Tom was a holdover from the previous tape day, very excited to see how he does tonight. We may have all dodged a bullet here.

Apparently not:Spokes posted:We were specifically told (July 2019 taping, so perhaps they codified it recently) that the five banned wagers were 14, 88, 1488, 666, and 69. Someone asked about 420 and Maggie was just like “ayyyyyyy”

They should take 1488 off the ban list and wait and see if anyone ever uses it, and if they do all their winnings get automatically donated to charity and the platform they stand on ejects them directly into the ceiling.

She was the other holdover. banned from Starbucks posted:someone wagered $420 today. i thought that was against the rules or whatever Nope, Corina said since it is legal in California where the show tapes, it's fair game.

Just got to the episode from two Wednesdays ago and jokingly responded "fridge" to the Double Jeopardy clue to complete the rhyming lyric from "Annie" that was obviously going to be "orphanage." Then the guy answered "fridge." The same guy suggested in Final Jeopardy that John Brown lost to this man, who would lead his own rebel army a few years later: Hamilton.

So is being a Nazi. Both are probably inappropriate for a show that's rated G, though.

So now they have a qualifying test that you can take anytime (until April). If you just took a test in January, you can take this one too, and they'll count whichever score is higher https://www.jeopardy.com/jbuzz/jeopardy-online-test/what-jeopardy-anytime-test

And then that’s it, that was your one lifetime jeopardy shot and it’s over now.

When Ken was competing against Watson he said something like "Knowing the answers but being a hair slower on the buzzer is indeed very frustrating. I forgive anyone who lost to me for rooting for Watson."

And then that’s it, that was your one lifetime jeopardy shot and it’s over now. even just a 5 day champ like the guy who mopped my floor, then got killed game one of his next day's taping. Sure is fun to imagine being selected just 2 games later and you definitely don't dwell on it for the rest of your life or anything

I've thought of all the people Ken crushed watching him lose on a fairly easy Final to someone who would lose the next game.

You guys track your coryat scores? What kind of scores are you getting? I started watching the show a week into James' run and I get anywhere from 12 to 30 a night.

LOL no. My coryrats were $9800 and $8000. Probably double that if I'm doing it at home and am not actually competing against others on the buzzer.
