"THIS POINT FOR A SUBSTANCE AS A LIQUID IS BASICALLY THE SAME AS THE MELTING POINT FOR THE SAME STUFF AS A SOLID" What the absolute heck is going on in the writers' minds? I had to pause and re-read this clue multiple times, not even counting when I transcripted it for this here post. It's the freezing point Okee Dokee

I wonder what would be a better way to ask it. “For solids it’s called the melting point, but for liquids it can go by this cool name as well”

Aye, it's just a matter of phrasing it properly. With your example I, (and by extension at least one of the constestants), could probably get it.

As someone who has been watching NASCAR for over twenty years and worked in the sport for a few, I had no idea what they were trying to go for with the $1,000 clue in that category. But I did get a good laugh out of the fifth clue in the Boroughs of New York category being a triple-stumper. They had already named four of the boroughs, there was only one left!

ninjahedgehog posted:What a poo poo FJ question -- literally the only clue you have to go on is randomly spitballing bad things that have happened in DC. At least replace the Hoover building with something even tangentially connected to Lincoln, goddamn I SAW THIS EPISODE TONIGHT AND I WAS SO MAD I was split between Ford Theatre and Watergate and said Watergate because THE FBI ACTUALLY DID HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THAT

So she wouldn't say "rear end" in the one-letter category?

Mister Kingdom posted:So she wouldn't say "rear end" in the one-letter category? I noted that. She pointlessly "clarified" each of the 4 other clues, but very deliberately avoided that one. Last night had another few instances of my favorite dumb hosting habit of hers.... "This strait something something" "What is Gibraltar?" "Yes....the Straight of Gibraltar." That alone should be enough to disqualify her from hosting, as it clearly demonstrates she has no loving clue what actually makes for a good game for the audience (let alone coupled with constantly commenting on changing of position or speaking like a kindergarten teacher to adults).

So, I guess Casablanca has a character named 'Elsa' now? Edit: I guess I am wrong and that's pretty much how it's said in the film, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V70VxbNVzsg Orzo fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Jul 9, 2022 |

I didn't mind it in this category, tbh: it's essentially asking you to come up with two answers and only say one of them, so clarifying the other answer as well actually does help the audience figure out how the contestant got there, even if it's pretty obvious. Chipping in with "Yes, George Washington" or whatever drives me up the loving wall though, my working theory is that she only does this when she doesn't know the answer herself

How else would we know the scores of each contestant after every single break unless she read them to us? We'd have no way of knowing. At least we only have one more week of her then it's back to Ken... for now

I think it's better when they flash the text up over the podiums, like they do for the anagram categories and other stuff like that. That way you have it if you somehow missed it, but it doesn't disrupt the game.

Her pronunciation of Trier was awful. Having been there, I recognized those ruins and knew the answer. Had to think over what she actually said to realize it was in fact Trier. TREE-R

I have virtually no bible knowledge so I was curious. It seemed weird to me that the clue only asked for one city when the two are so intrinsically linked AFAIK.

Yeah, I went with Jericho for the same reason, and I pointed out to Mr Hookshot that if this was two years ago there was no way they would ask for a single city if it was either Sodom OR Gomorrah, but these days who knew and it was probably Sodom. Hooray for lovely clue writing.

Gene Hackman Fan posted:also, japan's version ("quiz grand prix") ran fifteen minutes and had five players: had an idea for a video project, and as i've been gathering clips for it i've managed to find a full episode of quiz grand prix. this was uploaded recently-enough that auto translate works (somewhat). five daily champions play one more match on day 6 for a two-week vacation to europe. stakes are doubled, but no daily double (the "chance card"). i really dig the way that board opens up at the beginning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBQSjOb63vM Gene Hackman Fan fucked around with this message at 06:36 on Jul 11, 2022 |

I knew that Jericho was later in the Bible (Joshua, I think?) and Babel was a little bit earlier, so I correctly guessed Sodom. When you get committed to a psych ward and the only thing to read is the Bible, you learn scripture quite quickly, whether you want to or not.

I'd be down for 80s and 90s Wheel of Fortune. Love the aesthetic of manually turning the letters and the funny prizes. The $100,000 Pyramid show was on some channel and it was some 80s episode where someone's big prize was a Buick.

I have vivid memories from my childhood of Wheel contestants participating in a bonus round where they spent their winnings on things like a new ugly lamp for their living room.
