I'd rather take the 50/50 (or whatever) chance that Melissa gets it wrong though, rather than the risk of losing.

Every once in a while an uncatchable player will deliberately bet to put themselves at risk, and those are always among the most fun moments. So I'm Pro Dangerous Betting, as long as it's not just an inadvertent dumb math mistake.

Wow I had no clue they got rid of ties. I can see in tournaments but kinda dumb for regular season games.

they got rid of ties because of arthur. it's better to play for a tie because you know you're bringing at least one person to the next game who's worse than you and he did it several times.

Welp, I've missed all the episodes this week (bad decisions and timing ahoy!), partially since I was still pretty disappointed by Phillip's loss last week. I take it from the comments here that this week's episodes have been nothing really inspiring?

Placido Domingo was the only one who sorta had a reason to sing. But they could have done all those clues without having to do video clues. E: and watching the secondary ep right now. Comic sans was actually a jeopardy clue. Comic loving sans. Dr Jankenstein fucked around with this message at 17:11 on Mar 25, 2016 |

I'm picturing a scenario now where somebody intentionally gets Final Jeopardy wrong just to tie a second place player in an otherwise runaway game and it's a pretty fun mental picture.

"Hello, I'm Something Awful dot com forums poster and frequent Jeopardy viewer FadingChord.

I usually like video clues, but the overly wordy ones are pretty bad. Sometimes the people featured just put way too much into them or are super awkward and slow reading them. Don't think they affected me so much though. Decent game tonight, first one all week I caught. Got Final at the last minute, had to be something like that.

video clues would be totally fine if final jeopardy didn't end like 21 minutes into the show. there is more than enough time for commercials/sponsors/getting every clue out literally every game.

I don't have a lot to add about Jeopardy tonight but man some guy ran the table on Wheel of Fortune and it was a great night for that show. The "Find the Canadian" category was a lot of fun on Jeopardy tonight, though. And yeah, tonight's video clues were a lot less obnoxious than the opera category on Thursday.

FadingChord posted:I don't have a lot to add about Jeopardy tonight but man some guy ran the table on Wheel of Fortune and it was a great night for that show. I saw that. He really did run the table, getting those puzzles crazy early and only missing out on one when he couldn't figure out the last word. Two cruises, and didn't want to win the $33k in the bonus round? He got what, close to $90k, after the cruises and $45k bonus round cash... That was great. The Find the Canadian category tonight was a trainwreck. I think I knew about half of them?

I knew about half, but I knew some because I knew the other two were NOT Canadian. But that's a valid strategy, too, so I guess that's alright.

So, after I last posted here about getting an invite to the in-person audition in DC (and I very much appreciated the words of encouragement, and of course I RSVPed yes), I went on a short vacation to Montreal, and then the night before I returned, my dad was hospitalized with congestive heart failure and a seemingly imminent need for surgery, which then got delayed for two weeks until this past Tuesday. (The surgery went very well and he's recovering awesomely so far.) The result is that it's now three days until the audition and I've barely had time to think about it, let alone study up at all. But I'm sure I've worried about it a lot less than I would have if I'd had nothing else going on this month, so there's that. I need to figure out what to wear and I need to pick my five anecdotes (I've made a quick list of ten contenders, but one is about being a crazy cat lady, and another is about being the worst kind of Wikipedia nerd, so hopefully those won't make the final cut).

Sorry, you can't top the anecdotes for today. "I'm here to prove my wife wrong, even though the first two weeks I watched the only answer I got was Ghandi" And "I crocheted a 'giant squid vs blue whale" costume" I'm torn as to which is better But better than all is the April fools poo poo. Word of advice, watch sober or you will be so confused. Dr Jankenstein fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Apr 1, 2016 |

I enjoyed the clip of Alex walking in with no pants, and also the random contestants giving the same answer to clues however many years later but the stuff like the random noises and the daily double sign being upside down were kinda dumb.
