According to her, she just massively hosed up her bet: https://old.reddit.com/r/Jeopardy/comments/xddu18/jeopardy_recap_for_tue_sept_13/quote:Final Jeopardy — My wager was a huge mistake. I was confident in the final category, too! I intended to cover Luigi's potential final total by a dollar, but I lost perspective while I scribbled on scratch paper. Soon after I submitted my wager, I realized I’d messed up. Filming hadn’t resumed yet but I was stuck. As you may know, on a contestant’s screen, there’s a confirmation button by the wager box and once you tap that button, the wager’s locked in with few exceptions. We were sufficiently warned. I'd made an unforced error and I was gutted. The paper in question:

https://twitter.com/KenJennings/status/1570961260514283520 Ken's just the best. Luigi is the prime example of why you should play to win, not play to not lose. That wager 100% put the game in the hands of the 2nd place guy. I guess if you have absolutely zero knowledge of Disney it makes some sense, but otherwise don't give the ball to someone else with the game on the line.

Yeah, "don't bet that both you and your opponent will be wrong" when you're in the lead is like rule #1 for Final. I like Luigi and am glad he made it to 5 wins but he should have won more

He should have won less, that one person supposedly didn't do her math right a couple days ago.

Spokes posted:as a corollary, nobody has absolutely zero knowledge of disney. even if you haven't bought a ticket to see a movie in a theater or anything you're likely still aware of a ton of it by osmosis. and sometimes FJ is really, really easy. Just in general that's good advice. If you look at stats, even a superchamp like Amy was only like 70% on final. Studying the different clue types they give, the overwhelming majority of finals are in the category of "you can probably figure it out from the way the clue is worded". You know Disney Songs is going to either be something Disney Renaissance (which, like you said, everyone will be at least vaguely aware of) or one of the original golden age movies (which has an even narrower set of songs people remember well). Maybe you'll get a random thing like Robin Hood or 101 Dalmations from the awkward years in between those eras. The number of possibilities is incredibly small compared to a category like "American authors" or "bodies of water". The best advice I've absorbed from reading former champs' books and preparing to retake the exam: play every second of the game. Wagering should be automatic so you can spend that break compiling a list of possibilities like I did above this. I think if you just know the names of some 90s Disney movies, you can make it a 1 in 5 shot right there. If you can try to think of songs that were played all the time on the radio, you have a coin flip. 50/50 odds without having to know Aladdin came out in 1993 (but if you know that fact, which you should if you've studied your Academy Awards lists, it's the easiest final in a long time). All that said....it's loving Disney. They own like 80% of pop culture now. Unless they're going to ask who wrote the lyrics to When You Wish Upon a Star or something, you're gonna be fine (and if it's that hard, odds are your opponents also probably wagered big and missed it so it's a wash).

Honestly, I think they should just switch to keyboards for final so handwriting isn't an issue anymore, but that's just me.

I say they go the opposite direction and have all FJ answers written on clay tablets. In cuneiform. Like Nisaba intended.

I get that banter was encouraged, but Simu Liu and Ego Nwodim were just obnoxious, whereas Andy just wanted to play the drat game. Edit: And I believe EP Michael Davies came up with the Triple Jeopardy concept because he was tasked with filling a full hour for a single game.

Yeah it's not even really "triple" since they halved the values for the first round. Aside from 3 extra DDs, there's the exact same amount of money on the boards in total but 50% more clues. It's 100% "how could we stretch this to an hour".

It's just extra awful because Wheel of Fortune already figured it out. Just play 2 games! if you absolutely have to draw it out for 3 months, then just have the celebrities play twice and make it a combination game. Or do double elimination/loser's bracket. I guess they'd be stuck writing an extra batch of easy clues.

It's already a solved problem on Jeopardy; that's how they did the Greatest of All Time tournament two years ago: Two games per match (night), first to three match victories is the winner.

that sounds like a bit too much consecutive time spent thinking for the celebrities i imagine they black out on the stage just like real jeopardy competitors, but its out of boredom rather than delirious focus
