that close attention (I was on the phone, assuming Amy would win again), but Rhone seemed gay to me. Just sayin'.

Agatha Christie lookalike Amy lost to a gay librarian from Chicago named Rhone!!!

Well now, the trannie handed the throne to the gay boy. History is made in Jeopardy.

We are all so proud!

Isn't he special!

I for one am happy a gay man did it.

It seems to be a pattern. Someone wins an inordinately large number of competitions, and then they lose. I kind of think the inordinately large number of wins is meaningful.

Amy has mentioned her girlfriend. Of course, her girlfriend may also be a transgender. It’s nobody’s business but the Turks, but I’m just throwing it out there.

The guy who beat her wasn't even that good like the guy who beat Matt. Though Matt threw in the towel. He threw the last game. He seemed to be fed up. Amy kept pushing but she fucked up the last question and bet too much for fear the guy who knew the right answer would overtake her.

I still can't believe a conservatively dressed woman was beaten by a gay hipster librarian with atrocious lime green glasses.

Because attire determines whether you win or lose?

R440: I didn't think Jonathan would stick around long after beating Matt; yet, we'll be seeing him at the T o C along with Matt and Amy.

I hope Amy beats Matt's ass in ToC. Literally.

So no one from the show told the homo guy that those glasses are unacceptable?

Amy is NOT in Matt's class. Amy used to answer all the super easy questions which inexplicably nobody else knew. I always thought Amy was getting pushed by Jeopardy and they were pitting her against the dumbest contestants they could find. She was good at word games, sports, TV shows and surprisingly ignorant of plenty of other fields.

Her career stats on Jeopardy are 1337 correct answers, 77 incorrect. I'd say she was good in many fields.

I loved Amy, however was thrilled to see someone beat her. And this guy is perfect to do so. A lot are saying she "threw" the win, because how could she not know Bangladesh? However, she had missed some "easy" final Jeopardy questions before. I'm just glad I was able to catch the show yesterday. If anyone is on Twitter, both contestants share a ton on there and it's fun to read.

So that queer who beat Amy only lasted a day.

And just like that.

The woman who won started off badly but then she hit her stride. I had thought the cute guy in the middle would win but he folded.

The guy in the middle was an unkempt mess.

Amy gave a cheerful interview to the NYTimes saying how happy she was to see she was so pretty on TV! FFS

Rofl!

She said she has a girlfriend named Genevieve. Is she a trans too....or a lesbian....or what?

eeeeeuch, she lost to that.

You mean, she looks worse in person?

[quote] She said she has a girlfriend named Genevieve. Is she a trans too....or a lesbian....or what?

She was his girlfriend before the transition so she just stayed and put up with it like a lot of wives put up with their husband’s hobbies. You think women like their husbands playing poker, fishing, and drinking beer all day? But you have to sacrifice to make the relationship work.

Told ya. Women play differently. Glad she was able to catch on to what she needed to do.

My mom was shocked when I told her Amy is only 43, R457.

Damn he made me quit watching Jeopardy, loved when i read in Daily Mail he lost. Hope just maybe the show can get back on track instead of agenda driven.

Amy just won The Tournament of Champions tonight. She wasn't my favorite to win it, but I was happy for her anyway. Amy's an extremely smart and skilled player and the victory was well-deserved.
