I'm upset that the only channel in my area that my antenna refuses to pick up is the ABC station that airs Jeopardy. I hate how it's the only way to watch new episodes without getting cable or illegal downloads. I've been watching episodes on Hulu and Netflix and getting questions that were in the zeitgeist at the time that no one today would remember. Who remembers that the two top swimmers in the 2016 Olympics were both from Maryland 4 years later?

Is that two guys this week wearing the same pair of half square/half round glasses? I don't think I've ever seen them before this week.

I was so primed for something crazy and went in blind. It was very underwhelming. “Losing your virginity” being a woman’s “special event” was so much more yikes though. Zesty fucked around with this message at 12:08 on Dec 5, 2020 |

Was anyone else confused that the answer to tonight's FJ wasn't aurochs? Seems really weird, because it definitely fits as an answer.

Today I learned that unicorns are mentioned in the bible nine times. I also cheered at a contestant realizing they HAD to bet big on a late DD to have any chance of winning. Shame it didn't work out.

Same. I'm assuming aurochs aren't mentioned exactly nine times and it'd be incorrect based on that.

There's been some mixing, I think it might be because an episode from maybe a week ago had Alex sounding raspy and hoarse as hell and they're just boosting levels. I mean, we're now in the run of episodes that were taped in the week or two before he passed.

Interesting article looking back on who's been considered to replace Trebek over time. https://twitter.com/ringer/status/1336720332393213959 Plus, I had no idea that's how the "time's up" boops were triggered, but it makes so much sense now! The sound is manually triggered by a button on the host's podium, giving the contestants as much or as little time to respond as the host deems necessary.

Timby posted:This seems wildly illegal. I think you got to see this in action in yesterday's episode even. A contestant started a response just before the red lights were up, but the boops didn't sound immediately once the lights depleted because they were still speaking. They were still given enough time to give a proper response. The biggest surprise for me was who triggers it. Even if it wasn't automated, I assumed it'd be trigger by the same person that controls the signaling device lockout system.

Isn't the article referring to the timer for people to buzz in? Not the timer for people to answer.

Zero One posted:Loved the full "form of a question" response given as Who framed Roger Rabbit I had a long-running debate with a friend about exactly this. I said it would be acceptable, since the rule only says it has to be "in the form of a question", not that the question has to make sense, the same reason responding "Why is Washington" would be acceptable. Seeing this last night I immediately messaged him to rub it in. Since it happened in DJ it sealed the deal since that rule is strictly applied.

Yeah, I remember one episode a while back in DJ where the person answered "Is it [answer]?" and Alex was like "well.... that's technically a question so yeah you're correct" As long as it's a question of any form it's fine.
