Wow. I never expected to see this tiny place I live in being a clue on Jeopardy! (I live within walking distance of Squam Lake). And yet, it was the only New Hampshire clue I got wrong.

Never seen Alex react so much to a Final Jeopardy category reveal before, but I guess the contestant interview bit of one of the challengers about having a huge book collection about the Civil War was coincidental enough for him to say so. Too bad she didn't have a big enough lead and the question was easy enough for everyone to get it and for the champ to walk away with a pretty big payday, but not as much as Matt was pulling in game after game... The answer really is obvious if you think about it, and seeing as how all three contestants got it right, they thought so as well. At least no one is bitching about how she had an advantage or something, though I guess some people would feel that way if she had won because of others missing Final. I guess Sullivan Compliance didn't think it was that much of an advantage for her if they didn't throw out that question, though I dunno if they have access to the contestant interview stories. They probably do, just to make sure that the game is fair and all that. Really wish they would've gotten to the last question in the Hologram category in Double Jeopardy. Kinda wanted to see what it would be about. It seems to be too late to reference the Tupac hologram at Coachella that deep into the category as that would be an instant gimme clue when thinking about holograms to the average person, so I wonder if they would've referenced Crypton's Vocaloids, especially Hatsune Miku, and either her concerts employing hologram projection (maybe her New York and LA ones in October of last year or her numerous ones in Japan) or her appearance on Letterman a little more than a year ago just before that, or something like that. Yes, I went to that concert in New York last year and spent a tenth of my winnings for the ticket and merch there, what of it? GhostStalker fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Oct 23, 2015 |

Another coincidental final category. There would definitely have been complaints if she won. Instead, the game went to the stoned white dude who flashed the Wu Tang sign after he won.

Big True Daily Double bet near the end of Double Jeopardy today that did not pay off for our now former champ. Oh well. At least one of the Final Jeopardy answers was funny and Alex called her on it. Calling liberals pansies... Nice. Also, I found it a coincidence that that contestant works at NPR doing All Things Considered, and a contestant yesterday said in his interview segment that he loves listening to old time radio serials on an NPR broadcast in his area. Wonder if they talked about it in the Green Room when the contestants were getting to know one another... GhostStalker fucked around with this message at 03:42 on Oct 24, 2015 |

Wasn't paying that much attention to the show as I was unsuccessfully trying to split my attention between it and my computer and wasn't really thinking about it that hard, so I drew a blank. Still, it looks like Sean might make the next ToC that starts in a week and a half, if the cutoff is right up to that game, especially if he wins another game tomorrow. Right now, according to the Jeopardy website's official ToC tracker, the person on the bubble looks to be Michael Bilow, who only won 3 games but has more money that Sean. He's already pushed the alternate at the end of that list, Darren Harris-fein, off, having won more money than him. Looks to be an interesting run up to the TOC this year... Also, surprised that no one commented on Tom, who was at the rightmost podium yesterday. Apparently, the internet chattering classes thought that he was either hot, hilarious, or a douche for his expressions, reactions, seemingly staring out at a strange angle during Final (he was looking at the display above the camera that shows scores to the contestants), his sideways stance on the podium, and only answering "What" to Final Jeopardy (not knowing that Maggie tells you to write the "What/Who is" part of your response during the commercial break before you wager, in order to make sure you don't forget it, and it looks like Tom couldn't think of anything else during the 30 seconds). Looks like he fell apart during Double Jeopardy after he missed a couple of clues and never really recovered... Keith Williams of the Final Wager was decidedly upset at the NY Mag piece on it and others, apparently... And dipping back to the Friday Final, with the NPR producer answering "pansy" for that Flowers clue apparently has conservative media congratulating her for that response when the video of Final divorced from context started making the rounds, eventually going viral. When the video was posted to Jeopardy's Facebook page, it quickly devolved into the usual partisan bickering you find anywhere that discusses politics. Apparently, people think she was trying to stick it to liberals or something, and don't realize she works for NPR? I dunno. All Things Considered ran a story with her yesterday too, where she tried to set the record straight, but some partisan hacks are still congratulating her for insulting liberals as if it was on purpose...

So I guess I spoke too soon regarding Sean making the ToC seeing as how he lost today. Not enough money to knock Michael Bilow out of the running either. Oh well.

Looks like he knew Final too, from what Alex was saying. Real shame of him to crash and burn so drat spectacularly there... Went seriously into the negatives on the first category in Jeopardy, and never quite recovered until right near the end of Double, then dropped back into the negatives again on the last clue... zVxTeflon posted:"Maybe you should switch to the $200 clues instead" was the sickest burn ive heard from Alex in a while.

He did know the final, in the bit afterwards when Alex awkwardly stands on stage with the contestants which my husband always watches for some reason they had Damien and he held up his little Djibouti piece of paper. That was painful to watch. Like seriously, STOP loving GUESSING poo poo

Marcus looks like he belongs on a poster for the Nazis. Also the writers were obviously on crack today, the main character of the Blacklist is Raymond Reddington not Red Reddington (though his nickname is Red) and Labrador is not in north-eastern Canada, it's in eastern Canada
