Nothing against her, but she didn’t deserve to win after an answer like that so I’m glad that turned out the way it did.

watching Jeopardy as normal, then about 7:50 during double jeopardy they cut away to breaking news

Barbara Bush died

Lester Holt talked about her a few minutes, then around 7:57 they went back to Jeopardy after Final Jeopardy was over, and we got to watch the closing credits


Barbara Bush was an old lady and they announced days ago she was gonna die soon because she stopped medical intervention

why the gently caress did we need a 5 minute news interruption that interrupted the most important part of Jeopardy for this?

Jeopardy is mostly watched by olds, and nothing is more important to olds than learning they outlived other, more famous olds

it was a good call

so why did they do the disclaimer before final jeopardy today

that the clues are randomly chosen before the contestants

I'm guessing because the category skewed fairly strongly toward European Christianity, and it would've been a bad look if a white person got it right, and two people of colour got it wrong.

As it is: not an issue.

It could also be a question of relative difficulty between the semi-finals. Granted both today's and yesterday's FJ categories sounded (and had the possibility to be) difficult as all gently caress, but were quite easy.

No. They might if there were one Muslim and two non-Muslims, and it's even more likely they would if there was one Muslim of Arab descent and the question was specifically about the Qu'ran in Arabic.

Jesus Christ, I thought that FJ was so easy that no one could possibly get it wrong, but I was incorrect.

I hate that my options for the 30 minutes before Jeopardy are Big Bang Theory or Wheel of Fortune. I mean I could do something else, but then I'll just get caught up and forget to watch Jeopardy.

Yes on Randy.

Also, "Swiss Army" is not the brand. The brand is Victorianox. "Swiss Army" is a type of knife they sell, though now it seems to be a line of stuff they carry, but it's still not the brand name.

Like calling the auto brand "Mustang". It's Ford, and Mustang is a model they sell. There is a difference, but maybe not in the heads of the new lame writers, who are more concerned with making bad puns out of the category headings that writing decent questions.

Also I'm pretty sure Jen answered like 10 questions all game but because she got them all right instead of constantly throwing out random poo poo like those other two morons she ended up winning.
