If you google the name of the current champion, you can find his Youtube channel which has a single video about Legos. According to the mod of the reddit, you are not allowed to post that link. Posting the link counts as sharing personal information and could get you banned sitewide, even though the youtube account is under the guy's actual name.

I didn't get a fair chance to guess final jeopardy because the twitter spoiled it https://twitter.com/Jeopardy/status/1309689153999822849

Tangentially, there were some impressively stupid answers on Wheel last night.

I'm studying and trying to shore up weaknesses like sports, but come on....this was insane even for a sports clue. All I was able to do was assume from the age and "individual sportsman" that it was a golfer. Even the aforementioned friend who can rattle off the most inane details about sports had no idea and he actively follows golf because he's secretly 80 years old posing as 35. Maybe they were hoping for a contestant who regularly reads Forbes?

See, this one to me didn't seem that hard. I'm not a huge golf fan by any stretch, but I knew Phil was around the right age and probably rich. It was an educated guess, but I got it right. That's one of my favorite things about Jeopardy-as knowledgeable as these contestants all are, they all have their blind spots.

i dont follow golf at all and i was able to come up with mickelson as a middle aged golf guy (as part of the five golf guys i know including mcilroy, woods, arnold palmer, and jack nicklaus)

My strategy is that if it is a golf question just answer Tiger Woods and you have a 50/50 shot at getting it.

I was flipping back and forth on whether Mickelson was older than that or if Woods was that old yet and not sure where I would've landed if I had to. Kinds disappointed the lady didn't come up with it, in addition to "pope", she was playing the same way my mom plays along at home: recognize one word in the clue so you confidently buzz in but then all you've got is just blurting out something vaguely relevant at best.

there are only three golfers you need to know for 95% of situations: nicklaus, palmer, and woods.

Yeah, I assumed it was Tiger, although admittedly it was probably related to listening to the Podcast about him. Disappointed that my roommate wasn't around to see the champ put up Mr. Magoo, since she would have gotten a kick out of it.

Yeah, as a person who watches zero golf I got to Mickleson pretty easily, Woods isn't that old and Palmer isn't playing anymore. And it had to be golf, there are like two sports where you can still be playing at age 50, unless you're a loving freak of nature like Jagr. Respect for that answer though, Jagr owns.

i could've seen a driver. i think schumacher was the wealthiest athlete in the world for a long time, and some of those guys race for decades. but yea, pretty much had to be a golfer. i also thought mickelson was right around woods's age so...i think i would've gone woods. good question, that's for sure.

Woods is getting up there, he's 44, I didn't realize he was that young, but I figure most people don't keep that on file. He's also been in the public eye for most of our lives, so if you're not paying attention, it's easy enough to just assume that he's older than he is.

Schumacker is barely 50 though and has been basically in a coma for almost a decade. Elite sports really do for the most part take an enormous toll on your body. Golf is one of the few that are relatively low impact, although pro golfers still have to train a shitload. I only knew Woods wasn't that old because he dated 35-year-old Lindsey Vonn for a while and he didn't look THAT much older than her.

Gitche Gumee feels like a very obscure answer. Only one contestant knew the correct lake but they didn't know the native name. The other knew the poem but not the lake name in the poem. I knew the answer right away but how well known is it outside the Great Lakes region anyway? (Or the Edmund Fitzgerald song) It feels like the clue would have been more reasonable if it was rewritten to be looking for either "Lake Superior" or "Hiawatha" as the answer instead of "Gitche Gumee".

It was worded confusingly as well. We both thought they were looking for the modern name and that seemed too obvious.

I could tell what they were going for but knew some contestants wouldn't and also got as far as Hiawatha but not the actual answer.

I went with Superior myself, but I also realized I misunderstood the clue and had to re-read it twice before I realized what they were going for.

They were. quote:An 1855 poem gives us this Native American name for the 1 Great Lake not known to us today by a Native American word or a tribe’s name/ So you needed to know that Superior was the one great lake not named after a Native tribe or word, and then know what the original native word for it was. I got the question at home, mainly because I like that song. Were I under pressure to get it I would have blanked completely.

On the flip side, tonight's Final was so easy I threatened to flog whoever missed it. (I'm gonna be flogging two of them.)

It's funny what pop culture can lead you to a Final Jeopardy answer. Last year, I was able to get one from remembering the lyrics from The Friends of Mr. Cairo. This nickname for a history-changing weapon of 1945 came from a character in “The Maltese Falcon”. Fat Man.

Didn't rewind to do the math but shouldn't the guy have bet to end the game on the final DD, would've only been a couple hundred more and wouldn't have changed the dynamics if he'd missed? I remember thinking I don't know anything about Russian opera, I'd go really low here, but then remembered that I had pulled one or two out from other context and the numbers looked like they made sense.
