Wow. Great game. I thought Jack did a really great job too and it’s a shame the tiebreaker is basically just who can buzz in fastest now.

You can thank Arthur Chu for the death of ties. Man it has to suck to go from $37k to $2k in an instant.

They shoulda kept it the same. As much of a loser as Arthur is you still need to know enough poo poo to be able to pull it off.

Chu knew the best move was to bring along an opponent he knew was weaker than him so tying with them halved the chance a contestant stronger than him would be in the next game.

I'm fine with the tie breakers because Chu's strategy did suck even if it was an aberration. But it's ridiculous that you can't also keep the money. I also feel like the tie breaker should just be an entire rapid style category with Best of 5.

Wish they would just do another final jeopardy for the tiebreaker. It was too clear tonight that doing it this way is just about buzzer speed.

Final jeopardies all the way down imo, it would basically just be sudden death, but at least it would be based more on knowledge rather than buzzer speed

To be fair to this sucky "faster buzzer wins" way of doing it, the idea is to make it VERY undesirable to tie.

Vulture Culture posted:It must suck rear end to be a contestant and not actually get called on your taping day because the rate of churn through the contestant queue isn't predictable, though. Especially if you're already traveling in a pandemic, avoiding air travel, driving half a day each direction to do it They have two locals from LA per day who know they might not make it on for that very reason. Although I guess right now it's a hell of a lot more than two locals LOL.

I propose that the tiebreaker determines who gets to pick between "today's money" and "coming back".

Ideally a tie would be decided by a penalty kick shootout, with the host goalkeeping.

I only saw the second half because the impeachment news broke in, but I generally do pretty decently playing along at home, last night's game was hard as poo poo. In my head I was thinking largest coastline, so I went with Italy and couldn't think of the other one because I'm pretty poo poo at geography.

I used to listen to the Flophouse, but like the vast majority Max Fun podcasts, they're way too far up their own asses. I think someone in a different thread said it best that they pretty much give anyone with a microphone a podcast over there. RadicalTranslation posted:Found the final jeopardy hard.

I dunno...it's important, but delivering papers to the Senate doesn't seem to warrant 20+ minutes of analysis.I had to walk it through a bit but got final. I think geography categories are pretty safe bets for me, but that was still a tricky one.

I got it immediately but only because geography is my jam. I was torn at first, my instinct was Turkey, but there was nothing on the other side it could be, so I decided to go for the small one first and quickly figured out Monaco and it was easy from there. Algeria was bigger than I remembered, too. Absolutely crushes Turkey, size-wise. Fartington Butts posted:No one knew what "flamin hot" cheetos are?!?!

HookShot posted:I laughed at this at the time; those three contestants obviously have their lives put together way too well. As a regular listener of the Flop House, I can tell you that Elliott Kalan has the same taste in food as an eight year old and subsists primarily on Popeye's Chicken. I was honestly shocked he didn't get the Flamin' Hot Cheetos clue.
