Belated remembrance about last night: apparently no recent experience in working for a corporation or government equals a shocking lack of knowledge about cybersecurity even for the extremely online and well informed.

It's nice going back to regular Jeopardy and knowing a lot of the answers again. One major difference between it and the GOAT shows is that you can make a pretty good educated guess on many questions with a broad understanding of the subjects whereas the GOAT questions seem to be asking mostly very specific responses.

Good to know his sets on the Jeopardy! Comedy Hour translate to Twitter As for the games, the questions seen to vary between from bone crushing difficult (makes sense given the stakes) or unusually easy. My mother however thinks most of the categories are too male-centric (Cybersecurity being a example) and that they should be more gender neutral. It's probably nuts but has anyone else noticed anything?

It's probably nuts but has anyone else noticed anything? Speaking not about this tournament (I haven't seen it) but the game in general, it has been said by many for years that it's very male-centric. Even a lot of the "gender neutral" categories had a tendency to be very male-centric questions. However, this season the head writer is, for the first time, a woman, and I don't think it's a coincidence that there have been a ton of female champions lately. Anecdotally, I've noticed that I'm better at the categories I used to be terrible at. Movies, for example, was not my strong suit, because I haven't seen The Godfather, or Taxi Driver, or The Shining or any of those more "male" movies . And yet suddenly there was a question about Zac Efron in High School Musical? Hell yes. I actually RAN a movie category the other day, which I don't think has ever happened in the ten years I've been watching this show. I've also noticed a lot more women in the regular categories like "authors" lately, whereas in the past we had to wait for the "women authors" category to get any sort of representation. It's hard to apply genders to question categories. I know more about cyber-security than most men, for example, and my strongest category, geography, is considered to be a "male" category. But yeah, your mom isn't insane. Until recently the show's questions were very much slanted more towards a male knowledge base.

Their camaraderie—even their rapport with Alex—makes this a joy to watch. They’re three guys who have seen each other a bunch over the last 15 years and now they’re together one last time having fun and pointedly ignoring the reason why they’re all together because it’s sad and Alex deserves his dignity and to end things on his own terms.

Males and females have performed basically identical in the show in terms of getting questions right. However males make higher wagers/bets and presumably win more often though that. Of course one other thing the “percent right” stats wouldn’t account for is a female contestant might not buzz in at all in a more male biased category. https://www.casino.org/jeopardy-odds/ Shout out to Massachusetts for producing the most contestants per 100k

Additionally, categories worth $600 and $800 had a ratio of over 2-to-1 in both rounds, which just goes to show – you never know which question is going to be the one that stumps you."

She didn't even know Plummer was in The Sound of Music! Including tonight's game 34 of the last 38 champions have been women. LOL the comments to this post are just as spicy as you might expect from a lot of Jeopardy! viewers.

My wife briefly worked with the champion tonight, but had no idea she was going to be on the show. I've never met her, but my wife says she's really nice. I do know that she went to the auditions the same week as me. Maybe there's still hope that I'll get a call before my 18 months expires!

The commercials for tonight goat match make it sound like Ken gonna finish it. If only he learned the secret was to bet big on daily doubles before James, this would be a different world. Did Brad just feel there are no more worlds to conquer? I think this is a long enough verbal diarrhea. Great job ABC!

Ken credits a big part of his success in his initial jeopardy appearance as having a consistent strategy that was easy for him to do in game after game and he’s speculated that if he tried to do what James did he would get caught much sooner by missing a bet or wilt under the high pressure of the strategy.
