used to be the college tourney champ got a spot in the ToC, but they stopped that... what, 10- 15 years ago.

nowadays being on once in any circumstance is enough to rule one as ineligible. don't know how that applies to that kids-only version gsn ran years ago.

The college champion still gets a TOC spot.

I'm pretty sure the winner from the Teachers Tournament also has a spot.

Brad Rutter, who as much as it pains me to say it, is probably better at Jeopardy than Ken Jennings.

Looks like Brad's original run was back when they wouldn't let you win more than 5 times.

Still, he never got two true daily doubles in a row like my homeboy Roger Craig.

does anyone actually like the college / teen / kids tournaments

no. they're not as good as the regular show.

why do they make the fans suffer through these gimmicks

As bad as the college / kids poo poo is id still rather watch that than loving Power Players week. At least the kids can finish a board. I dont think ive ever seen those political/media shitheads ever end with less than a full category untouched. Also their jokes when they get stuff wrong is painful

POLICE GLOSSARY ($400) As a verb, it’s to steal a small item; as a noun, it’s slang for a police informant

the answer they want is snitch

I think that's the usage that the Golden Snitch in Harry Potter was named for, but it's definitely an obscure definition

And they're hypocrites! Kevin O'Leary, famed for his free-market, no-handouts approach was happy to take a free Final Jeopardy after being too awful to merit one.

I do not understand the thinking behind these Finals bets. When you KNOW you aren't going to win the game and are thus reliant on getting a wild card slot BET IT ALL. What do you have to lose?

I guess they'd rather bet smaller and hope they get Final right and make it high enough for a Wild Card slot that bet it all and blow it and not make the Wild Card. Remember, the quarterfinalists have no idea how the other games went, since unlike regular games, they're sequestered in the Green Room when they aren't playing.
