"This battle...." "What is Little Big Horn?" "Yes, the Battle of Little Big Horn." This is my current front-runner for worst stupid interjection. At least adding an unnecessary first name adds a tiny bit of new information. This was literally just restating things already said and wasting everyone's time, like just reading out the scores at the end of a round only somehow even less useful. There was one response this week where you could see how long the middle contestant took to come up with the answer and it was significantly shorter than how long it took this idiot to read the answer off her sheet and say, "......Yes."

I'm catching up because I was away last week but I am floored that they accepted "The Little House Books" as a correct answer to "The Little House on the Prairie" series.

That’s what the series is called though. Little House on the Prairie is just one of the books. I can’t remember the specifics of the clue now though.

I was all ready to bitch about that but upon looking it up saw that Little House books was an acceptable answer. So is calling the whole series Little House on Prairie.

Just for the record, the official Harper-Collins URL is https://www.littlehousebooks.com/ and refers to them as the "Little House" series. So insofar as there's an official title that does seem to be it. Though I imagine "The Little House on the Prairie" would have also been accepted

I had the opposite reaction to the Little House thing - I answered Little House on the Prairie, and then when they accepted Little House, I was like, "Oh, yeah, I guess LHOTP is just the name of one book in the series. I would have hated if I'd got that answer wrong like that on the show." On a similar note, I was shocked that they accepted "The Grinch" for the 2000 movie "How The Grinch Stole Christmas," especially when there was a 2018 movie actually called "The Grinch." But I looked it up and it seemed the 2000 one was called just "The Grinch" in the UK (and I think that contestant might have actually been from the UK?).

That "You never take me to..." category tonight was brutal. Also, lol at the pediatric nurse nkt getting "hematoma". At least Bialik was mostly inoffensive tonight, at least relative to her usual.

You have to be good at quickly feeling out your confidence in the topic. Not only do people have varying levels of skill at this, no contestant is able to get more accurate than "yeah I probably know this", which is why everyone wagers on the hundreds No human contestant, at least. Watson, because it was a deterministic piece of software, was able to quantify its confidence with very high accuracy and would place DD wagers calculated down to the single dollar for optimal risk

HookShot posted:This was one of the things I worked on the most between when I got the call and when I went on. There's an enormous difference between being able to shout out any dumb answer from your couch and having zero consequences if it's wrong and actually playing the game, and figuring out that line when it mattered was, to me, one of the most important things I studied. You can tell when players haven't done it when they're guessing wrong answer after wrong answer after wrong answer. Of course, the flip side of this is not knowing when to take that educated guess that's probably right. Learning where that line is is, IMO, one of the most important skills for a player to have. If there's anything I've learned through my training, it's to trust my instincts on categories where I know I'm comfortable with even if my brain is lagging with providing my confidence level on that response. It's worth taking the shot and trust the brain's mysterious workings on those types of clues where there's a good probability what surfaced was accurate....as long as it's not late-game where you maybe don't want to risk losing a runaway or something, context is incredibly important. So many clues and especially Finals lately where I say a thing right away, then say, "No, that can't be it..." and talk myself out of it only for that first automatic thought to be correct. That said, ymmv, I've just been tracking my performance to know to trust my automatic responding when my conscious recall is sluggish. On last night's final I instantly knew it was referring to Breakfast at Tiffany's given the year and the name Holly, but could not for the life of me remember a song associated with it. The hardest thing for me has been trying to tune out the host reading the clue to gain a few seconds for remembering things (which is ironically something I can thank Mayim for providing renewed motivation to work on). Kind of like my inability to talk any type at the same time, I have a hard time reading the clues myself while the host is.

Go figure with two errors today back to back. They can be forgiven for Drew Brees as he was fired this week but Great British Bake Off hasn't been on BBC since 2016.

That might be the lamest contestant anecdote ever --- who gives a poo poo about interacting with a celebrity if you don't say who it is? Even odds that Sony purposefully left out the name to avoid lawsuits or Mayim is so checked out she didn't bother to ask, but either way pick a different story to air

Grr. I missed FJ because I learned sometime in the last few months that the Hanging Gardens quite likely never existed, so I figured they couldn't possibly know that it used an Archimedes Screw. Apparently some texts do describe something similar to an Archimedes Screw.

Maybe the host could've mentioned what an Archimedes Screw was after the answer was revealed so those who didn't know it would realize why an Archimedes Screw might come in handy for a garden? Naaaaaah
