I'm skipping watching tonight so I can watch the two games tomorrow and make one game. Just playing one round of Jeopardy is such a waste.

I honestly don't know what they expected. I really like the categories they've been running but I'm not sure how anyone could be familiar with Jeopardy and think that halving the gameplay per episode and vastly expanding the talk-to-the-contestants portion was going to go over well.

Abel Wingnut posted:jennings is just on another level It's ridiculous if they don't offer him the hosting gig but it'll mean no more special "drag Ken back to the soundstage" games. Remember when the conventional wisdom (including ITT) was that Matt Lauer would get the job?

Paul F. Tompkins apparently has said he'd be interested; I feel like he could do it but now all I'd ever be able to think about is Hollywoo Stars and Celebrities: What Do They Know? Do They Know Things? Let's Find Out.

Have you read the Jeopardy comments section on Facebook? Half the viewing audience is offended on any given night. I've seen people complaining that there are too many questions about Obama there. But yeah I'm totally on team Jennings for the next host.

A Fancy Hat posted:I thought Jennings said his twitter and overall sense of humor disqualified him because he'd offend a certain portion of the viewing audience. I don't know if he's said that himself, but it's probably true. Surely he could exercise some self-control and reel it back if he got the job, but there's still too much past stuff out there. The first week on the air would result in a lot of bad headlines and quoted tweets. I would think that's especially bad for a syndicated show that has to appease every network. Ken has the talent for sure, and I love the story of the Jeopardy prodigal son who won so many games they made him the host. I don't see it happening though.

Ken Jennings is legit more hilarious than most of professional comedians on Twitter. Plus his first Reddit AMA is a treasure trove of quotes.

So hey, I was right in thinking Team Colby wasn't out of the running. Especially with that super-weak finish from Team Austin today. Hard to imagine Team Ken won't dominate all the way to the finish, although they'll have to take Ken or Matt off the buzzer tomorrow.

For TV ratings, what’s going to happen is a final game with the following two: Ken vs Brad Rutter in one round. Matt vs Alex in the other round. Personally, I remember the Matt vs Alex tournament of champions final and I would love to see them go toe to toe again. That was a great game.

HookShot posted:Noooooo Julia RIP, I really thought they’d go further in this tournament. Propaniac posted:Hard to imagine Team Ken won't dominate all the way to the finish, although they'll have to take Ken or Matt off the buzzer tomorrow. Yeah, Monica gave them a slower start today but Ken picked up it immensely in Double, all but shouldering aside the others, though I guess Austin managed to put in some work too. Poor Julia. Really should’ve been able to come up with Final, and it was so obvious in hindsight. Still, looking at Roger Craig’s response was pretty funny, especially with his banter at Alex after. Guess he’s got a better opinion of Wheel than most people here, myself included. Matt’s $538 wager was probably an election reference (total number of electoral votes) or the stats blog named after it; he seems like the kind of guy, and he’s from DC after all. Team Austin’s “Final Jeopardy strategy session” was hilarious though. Man, the shot they showed of Colby dancing in response to making the Wild Card was pretty out there.

Ken is incredibly good at this and Brad is still better than him. What a collection of talent. Leonard being in grad school makes me feel really old. Feels like I watched him win the teen tournament yesterday.

Vulture Culture posted:Wasn't that the biggest rout in the history of the ToC? Maybe my memory is off, but I remember Alex def just playing better, but Matt betting everything on a day 2 daily double and losing everything. If he would have gotten the double he could have possibly caught Alex. My wife and I really liked Matt for some reason so that could be coloring my memory. HookShot posted:It feels cruel to have only one team eliminated right off the bat LOL. Another final jeopardy involving the countries of Africa.
