I had a laugh at Elena and Kate’s reaction to the Russia category in Double Jeopardy. This was a fun episode.

Ken is such a relief to watch after all of the other bullshit that has happened. I hope he gets to stick around more than Mayim.

It's nice to have a host again who knows how to actually read a clue. Mayim was like the kid in class who always wanted to impress the teacher by volunteering to read aloud but clearly didn't even know what they were saying and had no rhythm. edit: vvvvvvvv yeah he actually seems to have a sense of humor The Sean fucked around with this message at 16:25 on Nov 9, 2021 |

All the others could do was read the extra info that was clearly just written on the answer sheet. I actually had a hard time watching that set of contestants, personally; they all had weird nervous tics that were really distracting. Right podium was churning butter the entire time, middle couldn't stop swaying, and our former champion's little OOOOs were just so strange. They were amusing and genuine contestants, but the fact that it was all three of them at once pulled me out of the game a lot. I can't believe middle podium called a clue then cringed like the board was going to explode.

Ken seems to have been more relaxed as host compared to his first go. The disconcerning part for me is that he was introduced as hosting Jeopardy rather than being the host. He's clearing being thought of as a substitute until the real host returns.

I thought that was how they had always described it? Bialik will be the primary host but can't commit to it full-time forever, so Ken will fill in when she has a conflict. Remember that this is the fallback plan after that producer tried to install himself full-time and got cancelled

So, I was not told until after that it was the Nov. 8 show.” This ultimately means that yesterday’s episode did not make note of the day, with no speeches made in Trebek’s memory.

Think as long as you do it before the host rules it wrong, you're good. Ken seemed to slow-walk the ruling though, which gave her more time than usual to correct herself. And man, that Final was hard as poo poo -- someone on Reddit pointed out that Final questions aren't considered unless another writer can get it right, but running through Queen lyrics in your head is probably a hell of a lot easier when Think isn't blasting in your ears.

ninjahedgehog posted:Ken seemed to slow-walk the ruling though If the contestant answers something that the host thinks might be possible as an answer they can look to the main judge to make an immediate ruling with either a thumbs up or thumbs down, and so he won't really make a determination either way until he gets that answer. That might be why it took longer than usual for him to make the call, giving the contestant time to change the answer.

With the clue saying Europop, I figured it had to be ABBA, but I know the lyrics of Bohemian Rhapsody better than their hits. I made it to Galileo in the lyrics.

I knew it was ABBA and in the right part of the song but didn't know Mamma Mia was in that year. I thought it was later.

I just don’t get the push for Mayim when Ken is available, willing (as far as I know) and has a history with the show. It’s not that I really have much of a problem with her but Ken is a much more natural fit.

She thinks like them and came from the hit-show with their core demographic. Olds.

I swear I had a job interview with Andrew earlier this year. Ken said software engineer in San Francisco during the interview portion, so it's entirely possible. Going back through emails to see if I'm hallucinating this or not.

Zesty posted:She thinks like them and came from the hit-show with their core demographic. Olds. Given the advertising of Final have been for Aleve, Consumer Cellular and Geico, that makes sense. They wanted a host with a high Q score in that demo (not the demo that takes horse paste Aaron) and she has it over Ken in spades. Others have higher scores but she lives in LA unlike the rest so if you think like a TV executive as opposed to logically, the choice looks obvious.

I didn't think it was that obscure given it was a visual clue. I did blank on his surname though. Final all but screamed Rosencratz and Gildenstern are Dead so two whiffing on it was baffling.

Neither of them seem willing to be permanently tied to Jeopardy forever If the plan is to find "another Trebek" in the sense of another person who will dedicate the entire remainder of their career to Jeopardy, they may need to adjust their expectations

They could always do a Family Feud/Millionaire and switch hosts every few years. Mayim is fine for now, but I kind get the vibe she's not in it for the next 5 or even 10 years. In fairness Pat Sajak has given off that same vibe since the mid 90s.
