Colonial Air Force posted:Yeah. At least airplanes/airlines made SOME sense (even though it was very obvious). I had no idea and guessed Boeing as well, even though I knew it was probably wrong because of the date. Still, Seth continues to kill it and is just below Arthur Chu in number of games won (11) and just overtook Roger Craig in amount of money won in regular play with $231k. Wanna see if he can keep this streak going and how long it'll last. While his last challengers weren't that much of a speed bump, I wanted to see them do a little better than the blowouts he's getting here. Also, apparently Aleve stopped being the consolation prize name sponsor (with the Johnny Gilbert promo spot) two weeks prior to the end of last season, and I just didn't notice? Really, I guess it really does all fade into the background prior to Final for me if I never noticed it until it was pointed it out to me...

Haven't read the article, but I'm wagering at least one of the seven complaints are from Florida. Or North Carolina.

Seth ties Arthur Chu in games won with his win tonight, but is behind him on money earned in regular winnings. Next big name in wins category is Matt Jackson with 13. Wonder how long his streak will continue for? Also, adult tests start tomorrow night. If you've signed up for them, good luck! If you guys think you did well enough on it after for a contestant referral, drop me a line here or via PM and I'll get back to you with one (once I have the time)!

Well, to all those taking the test tonight, once again, good luck! Again, if you think you did well enough to move on, let me know and I'll shoot you a referral email to a contestant coordinator so you might have a better chance of a callback to an audition. Just give me a couple of hours tonight, I'm probably gonna be busy to check my PMs or this thread. GhostStalker fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Oct 4, 2016 |

If I remember correctly, the rumored unofficial cutoff for an invitation to an audition is 35/50 or so. Looks like a bunch of you guys made that, going off of your posts here and the answer lists that are undoubtedly up on jboard and other Jeopardy sites. Didn't take the test myself, so maybe I'll track down a video of the test on YouTube (they're almost always posted by former Jeopardy contestants) to see how well I would've done. Sounding like a broken record here, but if you wanna try and get a possible leg up for an invitation to an audition if you think you made the cutoff, post here or send me a PM, and I'll get you a referral email for a contestant coordinator. Gimme a couple of days to get back to you though, I'm gonna be real busy this weekend with working NYCC. Also, missed tonight's episode, but it looks like Seth continues to roll forward through the competition. 12 games won now, overtaking Arthur and coming up on tying Matt Jackson next episode, but of course, they have quite a bit more money won in regular play than he does. Again, wonder how long he'll last. GhostStalker fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Oct 5, 2016 |

42-44ish, depending on fat finger answers. I had 'j m keynes' for example. Better than the last one, anyway. What was 'James' the answer for?

Missed one I thought I had and I'm assuming they won't accept "Keynes" for John Maynard Keynes. That's still put me at 42; hopefully still in the mix.

lol our local affiliate is airing tomorrow's episode tonight "to showcase a local contestant" apparently seth lost, which is not that surprising because he seemed to be worn out edit: and our local contestant got BTFO along with the woman who beat Seth, so I guess it was good to showcase ehr Soothing Vapors fucked around with this message at 01:25 on Oct 6, 2016 |

I get the feeling that Seth actually didn't do so well entirely because he was as good at Jeopardy as the Arthur Chus and all that but because he got a LOT of complete morons as opponents. Don't get me wrong, the dude is really good at the game and definitely deserved the money he won, but I feel like normally he would have been more of a 5-day type champ rather than however many he's at now. Which I also think is why he has so much less money than Arthur and Matt did with the same number of games.

He's also one of the goonier dudes I've seen on the show in recent memory. I think it was his first or second episode when he told Alex that he's the chair of a club dedicated to teaching men how to be gentlemen and I was like "...  "

Well, signed up to take the test again. Countdown clock hit 0 and the test never came up.  Oh well. I probably would have just gotten ~42-44 again and not get called again.
