The only reason I'm watching is so I can keep track of the lead changes.

BaronVonVaderham posted:What gets me is there will be other situations where they give ambiguous answers, or even more relevant a contestant will be incorrect then someone will be correct....and NOTHING. NOT A SINGLE WORD TO CLARIFY WHAT HAPPENED. A week or so ago there was a category that gave clues to a famous historical figure, and the answer was the actor who played them in a movie. The first four clues were all guessed correctly the first time and she would always confirm it with "Yes, X playing Y". But then for the last clue one contestant guessed the historical figure and got it wrong, and after the next contestant correctly guessed the actor, Mayim just said "correct" and moved on without explaining why the first person was wrong or even just the connection like the previous four times.

Tonight a contestant said authtentification in the five-syllable category. That's one syllable too many, but not a word from Mayim when the next guy got it at authentication. Also wondering how the most difficult clue in the baseball category was quite easier than the easiest clue - which was baseball related - in the parks category.

I am not sure how someone with a PhD can state that a negative temperature is “minus ____.” There is just no joy in watching these shows.

Having a Ph.D. just means you’re good at one specific thing. I have a Ph.D. and I’m dumb as hell with negative charisma. I’d be calling it “World War One One” and poo poo.

The local Jeopardy Saturday replay was the episode where someone correctly guessed Auburn, but that wasn't enough for Mayim and he had to clarify Auburn Univesity. The next clue saw someone correctly guess Purdue, but he didn't have to put University after that. I still can't hazard a thought as to why Mayim was so confused by Auburn. Was also when Jay the contestant was a dead ringer for a skinny Jay Leno.

I thought you could correct your phrasing in Double Jeopardy without penalty if you did so before time/being told you were wrong. I remember this happening with a number of contestants over the years.

yeah but generally there's some kind of prompt from the host, instead of bialik just staring at you

I don't remember the host ever giving a verbal prompt in Double Jeopardy but yeah I've always seen the contestants being given the full time to self correct

What the gently caress is a unit of cultural transmission? Who would even think to answer meme to that?

banned from Starbucks posted:What the gently caress is a unit of cultural transmission? Who would even think to answer meme to that? That's the original definition of a meme: a self-replicating method for encapsulating and transmitting cultural information from one generation to another or one group to another. The informational analogue of genetic code; a memetic-gene. It doesn't have a lot to do with the way the word is commonly used today.

If you google the definition of meme you will see that phrasing a lot. Mostly because that's what a meme is. Fun fact for the class: Hitler thought "kilroy was here" was evidence that a high-level spy visited and tagged a wall or whatever. The Sean fucked around with this message at 15:10 on Jun 28, 2022 |

If there's anything this season of Jeopardy has been teaching me it's to go with my first instincts on answers.
