No, I always watch the anecdotes, and made sure to do so on Monday to see if they were gonna mention it. Guess I focused too much on Alex, expecting him to say something about it. Must've slipped right by me for some reason. I missed Tuesday and Thursday's episodes because of working the election and getting home late after a doctor's appointment respectively, so I wasn't sure if it had been mentioned then.

InsensitiveSeaBass posted:That's when they mentioned it. The guy in the right hand podium was the one who originally suggested it. Ah, ok. That was the one episode I really wanted to catch since it had the College Champion meme queen Lilly Chin and last year's Teachers Tournament winner (and Facebook friend) Jason Sterlacci hyping it up, but I couldn't get a break from working the election at that time. There was a diner a couple blocks away that was showing the channel that airs Jeopardy here where I got lunch a couple hours earlier, but no dice on getting over there because of how busy it was at that time and how we scheduled the breaks. Trying to dry off from the rain and asking people not to track water into the polling place as they tried to oust Mayor deBlasio (it's Staten Island, of course they'd go for the no chance Republican in her own Assembly District, even if there was a decent Democratic vote count as well). Oh well, I'll see if there's any way for me to catch said episode online or something.

Star Man posted:So did you ever get your check? lol, right as the season after mine started back in 2014. Just never bothered to change my av. Unlike Austin, I didn't get Trebek snarking on me during the interview and a big after credit production of handing it to him, it just came in the mail like almost everyone else. Got a memorable interview in another way though, inadvertently insulting my cousin on national TV. GhostStalker fucked around with this message at 22:10 on Nov 12, 2017 |

Death Bear posted:Check the daily discussion thread in the Jeopardy subreddit. Someone always posts a Dailymotion link. That's how I got caught up when it kept getting preempted during the World Series. Figured as much. Someone already had a YouTube upload of my episode up the day before it aired, though it was taken down soon after. An acquaintance from the New York Comic Con volunteer network also found a decent one online when I asked and put it in his DropBox soon after. Downloaded a copy myself just to be safe and kept another in my Google Drive for when I get nostalgic or get asked to provide a link. Sony Pictures Television also prints DVD copies of your episodes on demand if you ask via the Jeopardy production company or contestant coordinators, according to what I've heard from other contestants, but the price is said to be pretty drat high.

I hope there is still a chance for Austin. I know he can be a bit much but I adore him because he's so genuinely happy for the two people who have beaten him. Seriously watch his two losses and he is almost as excited for them as they are. I love a good loser.

I love how Lisa and Seth swept the manga category on Thursday, then everyone struggled with basic Sci-Fi on Friday. They went from "Of course we know Shingeki no Kyojin and Kozure Ōkami. Why wouldn't we?" to "Frank Herbert's Dune? What's that?"

drat, it looks like I missed a helluva episode today. Looks like another buzzsaw from Buzzy happened. Yesterday's episode had three of my favorites for the Finals all in one semi, and I was super disappointed at the draw that had them all play each other there. Of course Austin came out on top though. At least it was a pretty close game, I guess. haveblue posted:Spiciest memelord was really mad that she missed a clue that was actually about a meme. Colonial Air Force posted:Same. Spiciest memelord tried to meme and couldn't, what a shame.

Austin vs Buzzy already looks like a good Final, adding Alan there would make it pretty interesting as well. GhostStalker fucked around with this message at 07:10 on Nov 15, 2017 |

the end during the credits when alex talks to the players is really awkward, she just slumps over the podium thing all dejected and you can see alex try to talk to her now i wanna rewatch the game she lost during her run to see how she was then.

She obviously wasn't happy about how the game went but she was just leaning on the podium while having a conversation with Alex. God drat.

I can only imagine you have such a demoralizing effect on all the women around you at all times that you can't recognize a genuine barely-restrained emotional breakdown when you see one. It was super awkward.

She seemed really frustrated as her chances of winning kept dropping. Final Jeopardy was the last straw - when she realized she had no idea and she'd bet everything she was pissed. It didn't seem like a panic attack or anything, just somebody getting really ticked off at the situation and then getting angry at her own frustration.

I'm on Team Lisa, because we have all been at the point where we feel like, "gently caress this poo poo, I'm out", but she couldn't just leave and had to stay and try, but really did not want to. Maybe its because I feel like that at least 70% of the time at my job. Also, if I was losing to someone who actually went by the name Buzzy, i'd been annoyed to. Also again, everyone defending Buzzy and Austin's douche-chill inducing personalities, but piling on the  When Austin went over his pre-rehearsed spiel about how he was going to travel, I longed for that one lady to talk about her love of tiny donkeys...and I hated that lady.

Also, looking up stuff online and falling down the 'past Jeopardy! champs' rabbit hole made me realize I play board games with a guy who made it into the Ultimate Tournament of Champions in 2005, so I no longer feel bad for losing to him like 90% of the time. It's funny, because he's a humble dude who everyone knows was on Jeopardy!, but he's chill as gently caress and never talks or brags about it so i just assumed he was on a couple of shows at most.
