Is anyone else finding the current champ's "whatever" hand expression to EVERY answer annoying?

I hadn't noticed until you pointed it out.

And, no.

as long as you don't put bars over the numerals.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I suck at math -- and remembering Roman numerals -- and got FJ right. But two of the contestants didn't.

All those years of reading movie made dates finally paid off for me.

I make a point of always doing the Roman numeral math when looking at building cornerstones

With reports emerging that Jeopardy may film episodes using old clues if the writers' strike is still going on when filming for next season begins, five recent champions -- Cris Pannullo, Ray Lalonde, Hannah Wilson, Ben Chan and Troy Meyer -- have said they will not cross picket lines to film a TOC as long as the writers are on strike. https://old.reddit.com/r/Jeopardy/comments/155wvzw/starting_the_season_during_the_wga_strike/

A question asked what team had all their single-digit numbers retired, with the "correct" response being the Yankees. After Jeter's #2 was retired, pitcher Adam Ottavino signed with the team and wore #0, and 0 is still available.

Yes, but I would have gone with Cal RIpken Jr or 3, myself. Those are my favorite teams.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Perhaps they should giving reading comprehension tests for contestants.

Did you mean to add "start" to that statement?

first day back from vacation FJ was a rare instaget

Like a couple people on the website I forgot to ad the first word to the correct answer. Something tells me Ken woulda zapped me

I doubt it. That is the correct name in French. Pretty sure he knows that.

 

[UOFI_316]

Holy cow, that middle lady was nervous to start. Who else could have set the world record in the 50 yard dash at 4 minutes 12 seconds??

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Queen Victoria II? Really?

And what lazy person can't just guess a metal if they don't know the answer? Just pick one, doof.

 

[Mr. Mojo]

And what lazy person can't just guess a metal if they don't know the answer? Just pick one, doof.

For me, the biggest doof was the one in the lead that bet it all and only had to bet $1,001.

 

[UOFI_316]

Is this extended "second chance tourny" a result of the strike, or something they were always planning?? I know that a bunch of the TOC champs had said they would not film if the strike was going on, is this some way to extend the season to hopefully let the TOC happen after the strike??

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Did that woman who won not wager correctly, or can I just not do basic math?

 

[Runkle]

Did that woman who won not wager correctly, or can I just not do basic math?

Yeah she went from a guaranteed win to losing by $1 if second place went all in and got it right

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

So I didn't yell at the screen in vain. Cool.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I think I would prefer it if Jeopardy would stop having the scrubs back. One of today's dudes didn't even know how to wager on a Daily Double. None of them had the reading comprehensin skills to comprehend the Final question. It's painful to watch. (Ya know- all that screaming at the TV.)

 

[Don Quixote]

I have not been watching the Celebrity Jeopardy, but exception to watch Katie Nolan crush it tonight (as I would have predicted).

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Just how, precisely, does one train an airplane or a blimp?

 

[Pip's Invitation]

These Champions Wildcard matches are usually pretty close, but the bald dude who can beatbox just destroyed his opponents.

Bye Bye Bialik

Bye Bye Bialik

She's out!

@Mrs. Rannous will be so happy!

Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory

True Cliff Clavin moment

Silver lining: They HAVE to bring her back for the Second Chance tournament. It's too good a story not to.

This week they did bring her back. She had a lead and lost again, but this time in a more conventional fashion.

Her story was that John Ratzenbetger reached out to her on social media with some nice words.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Jennings said something like “I will miss her on a personal level.”

Reading between the lines, I wonder if he really means “I like her as a person, but she sucked as a host.”

 

[pecorino]

Wait, did she just subtract wrong tonight? Why did the woman not bet enough to catch the leader?

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Can they just ban contestants from doing the idiotic stuff during the intros? It makes me want to buy an Uzi.

I normally don’t care but in recent weeks they’ve been cringe.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Sometimes people bet to win if the leader bets what they need to bet to cover second place doubling their score but gets it wrong. That’s what Megan Wachstpress was known for. Perhaps that’s what this person did last night.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Watching last night's episode.

Mira is adorable

She’s back!

 

[Runkle]

Crazy final tonight

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Crazy final tonight

They all made the exact same mistake.

"I" believe so.

 

[dino259]

How did they all not get that landmark?

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

How did they all not get that landmark?

They don't know what a catenary curve is?

 

[Mr. Mojo]

How did they all not get that landmark?

No kidding, it was the first thing that came to me.
And doesn't everyone know that the Eiffel Tower has more than 2 legs???

 

[shuke]

Diandra

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Diandra

My eyes would have exploded if Diandra and Mira ended up in the finals together.

 

[Don Quixote]

ToC finals going on.

Weird wager by Yogesh to bet $0 from second place. Got it right and would have won if just bet normally. Theatre is a strong category for him too, so not like he just thought would not know it. (He’s gotten 123 of 127 theatre category questions right on the trivia site that I’m a member of too.)

Yeah. I didn't get that, either.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

That certainly was a tight finish. I'm surprised the guy in the middle didn't get that the answer was a navy guy.
