Alex lights the f### up when he has a chance to be condescending to a contestant.
If he can (crap) on all three at once, his hard-on almost breaks through the podium.

He certainly appears that way but you would know since you met him on your almost 2-day romp through Jeopardy! land.

She was hovering around the lead, got two daily doubles correct which put her in front, got the final jeopardy correct and still lost. That’s some very weak wagering—she didn’t deserve to win. Shame, really.
Mr. Mojo
Footballguy
Yes, how do you not bet enough to win if you get the Final question right?
And it was a really easy Final.

Biggest no-no there is I think. You get the lead and you have the hammer over everyone. You have to think like everyone is getting it right or nobody is and bet accordingly.

Makes me yell at the TV every time. I can't believe the idiot in the middle didn't bet at all. Why was he there?
Mr. Mojo
Footballguy
I think you mean "bet enough to win". He didn't need to bet it all - just enough to have $1 more than 2nd place.

No, I meant exactly what I said. He didn't bet at all. I didn't say anything about betting everything.

And damned if it didn't happen again today. Do any of these people watch the show? I hope they've never been to Vegas. They suck at wagering.

I'm still laughing at the returning champ last night who was exposed as having no Geography sense.
The question was:
In 1871 the official addition of this as a province gave Canada coasts on both the Atlantic & the Pacific Oceans
His guess: Saskatchewan
There are a lot of western or eastern provinces that would have been decent guesses. But Saskatchewan is nearly right in the middle of Canada.

Surprised that Trebek didn't let him have it more than he did. Must have been short on time.I'm still laughing at the returning champ last night who was exposed as having no Geography sense.

Strange night on Jeopardy yesterday.
First they have a Daily Double where I come up with an answer they didn't think of:
Category: Landlocked 27 states
Question: Word shared in the name of 2 of the 27
Answer
Their answer "Dakota" (as in North or South Dakota), my answer "Kansas" as in Kansas or Arkansas, both of which are landlocked
Then the Final Question:
20th Century American History
Question: On Nov. 3, 1948 he sent a congratulatory telegram, then told reporters, “I was just as surprised as you”
Their answer: Dewey. But it could have been Truman, who sent the congratulatory telegram and later found out that he won after all. It was confusing enough that 2 of the 3 players said Truman.

Yep. And the "Kansas" thing doesn't work at all. Nothing in that clue said anything about letters in common.

Well, it could have been Frank Sinatra who sent a congratulatory telegram, too. But, "could have been" doesn't make it correct.

Guy winning right now is going to be tough to beat.
Mr. Mojo

I disagree.
The clue was "Word shared in the name of 2 of the 27". Kansas is a word, like Dakota. It is part of Arkansas. Shared would indicate that it is part of a single or two word state name and not necessarily a unique word by itself.

That's true, but those don't work as an answer like Kansas, based upon the category "The 27 Landlocked US States".

Neither "or" or "a" by itself is a word that is the name of one of the 27 landlocked US States.
That my answer and I'm sticking to it.

Just saw Trebek on a 1978 episode of "Vega$'. Couldn't tell it was him. Had black curly hair (afro).
