Ok, that seems much more reasonable. Not sure why they bothered to insinuate otherwise in the email.

Listen to classical music and opera, read Victorian literature and poetry, read the Bible a few times, brush up on American history and presidents. Develop a love for musicals. Memorize Shakespeare. Be aware of the existence of science. Be afraid of math. What the gently caress are sports? Don't worry, odds are you'll never see a sports category. That's like 70% of the clues.

He got the answer wrong on purpose so Alex wouldn't get to ask for his story about saying a swear word on Jeopardy on the interview portion of the next show.

Still, he got the right answer then crossed it out because he "misread" the clue. Sucks to be him, missing out on a huge payday, but at least he has a story to tell now!

I thought he looked familiar, hit couldn't place him until Trebek's intro of him. Trebek basically saying our bad with the acknowledgement of Ryan's return at the beginning of the episode was cool too. But him making it back and becoming ToC eligible will be a nice feather in his cap. The contestant interview was kinda awkward though, with Uncle Alex asking if he got fired, but I guess leaving your job before starting grad school makes sense. And I had forgotten he was part of the football category massacre.

I think they do, or at least they should, but then again I never tried to ring in again after I got a question wrong. Maybe they assumed that a contestant wouldn't try to ring in again? Or I guess someone messed up and forgot to flick a switch or something. CPColin posted:I can't believe this thread didn't warn me about somebody being named Caitlion. Yeah, that was a strange name, and Trebek made sure to enunciate it every time he referred to her.

Ryan gives my wife the creeps. I kind of get it. He reminds me of a lot of smart guys I've known in my life who are pretty well-mannered, used to being treated like an authority, and don't recognize that they're sometimes passive aggressive assholes. Between trying to rebuzz in, constantly talking over Alex, and that little gun thing he did when he took the lead during tonight's episode, he can gently caress off. There is also this trend of lovely dudes on Jeopardy who respond when they get a question wrong or don't know an answer. Ryan doesn't do it too much, but the occasional "Hm!" when Alex reveals the clue. But I still dislike it. It's like they're trying to validate not knowing the answer by making the question into something tricky or hard to figure out. You just didn't know the answer. Shut up about it. The champions last year were such a fun group to watch who had actual good chemistry even when they were a little over the top. I feel like this year has had a lot of insufferable jerks trying to be the new Buzzy. Anyway, I hope that Josh Hill mauls Ryan during the tournament.

Ryan seems like a nerd and a gamer, so it's not surprising that your wife would immediately assume he's a creepy weirdo Alex seems to hate him too. He talks at him with contempt when Ryan tried to ring in twice, or change his answer
