Heres Arthur to ruin the enjoyment out of jeopardy again. Haha at him losing a cool 10,000 thinking he had the final jeopardy in the bag. Can this guy stop giving evil looks to other players and glaring at them when they buzz in first?

I was unhappy with the whole *~*HE'S USING GAME THEORY BY JUMPING AROUND NOBODY EVER DID THIS*~* coverage he was getting but the College Tournament and the AV Club interview (that he solicited but still) won me over. I'm Team Arthur now.

I just wish his mom owned an iron. Maybe he'll drop some of that $100,000+ on one for her.

e: I did like the ugly looks he was giving the female contestant when she had the timing down for buzzing in (as opposed to his button mashing), though.

Guys, find a woman who looks at you the way GhostStalker looks at every bald, obese, single 58 year old accountant from Tulsa who managed to win $4,000 by not wagering on a Final Jeopardy triple stumper.

Speaking with my Jeopardy watching cousin about my upcoming Jeopardy appearance, and he said that the only time that he'd stop rooting for Arthur is if I'm facing him on my own episode. Told him it was unlikely that he'd still be on the show by the time my taping rolls around (in 2 weeks! still so goddamn excited!), but if he was, I'd do my best to take him out, one Asian to another (hopefully I don;t look as goony as he does when I'm on camera).

I actually have another cousin named Arthur Chiu, the last name's pronounced the same. Had a good laugh about that at dinner with him.

Man it's lame as hell when all the remaining clues are for $400-$800 and there's no chance that one of the trailing players will catch up and make Final Jeopardy interesting. Also I was pretty surprised no one got Final Jeopardy. The clue was a bit vague but it wasn't too hard to work out.

e: Sofi started so strong but holy poo poo as soon as she missed that Daily Double she just fell apart.

I live in Vancouver, but my cable gets me the channel from Halifax, so I actually get Jeopardy on at like 3:30pm PST, which is earlier than most.

Of course I just record it and watch it with dinner so it's kind of pointless for me, but that's how it happens.

I get Jeopardy at 3:30 central on the Oklahoma City affiliate and at 4:30 on the Tulsa affiliate if I miss the first showing.

Same in Boston, it's the perfect after work combo. I kinda wish there was a Wheel thread sometimes cause yesterday due to the order of letters being picked they ended up with POPSICLE STICK SHI T on the board. The 'f' was guessed last.

I have Jeopardy at 7:00 and Wheel of Fortune at 7:30; we usually watch Jeopardy then switch over to a Friends rerun at 7:30 if we're waiting to watch something at 8 or 8:30.

Just catching up. So proud that I got John Brown when Arthur didn't!!! First name that popped into my head, almost immediately. Wouldn't have mattered since it was a runaway.

John Brown popped right into my head as well, but William Lloyd Garrison was a pretty good guess as far as wrong answers go.

When I was in college, we had an NBC affiliate that did Jeopardy! at 7 and Wheel at 7:30, and we also had an ABC affiliate that aired them reversed. If you were particularly bored, you could watch Jeopardy!, then find someone watching the second run and blow their mind.

I once used the thread to blow my girlfriends mind when one of you who watches it much earlier said what the answer to final was. Don't remember the question but it was one of the tough ones.

It is a good guess but I was still annoyed by the evidence that not many know of America's greatest hero, John Brown.

They actually gave Arthur a run for his money there, at least until he got on his buzzer hot streak.

He also got away with a wrong answer. There's no such thing as the NYFD, it's called the FDNY.
