I had no real idea when that woman's trial was (I would have guessed a few decades later), but she was the only woman I could think of who had been tried for anything, anywhere close to that time frame.

I don't remember her trial being linked to a quote like that, but I grew up in New Bedford, while she was from Fall River (basically the next big town over), so that jumped out instantly given the region (I assumed MA because of Salem) and the year lined up right.

That said, I couldn't come up with the name, my brain just froze. I was sitting there saying "it's probably that serial killer lady from Fall River but I don't know why I can't remember her name". I did the exact same thing recently with Palermo, going "it's the capital of Sicily but gently caress if I remember what that is right now."

I do genuinely wonder if she took something for nerves and overdid it (because those were all probably filmed on the same day).

I wouldn't worry too much about her. If she makes the TOC, she'll likely be in a game against Matt and get smoked so badly she'll turn into water vapor after Double Jeopardy.

I kinda wanted her to win for that reason today.

Quite the whiplash from "almost too nervous to remain vertical" champ to "yolo wine mom" champ.

So The Chase is being renewed, but notably the new Chasers are not all white men thanks to the addition of Victoria Groce (who is amazing!) (and also Buzzy!).

And in news that's going to make all of us dream for a better world than Sony is going to offer us, Ken is no longer a Chaser.

Buzzerblog’s take is that Sony never wanted him to be a chaser, instead wanting to keep him on their shows (First Masterminds, now Jeopardy) and this is reading (but not confirmed) as the first steps to making him the (mostly) full time host

sitting here just shaking my head at the thought of having to play the chase against brandon blackwell

i would rather face literally any other human being on this earth, past or present. i know this sounds hyperbolic and i'm ready to eat my hat, but just you wait lol

like, he probably doesn't have Victoria's knowledgebase (because no one does) but he is just impossibly fast

Allegedly one of the UK chasers hosed their cousin.

Allegedly.

They keep aluding to it in The Chase Walshposting but as most of them over are are British I'd imagine they don't wanna get sued.

But yeah, Brandon's run on University Challenge was a loving masterclass on interrupting.

I was so disappointed when I first saw the Beast. My brother told me about the show and I'm expecting this hulking scary giant and he's just a scaled up Brit. You can't look like that and go by "the Beast".

He’s lost a ton of weight, which is why. When he was on in the UK and the GSN versions he weighed at least double what he does now. And he’s 6’7” or so which gets hidden on the stupid ABC set. The GSN one was designed to emphasize his size.
