Too many jeopardy faces, not enough jeopardy heels IMO. Give us someone to root against for a while and then we all can cheer when they lose.

what I'm saying is have the iron sheik on jeopardy.

My girlfriend and I binged a bunch of Austin’s episodes last year since they were available and decided that we hated him. It’s genuinely fun to root against someone game after game.

All seriousness , central time kicks rear end.

Everything in eastern time is not too late, but it’s also not super early like pacific time.

it's a wild coincidence that most of the people i see criticizing mattea (not here, necessarily) are the same ones who complain about auditioning 15 times and always passing the test and inexplicably not getting picked for the show. like, they picked her because she's fun and obviously enjoying herself. this is how you get on jeopardy! stop malding and take notes, dorks

e: obviously i'm not saying everyone has to like her, but you gotta understand that superchamps with personalities are sony's dream and they're loving every minute of it

This.

Also, keep in mind she's 23 and definitely the youngest Jeopardy! superchamp. She's obviously nervous when you watch her, and so yeah, she's not as polished as some of the other champs and sometimes rambles a little. Whatever. We're still getting through all the clues on the board, and I'd rather see someone with a bit of personality than a beep boop Jeopardy robot.

Groovelord Neato posted:

I don't think this is an excuse, especially not 16 wins in now. She's presumably watched the show a lot before auditioning and should know this is not normal or appropriate.

That said, I blame the people running the show who seem to just let this sort of thing run rampant lately (not necessarily Ken, who can only do so much in-episode without being an rear end in a top hat). They should have told her to cut down the chatter and commentary between episodes, kind of like how they'll coach a struggling contestant on their buzzer technique during the break.

You can still get in a (short) joke here or there, but it's gotten BAD lately. Last night on that second to last clue they literally talked through the entire time remaining for the other two to buzz in, and I think they didn't know they could buzz in because of it. Now imagine what they've probably edited out to leave us with this.

Just look at Ken. He's gotten in some great one-liners after responses but it doesn't slow the game down at all (especially compared to Bialik's nonsense). There's a rhythm to it all that you have to be aware of and keep things moving.

Kid jeopardy had less annoying contestants and kids are extremely annoying.

There have been exactly six clues left on the board in her entire run and none in like two weeks so I do not give a gently caress if she talks too much

I wasn’t paying attention to categories and blurted out “cockpit” to the front of the airplane clue and I desperately wish I had been on so Ken would have had to deal with that.

What’s with Ken’srambling speeches before he reveals the categories in the first round? That’s way more annoying than Mattea

Also, I want to make a joke about a certain wardrobe choice/move in today's episode being Mattea's version of Ash Ketchum turning his cap backwards, but I can't figure out how to do it without sounding like a gross rear end in a top hat
