Roger Craig is the dude who wrote himself an app to identify his weaknesses and drill himself. He's real tough. Also he's very mean and won't share his app.

At least the final was good this time. Stumped everyone, including me (I also guessed dates.)

And yeah that is definitely considered a silent b in catacomb. Just like the b is silent in comb itself. Jeopardy would have never slipped up on something like that.

Man, it's gotta suck to make it into the decade tournament, only to have to go up against Jennings or Burnett straight away. It's like being #32 seed on a brakcet.

It sucked a lot more for Mike Dupee. A ToC Champion and arguably the best Jeopardy player of the last millenium and he gets Brad Rutter in the first round.

Meanwhile, ToC winners Robin Caroll and Rachael Schwartz get Bob Harris/Shane Whitlock/Babu Srinivasan/Eddie Timanus.

Oh and as Spiderman said, there's much more to fear about Roger Craig than Ken and Colby.

drat, your Jeopardy comes on early.

I know it's syndicated, but just about everywhere I've lived or traveled to it's 7 or 7:30. I think once I saw it at 6.

Both of the female contestants tonight are driving me crazy with the way the answer. It sounds like they have no confidence whatsoever, it's grating.

Also how do you mind that softball DJ answer in the first round?

Amy is just SUPER awkward. Is this a trend in Jeopardy, now? People who, while clearly very smart and great on the buzzer, have the personality of a slightly damp sponge?

And Julia just had this weird look of concern on her face with every answer...and even every time picked a question. She gave every answer as an actual question...that is to say, with no confidence and like she was actually asking Trebeck if she had the right answer.

I want to make a gameshow where if you answer like you don't know and you're just guessing, you lose points, even if your answer is right.

Have confidence, drat it! Be assertive in your answers, even if they're wrong!
