I knew it was the place where marble comes from but gently caress if I know what that place was called.

HookShot posted:I felt like earthrise was a particularly cruel clue. The bit about witnessing it by orbiting but not from the surface was a pretty decent tell, because the moon is tidally locked. The Final Jeopardy clue was brutal tho. Old Kentucky Shark fucked around with this message at 16:12 on Mar 17, 2021 |

It was narrowed down really significantly with "Italian city" that I knew I had no shot when it wasn't any of the big names, hahaha Feels like they're struggling to find that perfect midpoint lately. Like, last week they had War of the Worlds as a FJ answer for the "Radio History" category. Nobody should miss that. vvvvv hahaha yeah, what a beef vvvvv Poque fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Mar 17, 2021 |

Maybe just remembering with rose-tinted glasses but feel like sometime a few years ago they lost any sense of FJ difficulty. There are still often good, interesting ones but way too many are either $200 equivalent or like final game of a championship stunt hard.

Mr. Poque came up with the same thing. I had no guess, I was too lost in all my pre-clue category-based guesses (I thought it was gonna be a double-AAA-feature of Astana, Kazakhstan) even though none of them were Italian.

My wife was an art major, and she got the final instantly while I was trying to go through all of the Italian cities I could think of and failing to come anywhere near it. It does always amaze me how often it feels like she's not even paying attention to the show until she suddenly rattles off the answer to an art-related triple stumper without looking up from her phone.

"That place marble comes from" has three A's in it. Legally, they would've had to accept it!

The best part is you just know they wrote that clue specifically so none of the contestants would say Schitt's Creek and they wouldn't have to deal with that.

What the hell was with Morgan getting a correct response without phrasing it as a question? She likely would have lost if they held up one of the most basic rules of Jeopardy.

People who bitch about misspelled Finals being accepted on social media still bring up that kid and how the judges were totally unfair to him. He inserted a syllable in the middle and changed the pronunciation of the word. In no way would that be read correctly. We’re told in the Green Room beforehand that a spelling mistake that can still be read correctly will not be penalized, with the example given of Reykjavik. I still remember one time some people on the Jeopardy FB page lost their poo poo a few years back when an FJ answer of “What is Byelorus? was accepted from the champ for Belarus. I had to constantly explain that the old spelling of the country’s name was Byelorussia and people still gave me poo poo for it and kept bringing up the “Emancipitation Proclamation” as if the situations were similar.

I remember a guy losing a final because he missed a syllable in Mediterranean Sea and I think they're both lame because you know both would've said them right if it was a normal clue.

It's not a normal clue, it's Final, where spelling counts to a point. And even regular play has ticky-tack stuff sometimes. Every so often they have an "Invisible Man/The Invisible Man" situation, for example. JBoard is currently debating whether "Singing in the Rain" should have been ruled wrong (it's "Singin'). What do we think here? Now if you think they should avoid tricky spellings on Final altogether, I could agree with that. zakharov fucked around with this message at 15:09 on Mar 19, 2021 |

They also marked someone wrong a few weeks ago (or months, what even is time anymore?) for answering "Gangster's Paradise" to a clue about the Coolio song.
