Contestant quirks are fine. The rampant sexism and racism from Jeopardy circles is the poo poo that’s been getting old.

It's almost like Austin is becoming more like a human and not a horrible Rick and Morty cartoon character or meme generator. I dare say I'm kind of starting to like him. His story was sad but heartfelt, and the fact that you know he was the one that got them to all do the robot made me laugh.

Then Buzzy hosed up by doing a terrible robot. gently caress Buzzy.

I misunderstood and thought they had the same 4 letters at the beginning and couldn't come up with anything at all. Had I read the clue correctly, I would've gotten it.

Yeah, I paused it and it took me about a minute, but I also forgot about the age part of the clue and started west because the states are bigger and easier to remember.

:same:

I thought Alan had it in him to come back until he tried copying Buzzy and going for the True Daily Double and missing it, and that look like it really took a lot out of him. I'm also surprised that Austin wasn't much more of a factor in the game as well. Was a really good game to watch, even if it was at a diner with the sound turned down kinda low.

For some reason in Final, I had started checking with the non 13 colonies states in the Deep South because I kinda remembered that they were some of the first added, and I couldn't get back to the northeast in time. Was also hung up on Indiana, even though it really doesn't work when you've got some time to check.

:agreed:

The amount of poo poo that some contestants, especially women, get for stupid bullshit is what prompted the whole Jeopardy squad poo poo that everyone laughs about here. I'm not even on Twitter, but a lot of the more prominent former contestant defenders are, and they do get vociferous in their actions.

I know that, I was saying I started with the Deep South states that weren't in the original 13, since the clue stated 1805.

That was unfortunate in tonight's Final Jeopardy. Answers that long, you basically have to know and start writing right away to have a chance at finishing in time.

I wondered about that. Lots and lots of folks call it "Sgt. Peppers" and not by the full name. I wonder if he'd done that if it would have been accepted. Sadly using their own rules, once he wrote "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart" it was wrong. I think a case of either getting it all in, or getting the abbrev version.

I wonder this because they'll take "JFK" when the answer is John. F. Kennedy, or LBJ etc.

Wilbur himself actually chimed in and said that he asked the producers after the taping if that would have been acceptable and they said no.

I thought the category would be hard, but when the question came up I thought it was a total gimme. The "gotta catch 'em all" connection seemed pretty clear to me. But I guess not.
