Joke's on him, his story was so uninteresting it wasn't even worth putting on YouTube to make fun of.

I'm pretty sure "Having Alex Trebek discuss your grandmother's sex life on national television" is a nightmare somebody has had. I don't care how annoyed Twitter was with his folded arms, Mike didn't deserve that.

What, no comment by anyone here on the strategic wagering in Final on the first match of the ToC yesterday? Catherine advances to the semis and it looks like both Vaughn and Dan are in good position to take two of the wildcard spots as well. Only caught the tail end of the episode, but it looked to be a very good game. Greg, Brennan, and Kristen this episode tonight. All three are pretty good competitors, so we'll see who wins and if the others make enough for wildcard spots. GhostStalker fucked around with this message at 19:20 on Nov 10, 2015 |

Do I want Brennan (who beat me) to get annihilated tonight, or to win the whole thing? The answer may surprise you click here to find out why.

Catherine is going to eventually get destroyed by someone if she keeps up the terrible low bets in the DDs.

Sort of, but she was so far behind on the DJ DDs that she got (IIRC she had like 4k and 6k when she hit the DDs) that she was risking finishing with way too little money to even come close to a wildcard. Especially since she knew the answers to all three DDs, there was no guarantee she'd know anything about the FJ category.

zakharov posted:Were you the dude he had breakfast with? Looked it up on j-archive, and I think he was talking about the guy he beat, Darren Harris-Fein, who was apparently the alternate for the ToC since he's the next on the list. Pretty sure mennoknight wasn't in his first episode. More strategic betting, more possible wild card slots there. Gonna be an interesting end of the week to see who gets to move on to the Quarters. Though maybe the next couple of games won't be as good, since the next one features Matt Jackson and neither of his opponents should be able to challenge him all that much from what I remember of them. Kerry Greene is on Thursday with the same comment about her opponents, and Friday seems to be the same with Alex Jacob. Willing to be proven wrong though.

It was Darren. Darren took me and my wife and friend out for dinner that night (he was a sci-if scholar so we had some good chats). The show paid for breakfast, and Darren paid for my dinner so I guess I'm the real winner.

The show paid for breakfast, and Darren paid for my dinner so I guess I'm the real winner. That was pretty nice. Did you go somewhere around the hotel or further out into LA? I ate once at the hotel restaurant for dinner, which was pretty good, but expensive. Wound up going to a Thai place in the open air mall down the street from the hotel for a couple of nights that we discovered by walking around and my aunt really liked. Also, her friends picked us up the last day we were there and we wound up going to Chinatown and Monterrey Park for dim sum and Korean BBQ for lunch and dinner respectively. The hotel breakfast that we get for free was pretty decent as well, which is where I'm assuming Brendan and Darren ran into each other. I ran into another contestant who was a one and done and his wife at breakfast the next day as well, and we wound up talking about a Johnathan Latham book that we was reading, and popular literature in general. The day of the taping, also ran into another future fellow one and done at breakfast, in full Navy Class As, so I knew he was a contestant. Nice dude to talk to and get some nerves out beforehand. Colonial Air Force posted:Matt Jackson still has it, and I don't care what anyone else thinks. Blargh, missed the episode. Guess Matt crushed like usual?

It was extremely distracting and bizarre and I couldn't stop obsessing about it while watching, then I realized how brilliant that would be if it was intentional. If I were up there next to her I would be completely unable to pull an answer out of my brain. I couldn't even put two thoughts together sitting on my couch. It was so mind scrambling, I hope it was a brilliant bit of strategy and not some strange brain condition. She did win, after all.

Wasn't quite uptalk, but it was just about as annoying after a while, but since she won, we'll be seeing more of her after the ToC is over in a week and a half. Speaking of the ToC, Greg is out of the wild card running. Too bad for him, I guess. I liked that guy.

Not familiar with the painting or a lot of art that isn't the famous classical stuff in general, so that's a big hole in my knowledge. Kerry Greene moves on, Andrew looks like he's in a great position for Wild Card, and alas, poor Elliot. He got great crowd heat though, and all of their contestant interviews were amusing as well. The outcome of today's game means that Kristen is bumped off of the list for Wild Cards. Too bad, I liked her.

Alex Jacob crushes like expected, and neither Scott Lord or Michael Bilow make the wild cards for the semifinals. So it's Andrew, Vaughn, Dan, and one more I'm forgetting as the Wild Cards. I'm excited to see the matchups the producers give us for the semis. Also, while the poo poo that's current happening in Paris is tragic, I guess I can say that I'm glad that ABC didn't cut into the episode to bring a breaking news report on the situation until Jeopardy was over and WoF was slated to begin. Maybe that's because they French police didn't deal with the hostage situation and have reporting available until then, but I guess that's some really good timing. Does this make me a bad person for being glad that Jeopardy wasn't preempted?
