"S" words category? I love you, Jeopardy writers. SNL Celebrity Jeopardy references ahoy! And Kinky Boots for the Final Jeopardy question involving Hymns from the champion? It was good for a laugh at least, and Alex thought so too. Didn't need to get it right either. I had no idea, I'm generally terrible at Finals involving religion...

I'm watching 500 Questions on ABC. It seems pretty terrible but College Jeopardy darling Pam Mueller just showed up as a contestant. That was a nice surprise.

I want to like 500 Questions but there's like fifteen seconds of expository dialogue for every five seconds of question and answer. Contestant strategy talk is one thing but I can only listen to hearing how a Top Ten Challenge works so many times.

They're speeding up a bit as the show progresses, at least. I also like how the "geniuses" for the most part sarcastically respond to Quest's attempts to be intimidating.

From what jboard was saying, there were a bunch more Jeopardy names who were invited to do that show. EDIT: Megan was a former Jeopardy contestant as well, although she didn't win a large amount of money or make it to a tournament. She won 3 games back in 2011, which I totally forgot that the host announced when she was introduced. Steve is also a jboard regular, but hasn't actually been on the show.

Per his Twitter, he was invited. He just couldn't spare a week for taping. Womp womp.

My wife (Kate) was on last night's show! I think she did alright, Dan was just in the zone with the buzzer in DJ. FJ was ludicrously difficult, though. Dan got it but I saw he said on Reddit that it was more luck than anything else since others have come up with 2 other sets of governors that are consecutive alphabetically, but who weren't prosecutors.

FJ was an instaget for me, since it's almost impossible to turn on a TV here without a commercial with Christie or Cuomo pushing some education thing on you, or people against them showing up on the air. Cuomo used to be our AG before he made it to the governor's mansion (I think I voted for him all 3 times, since the Republican alternatives were worse) and Christie was mentioned as a former federal prosecutor on NPR during all of their copious Bridgegate coverage here recently. Your wife did pretty good, Dan was unfortunately just better...

drat, too bad Ivan lost, he's a friend of mine. I'm just sad he won't get to tell more stories like the rope ladder one--he's got some good ones. That said, he did get the chance to go on Jeopardy and risk everything on a clue, which is basically the Holy Grail of our group of friends, so congrats to him

Also, I think Autumn is the first active duty military person in a while who hasn't taped their episode of Jeopardy (or other major game show) in their dress uniform... She was a Major in the Marines, right? Guessed FJ at as time was abut to expire. Also, $99,999 in winnings for Dan? What an exact number...

A screw is a wedge twisted into a helix I had a larger bone to pick with the 404 question as URLs haven't referred exclusively to files for a long time (for maximum pedantry the HTTP spec doesn't refer to files either, it's just a general "I don't have what you asked for" condition). haveblue fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Jun 1, 2015 |

Looks like Randy bet way too big on that Daily Double. Canadian Cities was just not his category. Dan continues to bet big or nothing at all on Final when he really doesn't need to, and it continues to pay off. Still, it's probably gonna bite him in the rear end eventually.

I mean, I kind of understand why he bet big on that DJ, but he had NO idea about Canadian geography at all. He didn't name a single city that was even in the right province, except for Moose Jaw and that one was really a gimmie.

I don't think he even got Moose Jaw right, even as a if it was a gimme, since he was too deep in the red for it even to have mattered...

Double post, but Dan finally crashes and burns with his Final Jeopardy betting strategy. He'll probably be in the Tournament of Champions, though. I had no idea on the FJ clue, nothing came to me in time. That was a strange reversal on the obesity clue. I really dunno why autism would be accepted...
