Netflix needs to buy the rights to a shitload more Jeopardy episodes though; I'd happily watch Ken's entire first run for example. Or literally any episodes from 1+ years ago so I don't remember poo poo about them. The 40-odd that they have right now are NOT SUFFICIENT.

They're trying to figure out how to do more games; they've been looking for people in the LA-area who can go on the show. I think they're hoping to be able to start taping again before mid-June, and then hopefully get a few weeks ahead so they don't have to pause. I'm not at all looking forward to the what was it, four games spanning ten episodes? But I am looking forward to James getting his rear end kicked by Ken again.

Its not a "personal attack" to say that its rude to interrupt both the host and the show by interjecting minutes of personal commentary constantly.

They're breaking up the 4 hour-long episodes into 8 30-minute episodes, so there shouldn't be too much filler. The other two episodes be Ken's first game and Ken's last game on his original run.

HookShot posted:Yuuuuuuppppppppppppppppppp Oh drat, you got cold messaged by that guy too via FB Messenger? Is it the same guy on the same account sending the same messages? I know FB probably doesn’t give a poo poo about people mass reporting him either. I never got one because I’m a dude, but the constant horror stories from female contestants makes me wonder if this dude just FB searches every “attractive” female Jeopardy contestant and messages them if he finds them. I think the worst I got was some Mitchell Hodack stuff via the main Jeopardy page. I still think the worst any female contestant got that I remember was Talia Lavin, after she went viral for that Turd Ferguson thing, and then people started commenting on her appearance. At least she seems to have come out rather well from it, and is still doing great political commentary nowadays.

Sometimes they're female accounts, sometimes they're male, but yeah, almost everyone gets them. I know some women get them multiple times as well. I'm pretty sure he does just search for most of the female contestants. I luckily have not been a victim of Mitchell Hodack's attention. There have definitely been worse stories than Talia Lavin (which is not a good story). I'm not going to repeat the stories here because what happens in the Jeopardy women's group stays in the Jeopardy women's group but I'll just say that the fact that the teen tournament involves teens does not stop the worst of the bad people that watch this show.

I'm a woman who reads (and works in) the genre. Saying "ugh" to a very trite blurb is not a personal attack and definitely isn't on the level of the other stuff. Also, I should have said something about the SAHM thing before instead of making a stupid joke.

It sucks to be having some big argument derail in this thread right now (not to ignore valid points on people being creepy and awful to women). Even if they do some format of Jeopardy with locals, We have like, 2 weeks of normal Jeopardy left. It won’t be the same after that no matter what. How about we all stop arguing and bitching on all these little things, and just enjoy this last little bit of hope before Corona virus takes this poo poo away from us too.

I don't begrudge anyone taking a shot at someone they thought was taking their own shot at women in general. I don't consider it a "little thing." We should always be trying to catch that kind of poo poo whether it was intended or not. Please avoid using the phrase "Bitching" in the future.

Mr. Hookshot and I have been watching the Netflix episodes and we play a game of "guess what year this set/fashion is from". And HO BOY was I ever bad at it at first, I'd look at it and go "this could be literally anytime between 1995 and 2010.Dienes posted:I'm so sorry you went through that.

Ken's first episode was wild because he played pretty well through the first round, but then you got to see the one specific moment in Double Jeopardy where he snapped on

I didn't watch the GOAT episodes when they originally aired, so it actually worked out as a nice treat the last two weeks. I took special joy when I got things right that they missed. Can't believe that James didn't get Iago in the last Final Jeopardy.

My guess is because Hamlet is the longest Shakespeare play he went with a character from that, except 90% of that play is just Hamlet whining about how much his life sucks. Meanwhile 90% of Othello is Iago talking about how evil and scheming he is, it was always going to be that one.

That game was really interesting; if the winner had ran into one of those pretty hard DDs instead of Ken he probably preserves a runaway.
