Vulture Culture posted:got today's first Daily Double before the clue was shown I got most of the 'names in songs' answers as soon as I saw the category. Not in order, mind you, but still got them. I only missed 'Vera, Chuck & Dave' because they gave you the names and you had to give the song title.

Did they show the flag? I'm three weeks behind so I'm hesitant to check.

My guess is that the picture didn't show up during the actual game - they tell you in that case you're allowed to ring in if you can guess it from context, they don't stop the game and re-record.

A second guy rang in and did get it right. Maybe he knew that flag from memory but I bet it did show up and the first guy just got stupid for a second.

I'm not even American and I knew that flag from memory; people who actually get on Jeopardy are not idiots. But yeah, maybe he got stupid or forgot to look over at the screen that shows the pictures, or something.

Timby posted:She isn't crushing it, she keeps falling rear end-backwards into winning. That plus I can't stand her inability to stfu. The other day the episode got pushed back for pointless COVID news crap (I guess not fully pointless, but it was no new information and didn't seem worth preempting shows for) and we didn't get to see who won because she talked for several minutes after revealing her answer so the DVR recording cut off before her wager was shown. I feel like you sometimes get some editorializing from a long-term champ like Ken....but even he knows to keep it to a minimum to keep the show flowing, and she seems oblivious to this. I'm pretty sure she tried chiming in at the first break yesterday but they cut her off so Alex could deliver his usual break message. She's either unaware of doing this or doesn't care, but to be fair Alex and the crew aren't doing much to put it in check. Speaking of which, I thought they put an end to all of the shout-outs in final wagers? Seems like there's been a huge uptick in that lately. I wanted investigator woman to win last night, despite her insanely long shout-out at the end.

She's probably also super nervous and that's how she reacts to it. They switched at some point and started allowing shout outs a bit ago.

It’s good time to remind everyone that these people are just regular folks and we shouldn’t be making personal attacks on them. Women players, in particular, receive a lot of terrible messages online over nothing related to the game. Happy to criticize strategy though. I’m 20 episodes behind. The money going into final was something like: 14,400 - 14,200 - 1,000 And the third chair bet all 1000 on final. Whyyyyyyyyy. Your best chance of winning is the other two betting it all to beat each other. It didn’t work out that way, but why shoot yourself in the foot now when you still had the best chance? All 3 ended up getting it wrong and the 2nd place guy won because he only bet a couple hundred bucks. Still though, make the best choice to give you the best chance of winning in the moment.

I guess the studio is super cold, but drat. Also, she looked up the books our champion wrote. It's exactly what I had assumed. YA Fantasy called "Astral Plane Jane".

I don’t see what’s “ugh” about someone writing a blurb that’s to market. Not all of us write books with the goal of writing pretentious Jack Kerouac poo poo, some of us do it to make money. Don’t mock peoples’ jobs, JFC this thread.
