I've thought about Poland as a response to that clue at least once a day ever since the episode aired

I wish Alex had handed the guy a marker and a pad of paper and made him draw his insane noneuclidean mental image of europe

Yeah, that was pretty bad. At least Estonia doesn’t actually border Germany on land but is still on the Black Sea and all that. Poland though. Maybe he misread the clue, but that’s me being generous.

Yeah, I think he might just be super nervous/Texan; by all accounts he's pretty nice and seems like a normal/likeable dude in the contestant groups. But every time he puts his arms up on that podium and turns himself into a weird square I want to punch him.

Three man teams, with one team member playing each round (Single Jeopardy, Double, and Final), two games each. Best total score wins. Apparently, they’re playing two games with 3 teams over 3 episodes from Wednesday on (first day is only the first round and I’m assuming contestant interviews, second day is Double and Final, third day is the second game), then another two game with the other 3 teams next week, then a two day wild card match and finals on Monday and Tuesday the week after in March. I think the Jeopardy FB page had a calendar, lemme find it.

The first episode of the first two matches is only single jeopardy? That's gonna be worse than Deal or No Deal.

The only contestant I dread coming back is Matt. He's probably a really nice guy but I can't stand him; he can't get in front of the camera for more than a minute or two before annoying the hell out of me.

I can see why people think Austin is cocky, but he honestly doesn't bother me.

It’s both a great tournament and not. Great because it really feels like the stakes are real and I’m watching like a sports playoff tournament.

Not great because one round and day definitely sucks. I like everyone and somewhat enjoy all the background, but really I just want more rounds of people fighting it out on jeopardy.

Also, I get they have split rounds , but it’s kind of lame that one player from each team has to do final jeopardy, and literally just be lucky enough to know their answer for one goddamn question.

They should have just had them rotate mid round every 5 questions like when they do the pregame warm ups. I think that could have been more fun.

Boot the sixth place team, according to Trebek’s explanation of the tournament format at the beginning of that last episode.

Ugh, a commercial break right after the contestant stories is killing me.
