As soon as I saw the Final Jeopardy category, I already knew what it was going to be.

I think the only Final I've seen that was easier to get just from seeing the category was 2-Word World Capitals.

I think Savannah might be third for me now after Buzzy and Rodgers. I can't pin down what it is that I like, but I think she's doing a great job.

I think that's all Mike Richards. He did that a lot and he's the EP.

Since I don't expect him to be the host, I've grouped the other 9 so far into 3 categories if terms who I think have done well, poorly or in between:

Yeah: Buzzy, Aaron, Ken
Meh: Anderson, Savanah, Katie
Blech: Bill, Dr. Quack (Neuro), Dr. Quack (Cardio)

absolutely wretched lineup, a cursed two months approach

e: Roberts is, like, fine. I mainly just find her really dull and tries way to hard to force enthusiasm at things so I'm positive that's gonna grate on me, but she's unfortunately the most charismatic of the block by far.

People should be free to figure things out. Alex had his drawn out disappointed grandpa approach to revealing unanswered clues when he felt the answer wasn't too difficult.

I'm rooting for Ken, Katie, Buzzy or Savannah, but would be fine if they just said Savannah will be the host from now on.

I love trivial* triple stumpers.

* For a show written and filmed in LA there's a whole lot of NYC trivia that I wouldn't expect anyone ten miles west of me to know let alone three thousand miles west of me.

Like half of American of fiction is about New York and 1 in 35 Americans currently live in New York City so it's not really that surprising.

Yeah, I try not to complain too much about triple stumpers, but that one really threw me. I've lived in the west my entire life and got it instantly.

Was really hoping Nikki would win too. I thought she had it locked up at after 2nd place revealed their answer.

I liked his "not quite" when Xiao gave two (correct) names even though the clue said they needed three names. Wonder if the producers gave him a note on that one, for giving too much of a hint.

i know "Prussian Blue" is a thing, apparently so is "french blue". garbage question parade continues

IT! IT is confusing! Say your goddamn pronouns!
I'm not sure why it's a garbage question. French Blue and Prussian Blue are both 'things', and even if you didn't know that, you could get the answer from the dates of the Franco-Prussian war.

it's just boring and uninteresting. there's no clever hook or anything. As a regular clue it'd be fine but seeing it in FJ feels uninspired

french blue is hardly a common phrase... and I spent so much time trying to figure out if Prussia bordered anything else that was blue... no way was I getting there.

This was what I did and I second-guessed myself the entire time because I’d never heard of “French blue” and yet there was nothing else it could be

Prussian blue is well known so that's how I figured it out. Didn't know French blue off the top of my head.

It's not even the same color as the flag, it's a light blue.
