I, a person who has written over 100 murder mystery novels and do this as my job, have missed a question on Agatha Christie in the past. It just happens, and it happens even more when you're under SO MUCH PRESSURE to not look like an idiot.

How much pressure do you feel when you play the board game Clue ?

My answer matched James’s, yeah—once I translated the phrase I couldn’t get T.H. White out of my head even if he was 5 centuries too late. With five minutes I think I’d have gotten to Malory.

Gutted for Mattea, they absolutely sliced through that second game

:same: I knew what they were getting at but the only arthurian book I could think of was the one whose title they had you translate, just not enough time to connect to the next point.

Not nearly as much as I feel when I'm out here committing actual murders. Can you imagine how embarrassing it would be to actually get caught?

Karma is gonna be you get busted for a murder and the person who catches you shares the same name as one of the heroes in your books.

I cannot believe how many triple stumpers there were during Double Jeopardy.

I just had a look at J-Archive and christ.

There were 16 triple stumpers out of 30 possible clues. Only 28 clues were revealed today because the players took their sweet time not answering 16 questions, so that's a 43% get rate on questions.

Among questions missed by all three players:
Name the Speaker of the House
Name the Secretary of State
Name the Attorney General
Name the Treasury Secretary who used to be Fed Chair
What video game console was Goldeneye on?
What's that book series where teens shape-shifted into animals?

14 more triple stumpers.

Speaking of that: I think WoF's season has ended, but since Miyam was on the episode last night, I'm assuming Jeopardy's is still going for another week or two?

Until late July. Ken filmed four days of five eps, and they're airing starting July 3rd.

TBF, I hate her as a human being so wish she'd host nothing, but she's probably much, much more suited for that show than Jeopardy.

Agreed, but it's clear to me that they want her hosting something because they feel she's popular, otherwise they wouldn't overlook how bad she is at hosting Jeopardy, so I'm trying to find a place better for her, I guess.

She might be better suited for Wheel assuming she's still under contract to Sony. It's not a WGA show so no conflict there either.

It's probably earmarked for Pat's kid though.

I feel like that really contributes to how many questions go unanswered. She takes forever to confirm a correct answer but for some reason I feel like when someone is wrong she goes at them hard and fast.

My favourite part is when the player repeats their response because she's too busy looking at her answer card or whatever the gently caress else she's doing.

Lol I've only watched random Jennings episodes, kind of want to watch a Miyam one somewhere they aren't tracking to see that. That would be me as a host, not paying attention even though it's my main job.

Nah. On Monday's show, there was some dude who had Keanu Reeves' exact facial hair, hairstyle and suit style as in the John Wick movies and it was just goofy as poo poo.

I actually liked that guy. Maybe it's the abysmally low bar for contestants these last couple weeks, but he made a huge comeback and the game was his if he had gotten final.
