zakharov posted:And why why why WHY would you bet $200 on a Daily Double when you're down by a lot and Alex has said there's less than a minute to go? Even if she'd gotten it right, she would have no chance of winning. BET TO WIN Just out of curiosity, how many days are we since the last male winner? Surely I'm incorrect, but it seems like women have been dominating since Arthur's reign.

Julia is amazing, but man does her job sound boring. Also, yet another timid late DD bet that erased any chance a contestant might have had of winning.

I saw the first two contestants on today's show before I saw Julia and thought it was a Kid's Jeopardy day.

It has to be frustrating to know so many of the answers and always get beat. His fault, but I don't think the guy was a shithead or anything like that.

Julia is great, and watching her dominate the competition never gets old. Still, I kinda already know how many games she'll wind up winning, due to an aforementioned comment from the head Contestant Coordinator, but it is still fun watching the ride and finding out how much she'll eventually win. 15 games and over $314,000 right now, and she's still crushing the competition every time handily.

That is two straight complete beatdowns for Julia. Her opponents weren't bad either, as we could see when they managed to ring in.

Sorry if this is looked down upon, but does anyone have a link to that clip where the contestants gently caress up an answer about Apocalypse Now and Alex stares at them for a brief second completely disgusted? I can't find it anywhere. It was hilarious.

The person answers superman today for the Three Doors Down question when it was in the clue and in the song played??? They can't have cherry picked bad contenders for Julia to face because all her opponents were already picked before she started playing. And a contestant going for an answer without fully processing the clue is just something that happens from time to time; it doesn't necessarily mean the person is stupid (is Roger Craig stupid because he guessed "Lake Manitoba" on a critical Daily Double in the BotD final when the clue said the lake was fully contained in one province but shared the name of a city?). Since the other clues in that category all had names of superheroes as the responses, the contestant probably had it in her mind that the response would be a superhero's name and quickly identified the superhero in question without fully comprehending the rest of the clue.

Part of the problem when you get as far along as Julia has is that the challengers, even the smart ones, take chances they otherwise wouldn't because the streak makes them think they need to. Granted, often times they need to, but there's a mental aspect to this where challengers impede their own progress more than they should. At the end of the day, you're just seeing the elite of the elite play the game and it's making contestants who might otherwise have been really good look dumb.

Overaggression because of being intimidated by another player's reputation. Also called "Roger Craig-ing". edit: No lie, was hoping the guy stayed in the red and Julia would advance to Final Jeopardy all by herself. jscolon2.0 fucked around with this message at 00:23 on May 28, 2014 |

Literature is one of the most common Jeopardy subjects, up there with Shakespeare, world capitals, and presidents. Please go read something, anything, about the quiz show scandals and all the precautions game shows take to avoid anything resembling funny business.

First off, I've gone from disliking Julia during her first few games to thinking she's one of my favorite players ever (and she makes my pants feel funny). Second - she broke 10K at the first commercial break?! That's utterly insane. I got the feeling she purposely took her foot off the peddle down the stretch to let her competition get out of the red. Either way, I loved Arthur and I hope and expect Julia to mop the floor with him at this point. Her knowledge base seems miles deeper. edit: GhostStalker, I'm super excited for your appearance but drat I wish you hadn't let the cat out of the bag on this one.
