PT6A posted:God loving damnit there's just so much I don't know about poetry and theatre I felt the same way prior to my audition and later appearance. Whenever a non pop trivia humanities question showed up, I felt a bit of panic before seeing if I had picked up that random bit of information through cultural osmosis, NYT Arts section glance through, random Wikipedia trawling, or high school mentions, in the short amount of time I had to answer the question, since I have better than decent random fact recall. Didn't help much if I had never encountered that bit of information before, like happened to me a couple times during the audition test, I missed a couple of literature questions there. Just glad I never got that bad of a category on my own show...

I took tonight's test. Imo it got harder as it went on; there were a couple of easier questions at the end too, but the first 20 or 30 all seemed mostly basic. Do we think they actually look at partial answers or do they just claim to? I forgot how much my laptop sucks to type on. I think that will determine whether I make it or not since I had a handful of "baldw" or "Lexington and conco"s.

I just took it on my cell phone and I'm currently stuck at a loving Benihanas in Phoenix! It was generally pretty easy, hopefully they check misspellings. I had no idea about that last question, though.

That was definitely the best I've done on a test so far. This is the first time they've had auditions in my city too. I doubt that will affect my chances, but I still see it as a good sign. I did feel kind of dumb that I never put together Uranus and Uranium until just now.

Anne Whateley posted:I wonder how many double Jeopardy married couples that are. Especially because The two I know of are Kristin and Justin Sausville (both were 6 game champs and in ToCs; according to J-Archive, they're the married couple with the most winnings on Jeopardy; she was in that one player Final Jeopardy game like 3 seasons back) and Ben Ingram (the ToC winner 3 tournaments back) and his girlfriend Liz Hutchins (who was a one and done). Too bad his contestant interview wasn't about his previous work, maybe if he had come back for another game, Alex would've asked him about it. Also, wow, had no idea he was married to Nikki Grillos, she's pretty active in Jeopardy FB, and I probably missed a mention of his soon to be appearance if she posted about it. EDIT: According to both of them, WWCF was the top note on his contestant info card, Alex just chose not to ask him about it. Also, holy crap Sunday was the 4 year anniversary of my episode taping. Man, time flies. GhostStalker fucked around with this message at 02:29 on Mar 15, 2018 |

Zero One posted:Super easy Final. Yup. Surprised someone missed it. Helluva coincidence on tonight's episode as it had a clue about Steven Hawking. Quirk of the timing I guess, since it taped at least a couple of months ago if not last year. There have been more than a few Jeopardy clues that air right after their subject has died but were still alive at the time of taping. A clue about Tom Petty last year comes to mind, as does one about Maya Angelou the week she passed. And on Pi Day too...

McSpanky posted:They're gonna have to try real hard to get easier than Jurassic Park anytime soon. I dunno, it seems like they tried it last night. "Can you add 2 and 1 and write down the number?" The only thing you had to know was that each state has at least one representative, and exactly two senators. That was it, and I can't imagine being an adult in the US without knowing that. You didn't even have to know that a state receives one elector for each representative and each senator -- the answer supplied that.

Soothing Vapors posted:I'm not even American and it seemed so easy I started doubting myself Yeah, I'm not American either but being in Canada it's pretty normal to follow American politics to some degree (I imagine doubly so for people who are likely to watch Jeopardy). Today's was... interesting. I guessed correctly, but I think with all of those styles of questions, it's something of a crapshoot. The 3 J countries FJ from a while back was similarly poo poo, in my opinion.

I got the 3 countries very quickly, which surprised me as I'm not normally strong on geography. Although it was more or less "name 3 countries that start with J".PT6A posted:Trebek seemed so sad that no one took advantage of the "Perfect Responses for Jeopardy" category. I'm glad he said that because I had been wondering about it ever since a clue several years ago about Cain's reply when God asked him where Abel was.
