It's a trivia show effected by the contestants personalities, theres no right or wrong here unless you don't miss the effect Jennifer's personality had on Alex.

The other five must have been worse Actually, in the Green Room, the Contestant Coordinators go over the three stories they picked from the five prompts plus 20+ background questions they ask you to fill out when you submit your paperwork prior to going on the show that they put on the card with all your info on it that goes to Alex during the interview portion. You get to tell Robert (who was the Contestant Coordinator who went over them with me) which of the three is your preference for Alex to talk about during that segment, although they stress that it is his decision to make which of the prompts he asks you about. Still, he usually goes for the one you indicate you wanna talk about first, so this lady did somehow think that snow globes was the most interesting thing she could talk about...

Guess that's why Scott just wrote BYU instead. Got that one off a wild rear end guess, since that was the only major university in the West off the top of my head that referenced some sort of important religious figure. Guess he didn't want to get burned like when he answered Sharpova, dropping the second "a" in the second syllable, and changing the pronunciation of her name. Was sure they were gonna change that after they got back from commercial, since it sounded wrong to me and my captioning had the answer italicized when Scott said it, which they never do for answers, if they're correctly rules right or wrong. This one was an anomaly, so I guess they needed to draw attention to it somehow or something like that... Anywho, Scott's on a pretty big roll right now. Good for him!

Yeah I said "BYU" for the same reasons, and I would've written "BYU" because it's faster to write.

I'm surprised that both challengers missed Iceland... I guess the safe $1000 bet pays off for Scott. Might've been a good chance to dethrone Scott, but looks like he's gonna be going to the ToC. He started out slow, and both of the challengers had a chance to take it going into Final, what with those scores, but both of them miffed Final, so that's that... My cousin did the week long layover in Reykjavik a couple months back, and told me it was amazing. Guess I'll just have to live vicariously through him...

Welp, the comments from the peanut gallery on the Jeopardy Facebook page are blowing up again over Scott being credited with a correct response to tonight's Final Jeopardy question... I can see where some of them are coming from (as he put an incorrect name for the airline, instead of the country in question), but a whole lot of people are just being ridiculous and letting the world know of their ignorance. People there were already complaining about yesterday's Final Jeopardy question (and penalizing a challenger for adding an "n" to the middle of Brigham Young, while Scott just used BYU instead), and this just poured more gasoline to the fire of the complainers... And I thought that Scott beating Jennifer would end all the comments on that page, since a lot of people there disliked her dancing. Guess I was just hoping too much... Ugh, people take things way too seriously and think they can affect something that taped over 3 months ago or something... Guess I'm glad I stopped reading those comments as closely after the whole Justice Anthony Kennedy gay marriage celebratory clue on their page and people attacking the show over them posting and celebrating it.

It is kind of dumb someone gets it wrong for adding an extra n (I know people that even say it like it has an N in it) and then it asks for country and he names an airline and even gets that wrong. he still woulda won though. And it's nowhere near as bad as somehow putting Belgium for the answer what the gently caress.

He's awful too don't get me wrong (any sane person doesn't watch the interviews so i got no idea what you're talking about i just hate people that hold out the buzzer and loudly click it) he also got final jeopardy wrong but they gave it to him which is shameful poo poo though they've done that before http://fikklefame.com/final-jeopardy-11-7-14/ She aint funny tho.

Were I a judge I would not have given it to him, but it really doesn't matter if he was wrong or not, he still would have won. If Jeopardy! wants to give him extra cash, that's on them. E: And I know I said this already, basically, but literally any country other than Belgium would have been more correct than what the other two said. Hell, even the moon would make more sense. 3 Action Economist fucked around with this message at 01:54 on Jul 27, 2015 |

Riptor posted:not just that but the fact that they only cut to him maybe a third as often as usual Yeah, I noticed that as well. During the first commercial break, they cut to a shot of the contestant guest seating area instead of Alex. Also, a summer cold? This episode was likely taped in Late April/early May, so I guess it was a spring cold instead, but they need to keep up the illusion that episodes are recorded once a day. The dubbing was still kinda weird though, especially when it suddenly seemed to get louder sometimes as he said a new line or when his voice seemed to from scratchy to normal and back during the contestant interview segments, and right before they had that caption saying that Alex rerecorded his voiceovers this episode. Spelling in Final bites Scott big this time after a couple of calls that went his way in Final last week. I think I would've made the same mistake with the omitted syllable as well; Scheherazade is kinda tough to spell, and when I tried to write it off the top of my head, I did get it wrong in the same way, writing Scherazade. Welp, he'll be back for the ToC at least, and a little over $100k is not a bad payday for a day's worth of taping... Might've continued on if he had spelled the Final answer right, but I guess Suzanne was lucky that he didn't. She ran Double Jeopardy, I don't think Scott was able to get a word in edgewise that round. The other challenger missing both Daily Doubles that round also hurt him quite a bit there, eh might've made it a closer game if that hadn't happened, and it was a shame it turned out that way. He looked defeated going into Final... Speaking of the new champ, was it just my TV or does she have blue hair? GhostStalker fucked around with this message at 06:30 on Jul 28, 2015 |

CaligulaKangaroo posted:Gotta keep kayfabe, brother. Yup, I get that. Sometimes they do a piss poor job of it though. And since the show is syndicated and has stated a couple times before that the episodes are taped 5 to a day on its Facebook page, along with all the former contestants who can tell people how the show tapes, I would imagine that most people who watch the show know that the episodes are done ahead of time. The whole after dubbing thing they did with Alex Trebek today would clue some other people who weren't aware in as well.
