I really hope that proves to be correct..... Anyone else in here in LL? A friend of mine finally got in, then finally got an invite for me before this season and I'm loving it so far.

I don't hate Matt, he's really growing on me, I just root against him to the extent that I don't want it to be a runaway in Final Jeopardy. Last night's final was really drat hard. And we were really, REALLY, wanting to see another cute blue haired off-standard Nikole/Nicolle living in the Midwest take down a multi week champion! The energy I get from Matt is the same I got from Courtney Shah: "please make this nightmare end." Except while Shah kept accidentally limping into a victory, Matt is trying his hardest the whole time.

The one exception being the X-Files and even then he was a substitute for Johnny Cash given he was playing the Man in Black.

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf (D) and his Republican challenger, Scott Wagner, sat on stage, their faces frozen and their hands clasped. And Alex Trebek, the “Jeopardy!” host and the moderator of Monday night’s debate, let loose, joking that the only thing with a lower approval rating than the Pennsylvania legislature was the Catholic Church.

I'm guessing this means a few more weeks of Alex repeats before the new era begins: https://mobile.twitter.com/Jeopardy/status/1426921623576223746?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

Like what? I guess he’s the type of person to only read things and not know how people generally pronounce them. I have the same affliction, so I haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary.

I don't know about pronunciation, but he does that thing that annoys me where he answers everything with "What is..." no matter what the answer is. As in, "What is Obama?" It's minor, but it bugs me. I'll get over it, though, thanks to that burn above.

It’s more efficient. Less brainpower devoted to forming the grammatically correct question is more brainpower directed to recall and buzzer speed. This is war, people

He also does the thing where he signals first, says “what’s…?” and then comes up with the correct response. Total pro move. Taken to extreme last week where he said “what’s [10 second pause] dinosaur?” “Be more specific” [10 second pause] “t-Rex”

Yeah, he's said the "What's" is a deliberate tactic, removing even that tiny delay in trying to figure out what question to use.

That T-Rex clue seemed especially blatant, but I agree he is not doing it on every clue or even most clues. The whole time I was screaming at the TV because everyone knows the T-Rex at the Field Museum in Chicago is named Sue. They even named a beer after it.

You learn a fact, and then it’s reinforced by some tangential or recreational activity, and then you know it forever. I will never forget that the t-Rex is named Sue, because I saw it in person, and because the beer is really good. I always made a special effort to buy some when I travelled to Des Moines or Quad Cities for work.
