3 out of 5 Beatles songs missed, and one of the correct was Ken giving credit to someone who identified “Something” as “Something in the Way She Moves”? Oof.

How does that explain how she thought a road can start in either Albany or Boston, and go thru Denver before it reaches the other one?? IF the clue was that it passed thru A and B before going to D then maybe, but since odd numbered highways are N-S, kind of hard to connect those 3 cities.

Legit. As long as the added part is correct and it doesn't violate the category or the clue, it is legal. That's why Ken paused. He had to be sure that was the lyric.

That’s the 4th time this month that someone misspoke and the judges let it slide. I still swear someone said Castner instead of Costner last week
Pip's Invitation

I figured. But it’s another indicator that these people knew nothing about the Beatles.

and 2 of them thought MASH was a drama.

The answer was obvious if you knew that Magnum PI was filmed in Hawaii. Which apparently they didn’t.

Tom Selleck's wardrobe might have thrown them off.

What's funny is it happened twice, when cbs rebooted Hawaii 50 a few years ago, then canceled it, the Magnum PI reboot reused their sets and crew again

And I got to yell at the TV again today. Joy.

Two different clues had the same correct response today. I wonder how many times that has happened?

Did anyone else think that Final was totally easy?

Was in our area as well but we watch (commercial free) on YouYube each day. Episodes usually pop up around 5pm. They don’t stay up as they presumptively remove after 6-8 hours.
YT we’re currently using is
444 WEEKLY UPDATES! (@20TriviaQandA)
After the episode they have 20 questions of trivia which is fun.

We are, once again, Kenless.

Took a while but finally got two finals in a row right. Whooping winner, chicken dinner.

Does the rhythm of the game always feels a bit off with Mayim?
The contestant gets a DD right and it feels like she's a half beat slow to say "that's correct!"
(usually a half beat slow triggers disappointment bc it is followed by "no I'm worry we were looking for....")

I ended up yelling at the screen again during final. Where do they find these idiots?
The Masters thing was fun.

Is James a fan of wrestling? Seems to relish playing the heel.
B2B DDs to go from 8K to 32K was pretty sweet.

Thoughts on the Daily Double reveal?
I like that they announce ahead before they do it, hope that continues. I don't want to know so I can just look away/shield my eyes whilst they do it.

I thought today's Final was way easier than usual.
Mrs. Rannous
Footballguy
I have no idea why they are doing this. What is it supposed to accomplish? I don't want to know.
BobbyLayne
Footballguy
from Monday night? yeah that was an instaget, you would think in a Masters FJ they’d go for something more obscure.
Leroy Hoard
Footballguy
No, I was just jumping the gun on tonight's regular show. But yeah to that also.
BobbyLayne
Footballguy
Yes, that was super easy as well.
And @Mrs. Rannous will be screaming at the tv again when she sees the wagers.

I watch Jeopardy only sporadically, so I didn't know this was coming up. Watched last night and really enjoyed it! Looking forward to the rest. Can't decide whom to root for, as I liked all of them.
Don Quixote

For some reason my TV is playing assisted audio description with Jeopardy Masters, so looking away does not help as I hear a voiceover with it.
I can’t figure out why it is doing that — it is just Jeopardy Masters and not other TV shows, and when I go into my TV settings, it shows assisted audio description as off.
Don Quixote
Footballguy
Avoiding spoilers for the west coast crowd, but great one on Masters tonight.
Mrs. Rannous
Footballguy
You could probably hear me from wherever you are. What possible reason could she have had for doing that?
Yes, that was super easy as well.

Might be something to do with how you are getting the signal.

It's baffling. We see it so often, someone plays well enough to beat a ToC bound champion and then flatlines the wager.
Scores going into Final:
Hannah $26,000Raquel $14,400
Joe $5,800
Hannah: Standard cover bet over Raquel is $2,801. (Actual bet: $3,000)
Raquel: You must bet at least $8,801 to have any chance of winning. (Actual bet: $8,000)
It. Keeps. Happening.

Wagering in the masters tournament is very interesting.

Definitely more complex determination to be made when you actually get a benefit from second place and are still in the next round no matter what you do.
Leroy Hoard

Surprised tonight's regular show final was a triple stumper.
BobbyLayne
Footballguy
Clue: In 1901 6 colonies joined together to form this nation, today the sixth largest in area
Answer: Australia
Answer: Australia
They were struggling, 10 triple stumpers (4 in one category - Better Tomes & Gardens) is not a well played game, Combined Coryat of 24,800 is the lowest I can remember in awhile? Hannah is a solid player, averaging 20,000 Coryat through 6 games, but she breezed through last night; 14 correct with no misses in the Jeopardy round.

I might get tomatoes thrown at my head for this, but I don't care. Ken is a better host of Jeopardy! than Alex Trebek was. The way he responds to the player anecdotes, knows when to inject a touch of humor into correct response confirmations, and his history on their side of the lecterns means he has a relatability to the players that Trebek could never have. He knows how to treat the players with respect when they've earned it, empathy if they're struggling, and admiration for a tough answer or a winning streak, and his banter with the players is miles and miles better than Trebek's was. Unlike Alex, he doesn't throw on a haughty accent for every European related category, he doesn't deride the players with snark or sarcasm for a wrong response, and he doesn't give the "Bless your heart" smirk and a verbal "aww good for you" response to the players anecdotes. My biggest complaint of Trebek was always how he kept this air of superiority over the players. I'll give you that Ken doesn't have the most perfect speaking voice, and he's got a slight lisp, but he just embodies everything about Jeopardy! and he should be THE singular host of ALL things Jeopardy! for the foreseeable future IMO.

Whoever wins today will face off with 3-day champion Ben Chan on Monday. If it's the current champ that will create a very interesting matchup. Woe to the unfortunate person who gets to play 3rd fiddle. 🎻🎻🎻
