Hey, it's my 2 year Jeopardy anniversary! That really snuck up on me.Soothing Vapors posted:it's actually a rerun Yeah, that dude. I remember watching him the first time around and thinking he was super autismo, reinforced when Pat did his contestant interview. This time around, I immediately turned the TV off when I recognized Pat's shock over him getting the first toss up with one letter and got a look at his neckbearded goofy face again. At least Matt Jackson was somewhat entertaining in his knowledge and runaways, this dude was just unwatchable the second time around.

After reading his writeup of the episode, I've gotta say that while he's definitely pretty high on the oddball charts, he's also a guy whose hard work and preparation earned him seventy grand. It wasn't a strictly rainman thing.

Been a while since I've seen a question on Jeopardy worded so badly that it becomes factually incorrect: Haumea is twice as wide as it is tall, since those determinations are made relative to a body's axis of spin.

I guessed Joseph Smith but to be fair to me I'm not American. My husband when the Whale Rider clue came up: "I've seen that movie, drat it, I can't remember what it's called. She rides a whale in it though."

I also thought Smith, but Young actually makes more sense. Then it was followed up by morons thinking Space Mountain was a good ride for UNICEF donations.

Maybe some of u Jeopardy guys'll like this if you haven't already heard it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzZUXHtTr6c and from the rolling stone interview "Trebek still has the same digits and answers almost every time. In fact, LPC says, "I just talked to him earlier in the week. Sometimes when I'm talking to somebody I just add him to the call and see what happens. He enjoys explaining to people what's going on.""

Somehow it is utterly unsurprising that Alex Trebek would stay on the line with some random dude for 7 minutes to argue with him about digital signatures and Siam

Throwing your opponents off their game by making sure they have no idea where you're heading to next clue. Also, Daily Double fishing. Loved that the Queens category was about my original home borough. Speaking of Shea Stadium, went to a Mets game against the Nats at Citi Field a couple weeks back (before the All Star Game) with a bunch of Jeopardy alums, including Jennifer Morrow (she of the RUSH drumsticks, $2112 bet during Final and dancing during the contestant intros that pissed a lot of the peanut gallery off) and Kristen Sausville (who just missed the wild card cutoff last ToC, and who came up from Delaware to watch the game and tour NYC in the process). Also, Shea Zellweger, Shannon Lee, and Barbara Gao, a few one and dones from late last year, and Amber Garret, who was just on last month were there too. Was all organized by Julia Lawrence, who Jennifer beat in her first game as champion, and also attended by Ben Hemmens, the champ that Jennifer beat on her first appearance, who was rocking Nats gear and coming up from Virginia. Tom Kelso and Alistair Bell, who won a couple games in 2004 and 2012 respectively, were also in attendance. Got there late myself, missing the first two innings because getting to Flushing from Staten Island is a bitch, but it was a good game to go see. Super humMets won, 9-7, and it was the last game they won before the All Star Break, and there were a ton of dingers hit (Murphy started his HR streak against the Mets for the series that night), so it was a good one to catch my second baseball game at (first one was at Shea like 15 years ago). Great meeting a bunch of Jeopardy alumni and hope I can do another event with them sometime soon. Julia wound up using the Jeopardy connection to do Mets Jeopardy during the middle of the 1st inning, and won two Louis CK tickets for a show this Friday at the Forest Hills Stadium. But she's gonna be down in Ocean City this week, so I was the only one in the group who was local and was available to go, so she passed them over to me. Still looking for a person to go with, probably advertise them in the NYC thread or Facebook and hopefully get a response in the next couple of days. Also, speaking of Jennifer Morrow, apparently a repeat of her episode aired this past weekend in some markets because her Jeopardy anniversary is coming up, and someone in the peanut gallery on Facebook took it upon themselves to insult her poorly and with terrible grammar. Because Jennifer is one of the anchors of the Jeopardy social media universe, a ton of former Jeopardy contestants, a bunch who have met her in real life due to meetups and such, took it upon themselves to defend her. She's one of the nicest people I've ever met despite only having met her a couple weeks ago at the Mets game, and I would've done my part as well, but my computer has been on the fritz for the past couple of days and I didn't find out about it until earlier today when the firestorm had already died down. Really, Jeopardy contestants roll deep.

Has there been a long-term champion that sprinkles in an off-speed pick? Like they'll go Greek Literature $200 - $400 - $600 - $800 then National Parks $600, then Greek Lit $1000? That seems like it'd be a fun way to throw people off.

It doesn't seem like there's a ton of value in that for normal categories, so I can see why that's annoying, but bouncing over to something where you really have to keep the category name in mind to come up with the correct answer is an incredible way to assert your momentum. I metagame way harder than most people who play along at home, though. I probably have the most fun trying to guess what the contestants will wager on DDs.

I loved how Alex didn't even finish the outro before he started trying to complain about it, too. That said, I am surprised none of them got that. Even if you had only seen a trailer for the movie, you could answer that. AbrahamLincolnLog fucked around with this message at 01:55 on Jul 28, 2016 |
