You don't need external interviews to know that; it's super obvious in the show, it's kind of the huge thing about Godspell. If you don't know the show at all, then you'd have to get there from Biblical knowledge, true. But the two-names thing isn't weird and you definitely get that from the show itself.

Never seen Godspell, but if you've read the gospels this was gettable. All I can say is, I would've absolutely cleaned house on these first three games of the season and I'm sitting here like a chump while the time runs out on my eligibility.

zakharov posted:First episode of Sports Jeopardy is up! That was... less than impressive unfortunately. The interview segment is for some reason even longer, and if that wasn't enough there's a post-show interview segment as well. I don't need to know what these guys 'proudest' moments were while competing on Sports Jeopardy.

I really didn't like the "continue" after nearly every clue and the "anybody?" after a player answers wrong or nobody rings in. Not to mention the dumb chauvinistic jokes/comments about that UFC lady. The boxing bell after each round is really hokey. Also not a fan of all the in-show advertising. I get it's a sports trivia show but that doesn't mean we should bring in all of the worst aspects of watching sports.

I just started watching and the look on Dan's face when he makes that dumb comment about not knowing a word the UFC lady said is enough that I'm pretty sure I'm just going to turn this off. If that's how you introduce the show, I can only imagine it gets worse.

Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:Ties own I like ties as much as the next guy. But now that I've been a contestant, I know that also means that someone who was originally called up as part of the next pool of contestants to tape will have to wait an extra day to compete in the best case scenario or even longer if this episode was filmed on a Wednesday, depending on how long it takes for them to get another callback. Maybe they'll call one fewer local alternate to make up for losing a prospective contestant spot for the first episode of the next taping? As for today's Final, I didn't get Darrow, but I might've if I had a little more time to think on it. Was thinking about prominent lawyers of that era, and needed a bit more time to remember Darrow.

I'm watching Sports Jeopardy now and oh my god this is painfully bad. From the terrible announcing that forced dumb sports phrases into anything and everything to only four clues that renders my Normal Jeopardy calculator useless. Also I think Dan Patrick literally gave the middle dude (I never trust a grown man named Pauly) the points on the Buffalo Wild Wings© question when he only answered with Buffalo. Some clues are really weirdly (re: terribly) written and Patrick's casual sexism is totally awesome (and all his jokes were way bad) and somehow way more direct than Trebek has been, as far as I can remember. e2: lmao these guys aren't terribly smart about seemingly obvious things. like "eccentric outfielders who played next to Johnny Damon."

Still, smart betting has the previous champ stay once again, should be interesting to see if she can keep this up.

I guess no one in the game knew when Hitler came to power. The odd thing was I was getting most questions wrong in regular Jeopardy and Final was the easiest one in the game for me. BTW the What Woman Want category on Monday has gotten complaints of sexism instead of the poor product placement complaints it should be getting. http://mashable.com/2014/09/30/jeopardy-what-women-want-sexism/%3F Island Nation fucked around with this message at 14:18 on Oct 1, 2014 |

I missed Final Jeopardy last night because I misunderstood the clue. I thought they meant whoever it was lost power 19 days (or whatever it was) after FDR -came- to power.GhostStalker posted:Did she hit 5 wins? I don't think she did, which is a shame.

It's weird because she had a very solid grasp on the art category where many of the people who came up are often confused for one another. It's interesting how knowledge gaps come about in good trivia/quizbowl/etc players, and how people can be pretty deep in certain topics but oddly bad at others. vvvvv Oh, if that's the case then those questions would've been nothing.

Kind of surprised only one person got Don Quixote. Maybe the "title characters" bit threw them off, but it seemed pretty obvious to me. P. S. Did Jason remind anyone else of Abdullah the Butcher?
