Missed tonight's episode, but I take it that the Buzzy train still has no brakes? Man, seriously the hatedom for him is getting crazy huge and continues to grow. Some troll dude in the peanut gallery on Jeopardy's Facebook page even wished he get Crohn's Disease or get T-boned by a car before the Teachers Tournament and Power Players Week aired... Like, that's very oddly specific. Oh, and Vaughn Winchell (remember him from the last ToC?) called out Trebek a couple days ago phrasing the story about Buzzy's birth name during the contestant interview by asking him if he was "christened" that, I guess forgetting that Buzzy probably wasn't christened at all. And he wasn't, what with being Jewish and all. Most of us in the Jeopardy contestant group put it down to Alex being old grandpa Alex again. Prompted Jennifer Morrow to create a Hitler Downfall video reaction to the hatedom on the Jeopardy Contestant's group, then edit it and have someone post it on YouTube and the Jeopardy reddit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfrSLqu1rBw. Though, I guess she did say it was a bit strange editing a Hitler meme when she's Jewish herself, but it still works. Really sums up my thoughts on the whole thing. Maggie Speak, who really is a saint, gets a shoutout, and someone linked her it in an email. So does Pam Mueller (who is actually really nice). Also, apparently Andrew Pau (the music professor who was on a couple months ago, in case you forgot) got a letter to his college address from a convict (who apparently is serving a life sentence with no parole for a shooting at Case Western Reserve University in 2003, which would of course hit close to home for him, being a professor himself), asking for the addresses of other famous Jeopardy contestants and giving ideas on how to overhaul the current format of Jeopardy... I guess former champions (and other contestants that seem to attract the attention of the peanut gallery for whatever reason) get the weirdest sorts of fans with this kinda thing...

I think they tried to get him for the first season but couldn't make it work with his schedule, too, which means that it was like a year in the making.

"Mode"  He was thinking of Edna Mode, the parody of Edith Head in The Incredibles.

He was about one muscle spasm from vomiting after Final, so I think if he can get his nerves in order we should see at least one really strong performance out of him.

Ahhhhh some good old-fashioned category jumping to drive nerds crazy. I got today's final since I knew the Oxford/Cambridge boat race was really old and it seemed to make sense.

I should have gone with rowing. I said fencing, because it was the first thing that popped in my head, and the one time I decide to stick with my first instinct instead of switching to rowing, which was my more logical thought, I was wrong.

Colonial Air Force posted:"Sperm" was funnier. That was just about another "What is a hoe?" moment. Honestly my first thought was the same, but I immediately realized it had to be "blood" given both the fact that it's Jeopardy and the 40s year in the answer.

I like the idea of Javelin as a team sport. Each player has one javelin, the teams face each other...

Keep meaning to do so, especially around Fleet Week, but it never quite happens. Was sick the one time my elementary school class went there on a field trip too.

Vulture Culture posted:She would have won if the judges had (IMO) correctly scored "Kay's" as an incorrect answer Some people said as much on the Jeopardy Facebook page, but it's too late for them to do anything about it now. Stew had some pretty good luck with clues, especially that category on military aircraft at the Intrepid his first time around and then the Final clue yesterday, but I guess that's the luck of the draw. The Lieutenant's luck ran out today though. Oh well. My mind couldn't move away from St. Louis for this final, even though I knew it was named after the French king, and it didn't go to the other state capital in the Midwest named after a saint until the answer was revealed.

Not gonna lie... I guessed Cincinnati too... Cincinnatus was the first name that popped in my head, and I completely forgot my state capitols. Also, I don't know what a Zingbot is, but it sounds like Chucklebot from Achewood.

Man, so many clues left on the board during the Jeopardy round... Wanted to see the rest of the Japanese Cities category. Too bad for Anne, she never seemed to get going tonight, and it cost her. Tripped up on Final as well, thought it was Collins too. Should've known better and gone for Armstrong like the champ did... GhostStalker fucked around with this message at 21:29 on Jun 12, 2016 |

Oh hey, thread. Just wanted to say that I'm just about to drive from Chicago to Detroit to audition for the show today. I have followed the thread silently for a while and have done my homework on the audition process, so I feel like I'm well prepared. Here's hoping I don't choke and that I have a good time!

I think I did pretty well on the written test, decently well on the mock game, and really well on the interview. I had Glenn and Corinna, too, no Maggie. There were some real ... interesting ... folks there. And some super nice people who were awesome to chat with. Overall, it was a great experience and I'd do it again. Now I wait 18 months!
