Did today's challengers ever look at a map before? 7000 miles east of Sydney is this capital and they chose Wellington (a capital but not that far away) and QUEENSLAND?! The latter one has to be one of the dumbest Final responses I've ever seen.

That FJ was embarassing. I got the Ann Perkins question because I LITERALLY. just finished watching Parks And Recreation for the first time. I'm sad it ended. The Mighty Moltres fucked around with this message at 05:27 on Oct 29, 2021 |

That one daily double that the middle guy got wrong yesterday seemed horribly worded. I was still trying to parse the question when he ran out of time. The category was 2 WORDS, 2 SYLLABLES EACH Something along the lines of "meaning easy to talk to, this phrase starts with the plural and ends with the singular". People Person I also didn't get the final. I knew it was the lunar lander, but I couldn't think of the singular word. AFewBricksShy fucked around with this message at 14:28 on Nov 2, 2021 |

I got it easily, but I agree the wording was a little clunky. There was one clue in the last 3 games (just watched them all at once last night from cloud DVR so I can't keep track of which game it was) in some science category that was really poorly worded as well.

What really bugs me during daily doubles is when Biyalik doesn’t prompt for an answer when a contestant is struggling. I liked how Alex would prompt for a WAG at the very least before running out the time on it.

What really bugs me is that Mayim Bialik is an anti-vaxxer, rape apologist, who also irresponsibly shills for brain pills on the side.

I mean yeah, there's also that. But even her horrible personal opinions on virtually everything aside, she's just not a good host. She's certainly better than she was, but that bar was so low it was pretty much on the ground, and the longer she hosts the more annoyed I'm getting with it.

We just haven’t watched jeopardy since the mike Richards thing , and given this probably won’t until they have Ken back.

Ken is starting next week, right? I still haven't found anywhere that says how many weeks he'll be hosting. Hopefully Mayim will be tied up with other projects for a while.

My dumb Bialik complaint is when she has to provide the answer for a triple stumper, she doesn't phrase it in the form of a question herself.  This annoys me way more than it probably should.

CPColin posted:A nice thing about Bialik hosting is that the wardrobe isn't just endless men's suits and an occasional Trojan costume Given she went to UCLA, I wouldn't expect Trojan anything on the show as long as she hosts. Wardrobe is a non-issue for me. My guess is Sony now knows how much of a audience they've lost if any by hiring her. If the result is negligible then she's staying. Ken will only be used as host if she has a conflict and those will end when her show does.

So it turns out Aaron Rodgers lied about being vaccinated - he said he was "immunized" to the media and hadn't been following the unvaccinated protocols so the assumption was he was vaccinated (he just tested positive for COVID). He also tried to get the NFL to accept some homeopathic treatment he received as the same as being vaccinated. Shoulda just picked Ken guys!

At this point, who has a legitimate reason to not be vaccinated? Only ones I can think of is immune compromised or if you’re under 12 (soon to be 5). This is the type of quackery that killed Steve Jobs but this disease has killed 713 THOUSAND people in the US alone and 29K in Canada

Only ones I can think of is immune compromised or if you’re under 12 (soon to be 5). immunocompromise is not a contraindication to vaccination; in fact, the more immunocompromised you are, the more strongly recommended vaccination would be since you would be a lot more likely to die from covid if you got it the only contraindication is if youve had an anaphylactic reaction (e.g. would've died without immediate medical attention, not an "allergic reaction") to the first dose, then you shouldn't get the second dose (and should get a j&j dose instead)

got some chores tonight posted:immunocompromise is not a contraindication to vaccination; in fact, the more immunocompromised you are, the more strongly recommended vaccination would be since you would be a lot more likely to die from covid if you got it Thank you for clearing that up. Either way A A Ron is a J A Ckass for pulling a fast one like this. He could've shut down the show over this. Of course the ad for brain pills airs before a news piece on him

Rodgers appears to be none of these, though I guess depending on what treatment he gets for Covid and whether the NFL takes his excuses, he could set his deadline back a couple months, I dunno. Still a major fuckup on his part. GhostStalker fucked around with this message at 01:31 on Nov 4, 2021 |
