I would have embarrassed myself last night cause that's exactly the kind of FJ category I'd try to pull a big dick move and bet it all even if I had a runaway and then I completely blanked on what I was thinking of as the "McFish" was actually called.

Two categories in the first round reference David Bowie (Heroes and the one after that was a lyric from Heroes). I was expecting something about Bowie in the second round.

We got no Bowie.

I am disappointed.

What's a literal translation of the FJ clue, "I don't like eggs, I don't like ham"? I got it off "ova" but was sweating cause the syntax obviously didn't match.

Green Eggs! Green Ham!!

It's from the same root as viridian, or verdant

Ah that makes more sense, I saw that "-nt" ending and assumed it was a verb from what I was vaguely remembering of the Latin I once knew.

Watching the February 21 episode. Why aren't they penalizing this guy for not phrasing his answer in the form of a question?

As I understand it, they only penalize for not answering in the form of a question for double and final Jeopardy. I guess you can misphrase clues as much as you want in the Jeopardy round?

This is correct, round 1 they let you get away with it, round 2 you will be ruled incorrect for not phrasing it in the form of a question.

I’m pretty sure Trebek would be dead silent if you didn’t phrase it properly. And they definitely used to go back and change your score if they realize they made an error about that.

quote:

The coronavirus scare has now made its way to two of the most popular shows on television -- "Jeopardy!" and "Wheel of Fortune."

Production sources at the two shows tell TMZ ... as of Tuesday, 'Wheel' and 'Jeopardy' will be shot without live audiences. As for how long this will last ... our sources say it all depends on the spread of the virus.

Our sources say there are 3 primary concerns ... one of which is exclusive to 'Jeopardy.' Alex Trebek, who is battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer, has a compromised immune system from chemotherapy and other treatments. We're told execs felt it was too risky to expose him to large audiences.

There are two other concerns ... most of the audience members for both 'Jeopardy' and 'Wheel' are older -- lots of folks in their 60s -- and they are the most vulnerable to contract the virus and not beat it.

The third factor is that a number of people who attend tapings are from out of town and such travel is risky, given the spread of the virus.

Man, I understand why they're doing it and all, but one of the best things about filming on Jeopardy was my husband getting to be in the audience to see it.

Stupid virus.

It's going to sound weird for Wheel more than Jeopardy because of how they're conditioned to clap for everything, though the audible gasps and laughs always do seem to heighten the mood when they do happen on Jeopardy. Here's hoping the five members of both production crews can hoot and holler to make up the difference.

So what's the relevance of 9/11 in that FJ? I wasn't familiar with her work; I see how you get the name from "Chile" but glancing at her Wikipedia I don't see any mention of an obvious connection to 9/11. Super weird red herring that makes the clue way too difficult unless I'm missing something. (I also immediately went to Albright.)

Couple of days ago: he would've fell short anyway and it's a real there but for the grace of God thing but I did lmao at the trivia champ professor guy who lost his mind after his first win loving up a complete gimme FJ with a simple misreading.

Probably more or less two month's worth.

They're tentatively planning on taping more in early April, but I highly doubt that's going to end up happening.

We'll know when it's about to go dark, because we'll get a week with no audience first.

Not necessarily; they don't tape every week and there wasn't that long between the announcement that they were taping without an audience and the announcement that they were done. I wouldn't be surprised if there were no tape days in between that time.

They might just call it a season then and wait until August.

Had to check my TiVo to see if tonight was interrupted by Trump. Thankfully it was not pre-empted.
