But the peanut gallery sometimes gets all up in arms about the most asinine poo poo about a particular contestant, and it's just annoying when they take to social media to slag them like that. At least, that's how I feel. for me it's mostly just talking to people irl about it. like that woman who would dragged out words for god loving knows what reason. i wouldn't go tweeting an her. one hundreeddddddddddd

Yeah, I do that myself. That's fairly harmless, Vaughn Winchell says he even does it too when people post complaints and stuff out in the open. Tweeting or harassing people over Facebook is worse, which is what I was talking about.

Wade Wilson posted:You'd think that if that were actually true the website that you go through to register for and take the test would be updated accordingly. Sony just updated the Jeopardy website earlier today with the new test dates confirmed as next month. https://www.jeopardy.com/be-a-contestant/ Try it out, if you think you can do better than I did, I'll be happy to furnish any of you guys the email to one of the Contestant Coordinators as a referral if you think you did well enough after taking it!

The signup page won't work for me because it says my birthday is invalid. On my profile page it thinks I was born in the year 0011 and it won't let me change it. I emailed their support address but lol.

I also signed up, I just do them for fun though since I usually get in the 30 range (I know literally nothing about America or books and I'm too lazy to learn about them) and so never good enough to be considered for an audition. It's still fun though!

I emailed their support address but lol. I kinda remember you saying that you did an audition recently, like last year. Are you still swimming in the contestant pool or has your 18 months of eligibility run out? Pretty sure you know that Jeopardy frowns on people taking the test again if they're still in the pool, so I'm just checking. Wade Wilson posted:Done.

It's still fun though! Good luck next month then, guys. The rumored unofficial cutoff is around 35, so if you think you made that when you take this test, the referral email offer is open to all. Just let me know after you take it next month and you think you made it, though as I said before, I might be a bit busy and not get back to you guys as soon as possible with it since my birthday is on and NYCC starts on the last day of the tests.

Wow, two contestants missing a cakewalk Final on the first episode back? At least the new champ got a big payday from it. Also, was it just me, or did they change the sound effect for populating the board with clues during the Jeopardy round? I didn't notice if they used it as well for Double Jeopardy though, so maybe it was just me? Congrats to Trebek and Johnny Gilbert starting their 33rd season. Hope this one will be as good as all the previous ones, and they go on to do many more together.

No more boop-boops, it sounds more intense like some Who Wants to be a Millionaire thing. I'm still mad that they toned down the electric guitar solos during the commercial outros/intros a few seasons ago too.

Another relatively easy triple stumper on today's Final. Hope it picks up soon, I wanna see some big paydays.Ror posted:They totally changed it, it made me yell out. No more boop-boops, it sounds more intense like some Who Wants to be a Millionaire thing. Yeah, a bunch of old Jeopardy contestants on my Facebook feed were talking about it too. Gonna need some getting used to, that's definitely for sure. Oh, and I just got an email from Sony about the Jeopardy contestant test earlier today, with the heading "This Could Be Your Year!" Nope, my year was 2 years ago and now I'm not eligible anymore, having been on once already. A lot of former Jeopardy contestants on my feed mentioned getting the same emails as well and the slight mockery that receiving them entailed. Don't get my hopes up for a return engagement, dammit!

Between that guy, and Seth talking about leading a group that discusses how gentlemen should act, I'm convinced at least one of them is a goon.

haveblue posted:"Who is Frankenstein" should not have been accepted, the doctor is named Frankenstein and the monster has no name While technically correct (the best kind of correct), as far as I can tell Jeopardy's rule is pretty much of it shows up in a reference work it's acceptable. Lots of dictionaries and whatnot will list Frankenstein as a common-use name of the monster with more or less exactly your caveat added.

Didn't notice until it was pointed out to me by Jeopardy friends on Facebook, but I guess the consolation prizes are no longer sponsored by Aleve? I was just so used to hearing Johnny Gilbert do that commercial spot for them prior to Final that it faded into the background noise prior to the Final Jeopardy clue reveal that I never noticed it was gone until I made sure to check tonight after being made aware of it, and sure enough, they aren't and Johnny doesn't namedrop them anymore after Final is over either. The old Aleve displays on the contestant runner up podiums after Final are gone as well, though I forget if those had been a thing for a while, as I haven't really focused on that part of the podium for a while now. Welp, I guess the story of my cousins getting me an ice cream cake from Carvel decorated with the word "Aleve" on it the night my episode aired to celebrate will require a lot more explanation when I tell it in the future... The Alex Jacob joke response on Final during one of the semifinals of the last ToC won't have the same impact on viewers unaware of it either, I guess. Just talking about it here two pages ago when the ToC reruns were on too. GhostStalker fucked around with this message at 00:57 on Sep 30, 2016 |
