He's this guy: http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Bucktown_Tiger

In his earlier appearances he said something about playing piano in a tiger costume at a furry convention if you connected the dots.

Most furries I know aren't super into having that be their whole identity. They're mostly fairly normal folks who occasionally suit up and do the whole fandom thing. It also tends to be one of those things where the IRL identity and the fandom identity are rarely seen in the same room at the same time.

Welp, that explains why he was so evasive when Alex asked him about the conventions and such. The tiger thing should've given me more of a hint, but I didn't really connect the dots until he came back earlier this week and I started reading this thread again after the Teachers Tournament.

If you're suddenly getting angry about a person on the TV because of their unusual and weird hobby, I'm going to suggest maybe it's not the furry that has the significant problem.

There was that one Jeopardy champ a couple years back who was convicted of defrauding and stealing the money of the elderly couple he supported as a home health aide here in New York like last year and is now serving jail time. I think his name was Winston Nguyen or something like that, and he was a one day champ who lost on the first day of a new season, IIRC.

Has a contestant ever answered, "Who is the Zodiac Killer?" Because somebody needs to edit that together with the picture of Ted Cruz from last night.

Kate Spade a clue on yesterday's show and she committed suicide this morning. Helluva coincidental timing, since these episodes are taped months in advance.

Had no idea with the last two Finals, probably wouldn't have gotten out better than the $599 yesterday's champ won. She goes home with an additional $2k for having come in second today with $5.

Didn't come to me, as I couldn't come up with a fictional character with a mustache prominent enough to merit an obit in the NYT in the 70s, but was obvious enough when the correct response was shown. Need to read more Agatha Christie I guess, the only Poirot stuff I've seen are the live action Murder on the Orient Express stuff, which momentarily increased my interest, but not enough to actually pick up any of the books. I should probably change that.

Just not my wheelhouse and likely not that of the contestants either. It happens.

Ever since Alex did his whole ‘some people are saying we’ve been making final jeopardy hard on purpose to save money’ speech last week every single final question has been incredibly easy.

Kinda makes me think they were just making them hard on purpose and are trying to back peddle now

The zodiac one was hard today. And Diana went into final with a runaway score of 29600 when the next person had 10800, but Diana wagered 9000

she could have lost with a runaway if Katherine had doubled and Diana gotten it wrong


eta: someone on another forum is saying they don't let you see the other people's scores when you're wagering for final. that sounds kind of odd to me. can anyone with experience comment on the final wagering process
