Like the episode played yesterday with the response of "Waitin For Godot". I always thought it was just judge's discretion on degree of misspelling but phonetics is the literal rule according to contestants that have commented (or the misspelling is inconsistent to the category like "starts with A"). Most Jeopardy answers are proper nouns anyway.

So besides Ken Jennings whose twitter account speaks for itself, Colby has to be the coolest Jeopardy contestant in recent memory right? At least tied with that black kid who won the Teen Tournament like a boss.

The only way that finale of the teen tournament would have been if he hosed up and wagered too much, and crashed and burned while being smug about it.

Ogmius815 posted:You know I'd been wondering about that. That really sucked, she clearly just forgot to write the "g". Yeah, she got in a hurry and left 1 letter off. I recall at least 2 occasions where the correct response was "All Quiet on the Western Front" and the contestant got dinged for "Alls Quiet..." It is unfortunate, but as long as it's consistent, I don't have a problem with it. I do think that allowing misspellings that don't change the phonetic pronunciation of the answer are a sensible compromise, though. It's strict without being overly punitive.

Can we go one episode ONE episode where there isn't a question or whole topic devoted to religion?

Religion has a long history of influence in everything from scholastics to art to music to exploration to conflict to you name it. It also has a long history of influential events and historical persons, which fits rather well in the context of a brainy television quiz show.

Yeah, unfortunately, religion is a huge part of our history and cultural heritage. It makes sense for it to show up a lot.

One episode from this year's Tournament of Champions had a category about Al Gore. A friend used this as an opportunity to make known his feelings about the show's covert liberal bias. Everybody else laughed at him and changed the subject. EDIT: The dude was being serious. We laughed even harder. Gene Hackman Fan fucked around with this message at 05:11 on Aug 16, 2013 |

I can't decide if Barrett is more likely to become a murderer or a sex-scandal politician. Maybe both. During sex tourism "diplomatic mission" in Asia, murders his underage prostitute.

Sadly, Barrett's voice was not loud enough to un-preempt Jeopardy, in favor of this SF-SD preseason football game.

After Final jeopardy, the camera switches and although the winning outcomes are the same, the answers are different (the champion's said "What is Kitty Hawk, NC?"). Do they do fake Final Jeopardy for certain shots or something? I couldn't figure out what was going on....

The new set bothers me way more than it should because when the camera is focused on the contestants while they're waiting for someone to ring in, it's at a slight angle instead of looking at them straight on.

I was excited tonight to see a category I knew I'd go all-in for for Final Jeopardy. I was surprised that none of the three got Firefox, but I suppose Chrome has kinda eclipsed it as the default browser people use instead of IE. I also did a lot better in the Georgia O'Keefe category than I thought I would. That one about groups of nations/territories killed me, though.

My ex-girlfriend from high school was on Jeopardy last night, which was pretty funny to see. I couldn't believe nobody got Firefox. I knew it instantly.

Being an IT guy, I try to remember that I might have a disproportionately good knowledge of "nerdy" stuff, but I thought Firefox was relatively mainstream (and the first animal-named program I can think of other than MacOS X versions). I recall the players the other day doing pretty well at the iOS/Android app category, though.

To celebrate their 30 year anniversary, Jeopardy is apparently having a fan favorites tournament. Remember, it's important not just to vote Jennings, but to not vote for Rutter.

Jennings and Rutter are both automatically in. The voting is to fill one spot per decade, with five choices for each. Vote for Ryan! He's a wonderful, funny, goony guy who was in the Tournament of Champions with me and lost way too early. Don't let the woman who said "What is a threesome" win! You can vote on the website, on Facebook, and on Twitter by posting "Ryan #JeopardyVote" (or whichever player's name, but really you should vote for Ryan).
