More amazed that the military professor dude missed the Daily Double on Antietam. Sure, he's not teaching military history, but I would've thought that someone who teaches Army officers at Ft. Leavenworth would know something about the Civil War... Another tie too, which was pretty cool. Wanted both those guys to win, so I'm happy.

Doesn't the delay start small, then get bigger over the season as the backlog of episodes pile up? I forget how it works.

They start taping in late July, early August and do a week of episodes in a day, two days a week. So since the new season started in like the middle of September, the delay was only a month and a half or so. When I did my taping back in the middle of March this year, I had to wait 3 and a half months to the end of June for my episode to air. So yeah, the delay does grow.

I know Dan, I used to play pub trivia with him (or, against him). I have no idea why he would choose such a weird story or be so nervous about it, he seemed like a chill guy.

MSN is running a video from HuffPo calling it one of the longest and most awkward interview segments ever: http://on-msn.com/1r4iJo7 Also, Dan seemed to fall into the same trap that I did at the end of the game, trying to answer too much and getting burned on it...

Haha, he explained on fb that his weird story was actually an 'embarrassing moment' that he put down on his sheet, and didn't expect it to be asked about it on the show. Yeah, looks like he got a bit ambitious at the end there.

The weirdest story I've ever seen is still the guy who felt the need to tell everyone about his bed wetting. I mean, hey, there's nothing wrong with that, but your first time on Jeopardy and that's what you go with. The only video I can find about it is some promo thing recorded off the tv: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoE50ExYbe8 EDIT: Ha, just saw that I've mentioned it before.

Yeah, it's Alex's choice about which of the three prompts he wants to ask you about, but you do go over the prompts in the Green Room with a Contestant Coordinator when they're checking to see if you've filled out your paperwork correctly, and you do get to note your preference. Guess he just wasn't ready for Alex to ask him about that...

The Jboard nerds say that longstanding rules allow lyrics as a stand in for song titles as long as they contain the title. I did not know this.

But there's no restaurant called "Goodbye Ruby Tuesday." I don't know enough about what's usually allowed but I definitely got the feeling that shouldn't count.

The clue specifically asked for the song, and that was close enough under Jeopardy rules.

Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:I'm officially tired of Jeopardy ties So you do you get episodes aired earlier than the rest of us or something? And yes, two ties in a week are kinda ridiculous. Also, it might just be me picking nits here, but it's the "New York Public Library" not the city library, but that's just me being an elitist New Yorker. And almost missing a Daily Double because you failed to answer in the form of a question, but catching it at the last minute was a nice save, it would've sucked if she did get it wrong because of that. She also almost missed that Hawk clue because she answered Tony Hawk instead, but corrected herself at the last minute. GhostStalker fucked around with this message at 05:45 on Oct 31, 2014 |

Not much else to say when you cross out the correct answer and replace it with something that's stated in the question. Though I'll admit my first guess on this was Washington, since my brain only saw FDR as most prolific appointer.

The Tournament of Champions beginning next week has to be one of the most anticipated in awhile. You've got the returns of Julia and Arthur, along with many other strong champions. Off the top of my head, I remember Sandie and Ben being especially formidable. Here's your matchups. Go Arthur, hail Satan, etc
