That kreplach/knish thing was kinda suspicious to me, they're 1000% different, and basically any hungry Jew had to know knish is what they were referring to. If I wasn't so hungry for either one of them myself, I'd be angrier about that reversal.

I somehow managed to pull "divine" out of my rear end for tonight's Final. It was a tough one. I think people are already howling about the winner's wager. edit: Ben-Hur is the best name on Jeopardy in awhile though. zakharov fucked around with this message at 01:47 on Jul 15, 2014 |

Flagrant Abuse posted:That was an embarrassingly easy final. I usually measure difficulty by whether or not I know it (unless it's one of the incredibly obscure things I know, like the Don Drysdale/RFK one from last month) and I thought of Surgeon General almost immediately, so yes, it was far too easy

ABC in New York preempted Jeopardy for an additional half hour of their Nightly News because of the Ukraine jet shoot down and crash, but they aired it at 7:30 instead, pushing Wheel to late night. Good to see the people doing scheduling have their priorities straight... Easy as cake Final again. I could see how someone might pick the wrong name, though. I thought of Galileo first, before remembering that Copernicus was first to claim the heliocentric theory but had to repent.

I went with Copernicus but I had no more reason to choose him than the other two.

HookShot posted:The way the clue was written the answer was pretty obviously "guy who figured out the earth goes around the sun and not the other way around" which makes it pretty obvious which one of the three it is. Well yeah Copernicus was the first heliocentrist but the other two were also active in the 16th century and are strongly associated with heliocentrism so it would be an easy mistake to make.

Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:Nice suit, Winston. His suit owns and I won't hear a word against it. My game today did not own. I don't know poo poo about Madonna or art, and that knocked out 2 categories for me (got 1 in each). I also only got 1 right in the "V"ocabulary category which was annoying since I usually own those. Teen tournament next week, hooray! Then the summer hiatus, boo.

Cool things from the past few days: 1) I got Friday's final, thus giving me the first 5/5 week in Finals that I can remember. 2) I had my Sports Jeopardy audition on Saturday, and passed the test! Going to copy/paste my JBoard post for anyone curious. quote:Just got back from my NYC audition. Was anyone else there? I was Jake in the blue checkered jacket.

And if I did a daily video on betting, I'd probably get annoyed when someone muffed such an obvious bet. His reaction wasn't even that bad, compared to some of the folks on Jboard. As for tonight's show...poor Josiah. Cat and Cooper are both really good, but he just would not stop guessing. Cat really should have bet 0 on Final to have a better shot at a wild card.

I had a friend over for a couple of weeks and it was hilarious when we'd watch Jeopardy because she would get so attached to certain contestants, and whenever someone would make a big wager in a DD or final she would squeal and go "OH MY GOD LOOK HOW MUCH MONEY THEY LOST/WON!!!" and it was basically hilarious because my husband and I just watch it for the questions, and never really thought about the wagers that way.
