Ughhh, the Teen Tournament starts one week from now. Guess I'm not watching for two weeks. At least there's two weeks of Tournament of Champions after that.

escape artist posted:And I am 26 and not nearly as well-read as I should be... Eh, I feel like literature and poetry are really over-represented in Jeopardy. It's one of the things that's made me hesitant about trying to get on, I always blank on those categories. On the other hand, I blitz science and math categories and wish they were on more often.

escape artist posted:But don't you guys think Alex's comment was funny/ignorant/maybe tongue-in-cheek/if not straight up misogyny. I think it could be taken that way. Another quote that raised an eyebrow was a few months ago, when he mentioned that a contestant had "the 2nd highest money total for a female player" or something along those lines.

Jeff Wiiver posted:That anecdote about the woman who has written her own 1000+ character soap opera for the past 27 years scared the living poo poo out of me. Where do they find these people? Not only that, it was apparently all people she knew or had met in real life. It'd creep me out too if someone I knew was doing that. I almost wanted her to beat Joshua and his greasy rear end mop hair so I could hear more about it.

I'm loving how much more difficult these are. They actually make you think before you blurt something out. Also, Alex seems super chatty this episode. The super conservative wagers on this FJ were pretty funny. And it was really, really easy. funktopus fucked around with this message at 01:57 on Feb 14, 2013 |

All he's missing is a speed suit. Still, more interesting a story that "I went to the Grand Canyon once" or "This,mildly funny thing happened once". However spergy it is. E: jesus, that FJ, was that a question they forgot to use in the Teen Tournament? Anybody could have gotten that. At least Sara won, that's cool. funktopus fucked around with this message at 01:57 on Mar 1, 2013 |

He had a LOT of wrong answers, too. He could have made this a lock if he hadn't shot himself in the foot, since he was usually faster on the buzzer. And Sara wins by $2. She's really cleaning up, 75k in three days is excellent. Might have to be back for next year's ToC at this rate (noodle hair's gonna be there too).

She seems like a nice enough person, and she bugs me far less than some of the previous contestants, but good god, lady, you're on TV. Luckily, with her (at least) 100k, she can afford some nice clothes, among other things.

Number Ten Cocks posted:Super awkward phrasing, obscure original source, non-obvious back linkages from the "contemporary" (60's) derivative works. Really bad. Glad I'm not the only one who thought so. It really feels like they have a new clue writer and they haven't quite trained them well, or something. There have been some really bad categories lately.

Does anyone else have days when they watch this show and it feels like you click with the clue writers and the answers are intuitive, and then others (like tonight) where it felt like doing a crossword puzzle written by an alien that doesn't like you?

The gap between election and inauguration makes it easy to forget that. Like if the election happened in January and inauguration was in April or something, I don't think people would gently caress it up nearly as much. Still, if you're on Jeopardy, it's a thing you should keep in mind.

I did a double-take when I heard Alex read the clue about Alma Moreno, the "sex goddess of cinema". I thought Jeopardy kind of avoided that kind of stuff, it was pretty funny to hear my dad start to say the answer and then stop himself.

"U.S. Cities In 2015 it returned to the list of the 50 most populous U.S. cities, 10 years after dropping off" I love Final Jeopardy questions like that. If you were alive and able to understand important events in 2005, you could reason that one out. Jeopardy needs more clues like that, and fewer like "did you pay attention in Art History?" or Shakespeare categories every other day. funktopus fucked around with this message at 09:32 on May 20, 2017 |

So it looks like Austin got a haircut, get his beard trimmed, and either made him wear/provided a wardrobe more in line with what people expect from a Jeopardy contestant. Also shot him up with Valium.
