Jeopardy Baby, Ooooh-ooh-oooooh (1 Viewer)

[Leroy Hoard]

The writer from thejeopardyfan agrees:

Andy’s Thoughts:​

• With where Jake is positioned among all of the 3-day champions right now, I’d be surprised if we saw Jake again in the Tournament of Champions. I also thought that his introduction behavior at the start of today’s game was puerile, sophomoric, and unbecoming of the Alex Trebek Stage. (I will have no further comment.)

 

[Mr. Mojo]

I hardly ever actively root against a contestant, but duuuude...

I think if he and Rowan (person from 2022 tournament) were both on at the same time, it would have been the worst thing imaginable and they would have had to just cancel the show after 39 seasons.

 

[identikit]

Glad the book store lady won, I saw enough of quirky guy.

It's safe to start watching again?!

I told my wife last night “people on my board” were saying this and she got a good chuckle.

Looked like a good sport about losing.

But glad he's gone.

Incorrigible.

I’m pretty sure dude just has some involuntary stuff going on. I was going to say autistic but that seems like a catch all these days. Everything I said above I don’t mean with any malice, in fact, when I’m trying to say is, I don’t think that dude really intended malice necessarily he just couldn’t stop his body from his excitement.

Dramamine might be your only hope

What was the intro behavior they mentioned?

I think this was yesterday.

 

[Don Quixote]

I do think Jake may have some form of autism or on the spectrum though. So, I’ll go easy on him.

 

[worrierking]

Jake was twitchier than David Byrne in the video for Once in a Lifetime. He was very hard to watch. Very good player, but yikes.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

This new guy sounds like he almost can’t be bothered to play.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

This new guy sounds like he almost can’t be bothered to play.

Why do you think that? He seemed engaged to me.

He’s got some super brit elitism. It’s kinda hilarious. He gives every answer with disdain and contempt!

Honestly, I think you may be projecting.

Jake and Mattea with Ray swaying in the middle

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Let's not complain too much about Matt or they'll bring back Jake.

 

[UOFI_316]

So WTF happened today with the Tuskegee Airmen answer? Guy on the right answered Tuskegee Redtails and was called wrong, Matthew buzzed in but Ken turned it down and it didn't change his score, then the guy in the middle buzzed in with the answer. Never seen that before where someone buzzed in and was denied an attempt to answer.

Some bad editing. I suspect that to get the scores right, some oddball editing had to happen, and they just didn't do a very good job.

She practically got a standing ovation from the audience for beating that dude

It might have just been my imagination, but I got the feeling that even Ken was rooting against that dude.

If you are triggered by a mildly quirky British guy, you probably need to recalibrate yourself.

I get a Monty Python vibe from him.

Which is kinda cool

That’s exactly what I meant. I don’t dislike the guy at all.

I find the guy funny and that reads as if I’m “triggered”? Weird take.

I swear that he was a member of The Moody Blues at some point.

This reminds me when someone on my group chat of 5 middle-aged idiots sent headshots and asked us to guess "Moody Blue or '60s BBC newscaster"? (They were all Moody Blues; he didn't send Justin Hayward, who is more recognizable than the others.)

 

[jhib]

Did anyone else first hear the "First Off, How Dare You" category as "First off, how are you?"

:yandek:

 

[BobbyLayne]

Big whiff on the final DD of the day

Spoiler: Clue

The temperature during Finland's Midsummer festival is around 210 degrees--OK, inside these, a traditional part of the holiday

Spoiler: Answer

Sauna

Greg answered Igloo

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Big whiff on the final DD of the day

I have no idea what he was thinking.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I have no idea what he was thinking.

Um... Um... Crap... what's in Finland... Um... igloos?

Probably something like that.

 

[Runkle]

If you didn't know about their sauna culture, you're never guessing it blindly. Maybe it was 'just write anything'.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Agreed, but literally anything would have been more logical than igloo.

Laplanders?

What igloo is 212 degrees? Other than a melted one, I mean.

 

[Snoopy]

212 degrees is the boiling point, so it could be evaporated.

Sublime!

 

[Mr. Mojo]

I was equally irritated with how easy the "Lloyds of London" DD was.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I can't believe the mildly quirky British dude lost because he couldn't come up with a British author on a pretty easy DD.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I can't believe the mildly quirky British dude lost because he couldn't come up with a British author on a pretty easy DD.

Me, too. I had no idea that Milne had writen a book like that, but I still figured it out.

Same for today's final. I thought it was easy peasy. I guess not.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Yeah I'm surprised only 1 of the 3 got tonight's FJ.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Me, too. I had no idea that Milne had writen a book like that, but I still figured it out.

I found it amusing that A.A. Milne and e.e. cummings both appeared in the same DJ round (in different categories). I always associate them together because of their double-vowel initials.

So J R R Tolkien has one too many?

 

[Mr. Mojo]

My wife and I both answered "Tinkerbell" to last night's Final.
That's about as close as you can get and still get it wrong.

 

[identikit]

Watching last night's episode.

Mira is adorable

OMG...

Another day for her...

My teenage kids started getting into watching Jeopardy a couple months ago so now we watch it every night together. The rule of Final Jeopardy is DON'T YELL OUT THE ANSWER. Last night, Ken Jennings hadn't even finished reading the clue yet when my wife blurts out "PETERPAN!" as fast as she could. Rest of the family absolutely shamed her.

Something about her just does it for me. Can't put it into words.

I would not complain if she were around for a few more episodes.

As for the FJ question, I'll never know if I would have gotten Peter Pan in time, because my wife blurted it out pretty quickly before I had a chance to jog my mind to that.

We don't have this rule and I guess I could have used it last night (see my previous post). But I am the offender much more often for this.

Dude. I used to watch Wheel with my parents. Never blurt out the answer. Just say you know it.

I started calling divorce lawyers and hiding money.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Speaking of Wheel, I would have never guessed Pat & Vanna being around 40 years.
