Host aside, that was a great contest, and the winner seems like a character. Reminds somehow of a Start Trek actor, though not sure if it’s Brent Spiner or Dr Phlox.

I liked Rodgers, he’s likeable. He is clearly trying to pronounce stuff more clearly than he does in regular life. At least he didn’t swear this time, and have it left in the broadcast cause he mumbles so much.

Old Kentucky Shark posted:The original cut would have been a prestige roadshow release with an intermission break for concessions and merchandise sales, so it wouldn't have been that bad. Better than going to church. Dienes posted:A 5-second Google search reveals: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/jeopardy-contestants-controversial-hand-gesture-might-not-be-what-it-seems-065222783.html Yeah, I from the post responded to it sounded like something real was actually known. a) He didn’t even make the OK hand signal b) The whole white power link was invented as a joke, isn’t real, and that gesture is widely used the world over every day. Pull yourself together American media.

christmas boots posted:That's not to say that everyone flashing the OK symbol is making a white power sign--that would be a profoundly stupid reaction and the very one the trolling was meant to cause in the first place-- You were so close. This is exactly what this thread, snd apparently the jeopardy board are doing.

zakharov posted:I wonder how much you have to grow up with Jeopardy to be comfortable with the concept. It moves a LOT faster than most trivia contests, and obviously the questions are pretty America-centric. The show concept and pace is fine, though it does seem far too dependent on buzzer timing vs anything else, at least in regular Jeopardy. The US centric slant of the questions is there for sure, not really a problem in regular jeopardy, but seems turned up to 11 in the tournament of champions to me. For one, knowing the names of the wives of various historic political figures seems to be a thing in the US that just isn’t in the UK at all.

Groovelord Neato posted:And the wordplay ones have got to be killer if you aren't an American. Only from an occasionally odd pronunciation point of view - the wordplay works fine in Britain I think. There is some other oddness, though I think it’s just bad questions. The contestant in correctly answering a ‘homophones’ questions the other day knew perfectly well that content and content are not homophones.
