What does "there aren't enough jeopardies" mean anyway?

My guess is it's a weird way of saying "The stakes aren't high enough" or "There aren't enough opportunities for people to gently caress up."

I could NOT believe how stupid they were for being like "oh, american icons, pulitzer, rock and roll hall of fame, minnesota... I GUESS I'LL PICK LITERALLY ANYONE BUT BOB DYLAN BLEEP BLORP I'M A RETARD ROBOT"

Frankly, I guessed Prince too, because in my head Bob Dylan is so associated with Greenwich Village and New York that I forgot he was from Minnesota.

Ugh... I just realized the Balkan country they wanted is obviously Montenegro.


Was that the 50% vegetation/carbon/bullshit whatever question? Like the second to last one? If so, I had no idea what they were asking for either and ended up leaving it blank.

I went with peat. I probably was wrong.

I feel like I did alright, though.

Peat is what I was thinking, but I didn't type it.

I figured it was better to put something than nothing.

Looks like I got the dreaded 34 (at most). In years past 35 was passing.

I wonder if they will accept "herbert hooiver." But it doesn't matter as I included that in the 34.

I got 34, unless Somalia is acceptable for the Horn of Africa question, in which case I got 35. drat.

There is also rumor of Brian Williams and Dan Patrick as other possible names.

Honestly, if they really want to go with someone with journalism experience, they really can't go wrong with Pat Kiernan. He needs another game show after VH1 decided against another World Series of Pop Culture, the cretins.

Brian Williams or Anderson Cooper would own.

Scrambled Fish is the stupidest and easiest category of all time.

I didn't get mackerel :(

I kept track for idle fun, and counting daily doubles as the value of the space and taking away cash when I was wrong, I would have been at $27,400 by FJ.

Was it just me or was final jeopardy REALLY easy today? I mean, admittedly I guessed International Space Station for a split second before switching to MIR. Even so, ISS was a very dumb guess.

It was pretty easy - I wavered between MIR and Skylab for about 10 seconds before settling on MIR.

Sorry, but I just started a new job which means that I'm rarely home for Jeopardy anymore. Also, you all convinced me that if I just checked my Gmail spam folder, I'd find a missing audition email, and that just got my hopes up way too high.

You and me both. :smith::hf::smith:

As the contestant coordinators told us - we don't care what question you use, or even if it makes sense...as long as it's a question,

Can people just say it, but with a quizzical look on their face and their voice going up an octave during the last syllable? :v:

So besides Ken Jennings whose twitter account speaks for itself, Colby has to be the coolest Jeopardy contestant in recent memory right? At least tied with that black kid who won the Teen Tournament like a boss.

The only way that finale of the teen tournament would have been if he hosed up and wagered too much, and crashed and burned while being smug about it.
