Ugh http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/14/living/parenting-top-baby-names-2013 I actually find it weird Edward isn't on the list. Of course, Jacob is, so there you go. But yeah, Isbella is #1 for girls. And the past few years:    What do these poor kids do when their friends ask them what/who they're named after? I hope every one of them eventually reads those lovely books, realized how terrible they are, and starts going by their middle name, or just some name they make up. Christ, I hate my generation.

"Ethan" "Logan" "Mason" "Jayden" Those are all terrible names. The worst name though is Cody (sorry to anybody on here). Most of the girls names are alright thought. Can't believe Sophia is number one though.

And in tonight's show the girl in the middle was pissed during final jeopardy. When the dude on the right got the question right you could see her roll her eyes and look pissed.

Our preferred method of ringing in was for two people to touch alternate bars and then one to slap the back of the other person's head to complete the electrical circuit.

What an awkward episode. First, Tori Amos showed up and her conversation topic had nothing to do with her name (assuming she's 16, she would have been born in 1996 or 1997, when Tori Amos was quite well known), which annoyed me. Then, you had the terrible bidding and no winner. Crazy.

That was the best episode of Jeopardy I have ever seen. I can't believe that bidding at the end, what the hell. Nobody won, nobody from that game will advance like it never happened.The Human Cow posted:Dang, what happened? I watched regular and double Jeopardy on the treadmill at the gym and left right before Final. Everybody bet max, got the answer wrong. Because of the rules, if there is a tie the loser with the most money from all rounds get to advance with the winners; hence nobody from that round will advance since they all had $0. It was glorious. Whooping Crabs fucked around with this message at 02:11 on Feb 8, 2013 |

The Human Cow posted:Dang, what happened? I watched regular and double Jeopardy on the treadmill at the gym and left right before Final. Everyone bid everything on Final Jeopardy and got the answer wrong. Tournament rules say that instead of playing another game, like in normal three-way ties, instead everyone from this game is eliminated and the third slot in the finals will be filled by the highest-scoring player from the other two semi-final games. So yeah, it's like this game never happened. It was awesome. e: beaten like all three of those kids

The Human Cow posted:Dang, what happened? I watched regular and double Jeopardy on the treadmill at the gym and left right before Final. In addition to what everyone else said, I didn't think the question was that hard ("name a capital city with peace walls between its Protestant and Catholic neighborhoods", they all went for Dublin instead of Belfast.) How did the non-winners from yesterday bet? Did they both end up with nothing or close to nothing as well? The Jeopardy Archive site doesn't have that game yet.

I was pretty positive it was Dublin (yes I know in hindsight that I am an idiot) but who the hell doesn't save at least $1? Especially the guy who was pretty decently in the lead; he could've bet conservatively to have twice the closest amount of money + $1 and still been fine. The best part of the episode was probably Trebek not being remotely flustered by the tie, but just turning straight to the camera: "  these guys"

Honestly, I thought Dublin too. But I didn't know the capital of Northern Ireland so I wouldn't have done well either. But I would have only bet 8k. These kids have no idea how wagering on the show works.

I'm not normally amazed by how ignorant people are, especially young people, especially young Americans in regards to anything that happens outside our borders. But seriously, how do you get on Jeopardy! and not one of them knows about Northern Ireland? Or how to properly bet during final Jeopardy? Awesome, America. The future is lookin' bright.
