That guy seemed high or drunk. He gave some outright idiotic answers in addition to the suit remark.

The dude opened with a crack about selfies being his favorite pictures. He might as well have written the word "rear end in a top hat" on his forehead.

Kind of surprised only one person got Don Quixote. Maybe the "title characters" bit threw them off, but it seemed pretty obvious to me.

The Tournament of Champions beginning next week has to be one of the most anticipated in awhile. You've got the returns of Julia and Arthur, along with many other strong champions. Off the top of my head, I remember Sandie and Ben being especially formidable. Here's your matchups.



Go Arthur, hail Satan, etc

Andrew and Ben had play styles really similar to Arthur Chu. My money's on the three of them for the last round.

I'm shocked there's one in KC. Especially considering the cities that don't get one. Chicago especially. Not that I'm complaining about Jeopardy auditions being within reasonable driving distance, but still...

I just think it's hilarious he only brought two shirts. That, or three shirts that look and fit exactly the same.

Just took the Pacific time test. I studied theatre in college, but I still blanked of the "rotund character appearing in two of Shakespeare's histories and one comedy." I am properly ashamed.

He didn't have a great show tonight at all. Painfully awful pre-show interview. Bad Final bet. And have they ever let another contestant answer a missed Daily Double before? But at least he's been on for five games, and that usually means a spot in The Tournament of Champions...

Also, can't believe that Ozymandias was a Triple Stumper. And accepting "Charles Shumer" when the clue specifically said that no one calls him Charles made it seem like they either wanted his last name or the nickname. Guess Alex wasn't expecting that either based off of his response to that of the contestant.

Not gonna lie... flustered/irritated Alex was my favorite part of the show. But yeah, I guess those three never took a high school English class. Or read Watchmen.
