I love Jeopardy, even if I do spend roughly 25% of every episode drunkenly ranting at the screen about what a douchebag Alex Trebek is.

tk posted:I get so angry when the contestants start choosing the clues out of order. Especially when it's a category with a weird theme and the first clue kind of eases you in. ME TOO! I think it was last week they had some sort of "alliterative clues about an alliterative name" category. Douchebag started at 1600, got the daily double, and had no clue how to answer it because he didn't start at the beginning. It gave me joy. JAMOOOL posted:Every Jeopardy fan should read Ken Jennings' book Brainiac, you can get it on Amazon for like a buck and it's very entertaining and contains some valuable info; what you guys are saying ITT is basically correct but the real skill apparently was just timing the buzzer (which is the one thing Watson could do better than both other contestants) as apparently your average Jeopardy contestant could probably get 70%+ of the questions right in a vacuum. Yeah, I always got the impression Watson was so dominant because he's a goddamn computer who could buzz in almost instantly. Jennings and that other dude clearly were trying to buzz in, they just couldn't beat the computer.

MrNonacho posted:Why didn't she just wager $0 and be guaranteed her $17K and another appearance? That was absolutely mindblowing to me. Also, if she was going to bet ANYTHING, she might as well have bet all but $1. The other girl HAD to bet it all. Betting $5000 was just stupid as hell.

escape artist posted:I don't care about his suits, or his mannerisms, or anything... I just like picking the first question in a category and then sticking with the category until it's done. None of this spastic, jumping around trying to find the Daily Double crap. I know it works, and it worked well for him, but it was not fun as a viewer. Amen. Bugs the poo poo out of me.

I love his aggressive betting but I hate everything else about him errad posted:I have to agree with this - it's getting to be a bit much. Also (and the bar is really low) his anecdotes suck. I also had to root against the third person, who thought it would be really cool to write an exclamation point after his name.

Still, I kinda already know how many games she'll wind up winning, due to an aforementioned comment from the head Contestant Coordinator, but it is still fun watching the ride and finding out how much she'll eventually win. Can you put it in spoiler tags for me so I don't have to feel nervous every game
