Spraynard Kruger posted:Hey, we're finally catching up to the ones I saw taped. My girlfriend will be on Monday's episode, will she be goon cursed by proxy? Tune in and find out! She had the misfortune of being against Matt Jackson, and the other dude was pretty fast on the buzzer. Still a good showing, though.

I wonder how long Matt practiced that smile in front of the mirror? You can't game those dead eyes though.

Welp, your girl couldn't stop the Matt Train. Sorry she had to be sacrificed. Good lord is he good. He's 25/27 on Daily Doubles. Jesus Christ. zakharov fucked around with this message at 04:47 on Oct 13, 2015 |

zakharov posted:Welp, your girl couldn't stop the Matt Train. Sorry she had to be sacrificed. Good lord is he good. Yeah, when he got those two in a row, all the air got sucked out of the room. She had a lot of trouble getting buzzed in, too. The rumor going around was that the usual guy who runs the buzzers was at Burning Man. If anyone else in the thread finds themselves needing to get ready for the show, I tossed my practice game app on GitHub. There are a lot of Jeopardy simulators out there, but I tried a bunch and none of them seemed quite right so I built my own. I'm also pretty sure I wrote the best readme. https://github.com/theGrue/jeopardy

So we're all just in a Turing Test right? Matt is a cybernetic organism living tissue over a metal endoskeleton. Got to be.

Matt looks like he learned to smile after watching videos of other people smile, but doesn't know that you have to move more than just your mouth muscles to make it convincing. Wasn't there a fairly recent goon who was basically the same way? This guy reminds me of him.

It's worth noting that the dude is 23 - all the other superchamps were closer to 30 and had more experience being an adult. Looking normal on national TV is hard.

Between that, and him making handmade birthday cards for his family, I think I finally came around on Matt. Still glad he's gone. Also, someone needs to tell Alex that "Dictator" and "Hero" are two very different things.

This was the last of the ones I saw tape, I got to see a pretty good arc! I'm excited to see how long Michael lasts. I hear the Matt who's up on Friday sounded like a pretty serious competitor.

Mister Kingdom posted:He's like a less elegant Adam Sandler. That's implying that Adam Sandler was ever elegant... Also, not used to seeing short sleeves, even if they're polos, on contestants. Booming voice even on mic was strange as well, shouldn't the guy be more used to microphones since he's a stand up comedian?

It seemed really obvious to me, but then they're my team (and I hate their current name). It probably doesn't help that they suck, so no one thinks about them at all.

Looks like Josh gets to come back for another day of taping. Hopefully, he won't be rocking polos again next week. Just looks really incongruous to me, since I'm used to seeing dudes in suits and such.
