Hmm, at those odds I think I’d need to take the player who has never lost to a human. Such disrespect for Brad. He’s owned Ken like four times.Odds Shark @OddsShark

Nope. Still no idea what this refers to.You new here?Who is Tanner?
There's a long time member here who was on Jeopardy. If you've been here long enough, he's probably been snarky with you at some point.Nope. Still no idea what this refers to.
Definitely looks like the value bet.Hmm, at those odds I think I’d need to take the player who has never lost to a human. Such disrespect for Brad. He’s owned Ken like four times.
But the wagering isn't getting better. What the hell?I know I'm not getting any smarter, so FJs must be getting easier.
When was the last time you saw a game with multiple 'adjustments' to scores after the fact. I think there were 3 last night (2 prey and one later for the champion).According to dictionary.com, "prey" comes from the Latin prehendere, "to grasp or seize". It appears, by coincidence, to have a root from a different Latin word for seize than the cluemakers intended. Must have been a hectic research session during the break.I can’t believe they gave that guy credit for “birds of prey”. The clue said they were going for the name that came from the Latin for “to seize”, which means it has to be raptors.
It's all gotten easier in the last year or so. Because I'm definitely dumber than I used to be, but can get a lot more than I used to be able to.I know I'm not getting any smarter, so FJs must be getting easier.
Great point and spot on, imo. Lots of silly pop culture stuff in there now too. Used to be I could hang with the college version and definitely the HS one...but would fumble with a lot of the growed up version. Now...it feels like it's all HS version.Jeopardy used to be about putting smart people on display. Now they want the viewer to feel just as smart or smarter than the contestants while they play at home, and they've dumbed down the game a lot.
The show is rigged theme occurs here a lot. I keep pointing out that it's against the law, but it still happens.Austin Rogers reacts to a Youtube vid which says that the show might be rigged.
No kidding. I feel like a 5 time champ when watching the celebrity version.Leroy Hoard said:Just wait for the next celeb version. Most of the people in this thread would be runaway winners.
I couldnt tell if that was shtick or if he was just that bad.Can we make sure Jeff Goldblum never reads another Jeopardy question? That was rough.
I can have some sympathy for the woman who said Wrigley--in the heat of the moment, she's thinking "oh, it's that famous old baseball field...." and Wrigley pops into her head. But the guy who then follows up with the logic that "well, if it isn't Wrigley, it must be the other Chicago stadium" was hilarious. Of course he's also the one who thought a Patriots' employee ran out with a lawnmower to help the kicker make a field goal.If you know so little about football that you think the Patriots play in Chicago, why are you making dumb guresses?
Especially when Turd Ferguson is playing.No kidding. I feel like a 5 time champ when watching the celebrity version.
And Minnie Mouse not even making an effort to touch the letters.Wow. Even more painful to watch than Jeff Goldblum reading questions last week is Vanna White filling in for Pat Sajak on Wheel of Fortune. What the hell were they thinking?
I can't imagine she volunteered for that. Pat's job is all about personality and charisma, not feigned excitement. The producers dropped the ball by not bringing in a recognizable face with personality.Pat Sajak had a medical thing and couldn't do it for several episodes. You'd think with 30 years of watching from up close she'd have picked up a few things.
I started laughing when I saw the question - you're talking about my all time favorite TV show!Leroy Hoard said:Easy FJ for me today, but then I'm as old as black and white dirt.
I wouldn't say "easy", but the "Strange" in the title of the music made it one that could be figured out.Leroy Hoard said:Easy FJ for me today, but then I'm as old as black and white dirt.
I got it from the year (it ran from 1959-64) and the "Strange".I wouldn't say "easy", but the "Strange" in the title of the music made it one that could be figured out.
I'll have to check her out and report back. She works at a winery 15 minutes from me.The current champ is on a nice little run. Just under $200k over 7 days.
She's cute to boot.
not cute, Id rather slam the pink haired chic, she probably does more "stuff"The current champ is on a nice little run. Just under $200k over 7 days.

She isn't splashy, that's for sure. But she doesn't panic, either. And she's kind of cute.Leroy Hoard said:Current champ on a steady roll.
Karen Farrell, stats to date:She isn't splashy, that's for sure. But she doesn't panic, either. And she's kind of cute.
We'll have at least a couple of cute women on the ToCs next year. Women have been on a nice run since the school teacher's run ended.She isn't splashy, that's for sure. But she doesn't panic, either. And she's kind of cute.
Actually starts tonight at 8 on ABC. I'm rooting for Rutter.Just saw the add for the game of games. Best of the Best. January 8th.
