zakharov posted: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. Andrew and Ben had play styles really similar to Arthur Chu. My money's on the three of them for the last round.

I don't think any of those champions haven't heard about and considered Arthur's strategy and possible counters by now. I think/hope that this tournament's style of play is going to be pretty different from the norm.

Julia vs. Arthur has a clear moral outcome. Like Jennings vs. Rutter or Humanity vs. Watson.

Ken "There's nothing sadder than a hot girl in a wheelchair" Jennings is probably the only real rear end. Rutter is okay other than his silly acting/showrunning aspirations.

Not Jeopardy! but kinda Jeopardy! related, Ken Jennings will be playing Who Wants To Be A Millionaire this coming week. I wonder if he'll get hosed over on the Ask The Audience lifeline, or win it all.

Fun to see ToC material again. But come on, showing pictures of Dick Cheney and Silvio Berlusconi and asking who they are? This isn't kids week! Really want a Ben/Arthur/Julia final.

Andrew annoyed the poo poo out of me WAY more than Arthur ever did when they made their initial runs so I'm glad I don't have to see him again.

Julia nooooo! I mean she could still advance as a wild card but it sucks to lose on a headslapper. Jboarders are correctly pointing out that she should have bet 0. 16k would almost certainly be enough to advance. zakharov fucked around with this message at 04:50 on Nov 13, 2014 |

Yeah, she's a wild card lock. There won't be four higher non-winning scores.

So it wasn't just me either... Really low scoring game here, though I thought the Final was cake. Drew bombed out in Double, which was a shame, though there were a couple of clues that I knew that stumped everyone else which could've saved him for Final. Don't remember being annoyed with Terry's voice during the College Championship (I don't even remember the College Championship where she played), but it was kinda annoying to me yesterday. Unfortunately, I've missed every episode of the Tournament of Champions this week save for yesterday's because of getting home late from class and other places, even though I wanted to see Arthur clean up and other champions try and unseat him. I'll probably miss tonight's too due to getting home late from a job thing pretty far off by subway. Oh well, I'll try and catch the semi-finals and finals next week, hopefully. I'll be able to use j-archive and here to determine who made it the final cut into semi-finalists, after all, once I get back.

Everyone's a winner in Friday's game! Yaaaaaayyyyyyy  Here are the semifinal matchups courtesy of The Final Wager. If we get a Chulia showdown it'll have to be in the final.  I'm rooting for Julia but it would be kinda cool to have a college champ make it to the final. The third semi is really stacked.
