Hahaha I forgot that I watched last night's episode and not tonight's today, so I thought it was about the Poe answer and I read this reply and I was so loving confused for a minute.
TBH the Poe one did take me exactly 31 seconds for some reason

I think Alex was right, you either get it instantly, or it takes forever. I got it instantly, but it really was on the basis of "well name one horror/suspense American author who's not Stephen King because Hitchcock is too old", I didn't actually know it.

Guys, find a woman who looks at you the way GhostStalker looks at every bald, obese, single 58 year old accountant from Tulsa who managed to win $4,000 by not wagering on a Final Jeopardy triple stumper.

Holy poo poo this. It was one of those answers where once you hear it, you’re like “oh that makes sense,” but the wording had me thinking about solar holidays vs tree holidays.
I think I got it last minute on a lucky guess. Like, all of a sudden as the Think music was winding down, the answer came to me, and I wouldn’t have had the time to write it down.

Also, apparently Lindsey is gonna be donating $1 to pancreatic cancer research for every weird comment wrt the buzzer that people are finding of her on the socials. Should I put her down for :10bux: from these dead gay comedy forums?

ill be honest. That random sound effect of the castanets they used for that one clue immediately registered as someone hammering the buzzer while watching todays episode.

Apparently he got busted because an intern at the Paley Center wanted to write an article about the Jeopardy subreddit. He mentioned the guy uploading the episodes in said article as a prominent part of the subreddit, prompting Sony to crack down. I’m hearing that another account might pick it up soon though.

And he was so mad that the game was a runaway!

"World War II...ugh, they're all too young to remember" and then 2 of them got it right, take that! I missed with "Remember Pearl Harbor."

I'm kinda weirded out by Steven's demeanor but excellent game by him.

I messed up the middle word with “I will return” instead. Close, but not good enough.

It was such a good "Jim from The Office" look at the camera at the end there.

My husband blurted out the answer to final basically immediately, but seeing as Australia actually got bombed during WWII he knows a lot more about the war in the Pacific than I do whereas we basically learned "well it happened and we were super lovely to the Japanese" and that's about it haha.

Just log on 10 or so minutes before whichever time you want. You don't have to pick in advance. If you're late it starts without you.
