How many 62 year old women is Alex voice-loving with this "Sexy" category? Methinks he's vying for the role of Christian Gray.

I like this old dude. He's ballsy, he's smart (really liked him going for the $400 questions at the end to protect his lead), he watches Sunny, and he looks like James Brolin

Why why why would you ever bet everything? That $1 is often the difference between that $1000.

The real question is why he didn't literally bet everything on a Daily Double in the $800 value spot in DJ on a category about the planets. There are only eight of them, and Jeopardy only asks for a very few things about any of them! He may have had the two weakest competitors ever, or just great buzzer timing, because he is not impressive.

Just had an audition with Jeopardy last Wednesday. Did well enough on the online test to be asked to show up for the in person audition and interview, and I think I did well enough on it. Just showing up for the audition and filling out a form with all of your information is enough to be included in their prospective contestant pool. Jeopardy is apparently currently in between seasons, and they won't be filming new episodes until late July/early August, so I won't know if I will be on the show for a while, but the producers/contestant search people said that if I don't hear from them by this time next year, then I should try again. They need 400 or so people for the season, and they said that they had done 2 days of auditions with 3 sessions each before the day I had mine, my session having had 16 people in it, so that's a little less than 150 people that I figure they added to the pool in New York, with people from my interview session coming from as far as Washington DC and Boston. Guessing at the number of other audition sites they have across the country, I think that's about a little less than 1000 people total in their contestant pool? That would put my chances at around 40% or so. Still, crossing my fingers that I actually am able to make it on the show and make some money.

Man, I have never screamed at the Jeopardy screen before. But when they couldn't even guess first degree murder (or even second degree) on "killing while carjacking"... in the "degree" category... I was just like "KILLING DURING THE COMMISSION OF A FELONY IS 1ST DEGREE, YOU MOTHERFUCKERS!" The only category that was hard was the web music parody bullshit.

The contestants in general have been so loving stupid the last couple weeks. One of the episodes before the College tourney final Jeopardy was basically "name a country in the south pacific" (near the international date line). One contestant picked Seychelles, which is literally I'm going to guess ONE HOUR in front of Greenwich, and about as far from the IDL as you can get, and the other answered Antilles, which ISN'T EVEN A GOD DAMNED COUNTRY and is also not even close to the date line.

That kid made some crazy movies that ended up working out for him. Also, Himmler was the best guess ever.  If I had enough money where I wouldn't have to risk anything, I'd write something like who is "Paul F. Tompkins" or something like that.
