So do online Jeopardy communities usually creepily obsess over the attractive contestants?

Are you sure you're not too bland for it to matter? You're a goon, the odds of people lusting after you seem low, and the uggos usually don't get any scorn.

Edit: I take it back about the uggos, I googled the author of that article above. Flat uggos, anyway.

It's so weird to me how people get upset about contestants metagaming. You get such a big advantage from keeping your opponents asking "wait, what's this category again?" before they answer that I don't understand why all contestants don't do it all the time

Try out for it anyway. The creepers are few and far between. Merely loud and obnoxious. They don't matter.

You'd fit right in with literally every single contestant ever. My god they should just drop that portion of the show because nobody gives a gently caress about contestants' boring personal lives.

They try way to hard to make the most boring poo poo sound like it would be an interesting story if the person involved was capable of telling a story without going "uh" or "um" literally every other word in said story.

At least most contestant stories are better than one poor guy's I remember. His team won, and he said he celebrated the victory with X million of his friends. Alex asked him about it, and he said he considered everyone in his city to be his friend.

Sheesh.

Finding someone attractive and saying that they're "your wife" are two very different levels of creepy.

The Jeopardy thread seems to attract a certain percentage of uptight trivia spergs who lack the usual SA and internet social graces and therefore periodically stage these fainting couch episodes when they encounter more socially well adjusted individuals who aren't afraid to boost the self esteem of a 3 with DDDs and give her some material to pretend she didn't like it and facilitate her hilarious attempt to fame whore on some third rate internet site like Vice.

The kids tournament is great because you get to laugh at kids who misspell "emancipation" badly.

used to be the college tourney champ got a spot in the ToC, but they stopped that... what, 10- 15 years ago.

nowadays being on once in any circumstance is enough to rule one as ineligible. don't know how that applies to that kids-only version gsn ran years ago.

it's not allowed

once you've been on the show once, you've used up your one chance for life

(this only applies to the same host, but since Trebek has been the host for 30 years....)
