I got irrationally angry at the "who played them" category. Vin Diesel has played Dom eight times, not seven (he cameos at the end of Tokyo Drift), and Benedict Cumberbatch has played Doctor Strange five times (Doctor Strange, Ragnarok, Infinity War, Endgame, Multiverse of Madness), not two.

So the clues were just factually incorrect, and that's bullshit.

If you told me they released four more Doctor Strange movies in the two months since filming, I would believe you

Ken is a funny person, capable of making good jokes on the fly. Mayim seems to think that simply giggling at things makes her a funny person too

Doggles posted:That wasn't even the worst one for me. I had audible reactions to two others. She full reads the answer written on the card anytime someone says something that's partial and acceptable. It irks me because it's indicative of her condescending feel towards the players and viewers. She's constantly doing the "wow, get a load of these nerds!" stuff and at the same time "the people who watch this show are dumb". F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:It's like Miyam has to constantly prove how smart she is, which I think is really bizarre given that she's a neuroscience postdoc (notwithstanding the magic brain pills). This is funny because she also gives a little "I knew that" energy to every single response that she reads that she actually knows, which isn't many.

My favorite one yesterday was "What is Bow-din College?" *long pause as she reads "Bowdoin College" on the card and doesn't know what to do* "...Yes."

Do they get the answers from the card? I always thought they had an earpiece with the judges talking into their ears.

If there’s a question that has to go to the main judge they’re sitting in front of the audience and look over for a thumbs up/thumbs down ruling.

I can see Ken doing some of these, like on the Saudi Arabia question just tossing in "yeah, driving cars" but I think he makes it more of a casual aside and it doesn't feel so showy, I guess?' IDK I don't want to make it sound like I'm just ragging on a woman for a tone thing but I really do think she has a kind of "know-it-all" energy to her hosting that Ken doesn't seem to have.

She might even be a good host for a different kind of game, just not Jeopardy. Let her loose on that 5th grader show or any of the plethora of word puzzle games like Lingo or something and I'm sure she'd do alright, but Jeopardy is in a category of its own for American game shows and she's just not suited for it at all.

Yeah I 100% agree with you, she not only comes off as a know it all but also at the same time as someone who knows nothing about the content of the show and the combination of the two is a train wreck.

Today's Jeopardy round was relatively restrained but she really went off in the Double Jeopardy round. We counted 8 pauses as she read the answer and 15 (!!!) inappropriate laughs.

I can't remember, did they always leave the card in frame? I was wondering if the current editor didn't like her, because drat does it look terrible for her to just be openly reading off of a card like the kid who didn't take 10 minutes to memorize their bit of the presentation.

The Jeopardy Youtube page has a bunch of Final Jeopardies up. Here's a random one I looked at. You can see that Ken has a card in his hand, but he's not staring at it the whole drat time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdUmaCgTmHg&t=49s edit: Alex as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99GzGZASLFA&t=62s PSXer fucked around with this message at 03:04 on Feb 26, 2023 |
