InsensitiveSeaBass posted:Quadruple rhyme time, Shakespeare characters that only have one line, Alex opens the Bible to a random page. I'd add sports that aren't known well in America but James has probably taken action on poo poo like Bandy to keep it interesting. I'd love to see Calcio Storico show up on Jeopardy. Who couldn't love a sport that's the three-way lovechild of soccer, rugby, and bareknuckle boxing, with everybody dressed renfair style?

What happened to Emma? I was out of town and didn't catch it on air. Just tuned in yesterday and watched the widest man I've ever seen get beat by Nathaniel from Crazy Ex Girlfriend.

Everyone else specified correctly "Woody" but I forget the FJ rule about that.

KICK BAMA KICK posted:Went with Arlo Guthrie on a FJ looking for Woody, kind of a weird fuckup given the part of the clue intended to hint at the time frame was a Steinbeck quote IIRC. During regular Jeopardy, that probably would’ve prompted a “be more specific” from Alex, but I dunno how the judges would’ve played it during FJ. Also, to all the people in the peanut gallery who still think that James threw the game where he lost because of his low bet, I can now point people to Monday’s game, where Brandon went all in on Final when trailing, and then the leader still beat him by $1 by betting correctly. It’s not exactly getting through their thick heads, and if Keith Williams, Monica Thieu, and Austin Rogers can’t get them to see sense in a video they did for the former’s old wagering strategy site thefinalwager.com, along with Andy Saunders’ breakdown of the betting on thejeopardyfan.com not convincing them, then I guess I can only surrender them to the conspiracy peddling hordes, of which there are still depressingly many. Haven’t watched a game all week save Monday, been too busy getting back from work. Guess I missed some characters, huh?

After the first break and contestant stories Alex said the wrong name of who had control of the board. Not just mispronouncing but saying one of the other contestants. Then you could hear talking from offstage. Alex says he saw the wrong signal from offstage and he corrected himself.

Alex said something like "oh, you were holding up one finger, not two" to someone offstage. I thought the little light on the podium was supposed to let him know which player had control of the board.

I thought today's Final clue was pretty vaguely written "If you were using an alternate name, the title of this work could be translated as “Troy Story”" obviously they were going for the Iliad, but couldn't you have answered any ancient work about Troy and they would have to accept it?

Or they're just from the far north, like how Minnesotan Dan Harmon says "baggle" instead of "bagel."

I saw that episode on a tv with closed caption on for whatever reason, wasn't paying much attention to the clue, saw the "vag" text come up a second before the the audio and thought what the gently caress is this kid about to say?

This scene has always driven me nuts. To me the way she says it sounds exactly the same as everyone else, and I can't tell if that's the joke. I know that probably just means that I pronounce it wrong myself.

A similar issue came up in a recent contestant test where a question relied on scary and sherry rhyming. If you're in the northeast US they absolutely do not.
