I love Jeopardy but I always feel bad for the people that don't win, they only get a $2,000 or $1,000 consolation prize. Wheel of Fortune is the game to play for maximum cash potential even though I sometimes feel my IQ lowering as I watch people miss-guess puzzles. Really can't stand Alex Trebek, when he retires (which I hope is soon), I want Ken Jennings as the new host. He is so loving funny, if you aren't following him on Twitter you are missing out.

mattfl posted:Does anyone remember when on Wheel the contestants used the money their won during the game to buy prizes?? No one I know remembers that, I'm not making that up am I? I used to watch Wheel of Fortune reruns on Game Show Network years ago and yes, when the show first started the money you won had to be spent on items that decorated the sets. It would be stuff like dinner wear, outdoor furniture, trips, etc. Wikipedia says: The shopping element was eliminated from the syndicated version on the episode that aired October 5, 1987, both to speed up gameplay and to reduce the taxes paid by contestants.

Logged in and ready for a bruised ego! Also drinking a Hopslam (10% ABV beer) that just came out today, this will definitely improve my performance.

El Jeffe posted:I've heard watching a bunch of episodes back to back helps. This reddit user uploads every episode (the google drive ones get taken down in a couple weeks, so just go for the Daily Motion mirror if it's an older ep). Nice, thanks. I've got a couple weeks worth waiting for me on my DVR too, probably wait until a bit closer to the audition date to watch them. Just got the final email confirmation and learned they don't even pay for contestants to travel to LA if you get picked to be on the show, which seems super lame. 0% chance I'll ever make it so w/e, but now I feel bad for all those suckers who lost to Ken Jennings and still got soaked for 2 nights at a Holiday Inn.

Raskolnikov38 posted:you get 1k guaranteed so if you can make it to LA for less than that you're gold Email I got with audition info has the following: quote:In fact, even though you are invited to the studio, there is no guarantee that you will appear on the show. Sucks to be the alternate, I guess.

Ok, that seems much more reasonable. Not sure why they bothered to insinuate otherwise in the email.

Re: episode scheduling At least on Comcast, my DVR guide says this is going to air tonight, tomorrow, and Thursday. Guess I'll find out shortly if these are just placeholders or we're going to 6 games.

imho Ken, now that he has rightfully been crowned the GOAT, should get the first right of refusal to become the new host of Jeopardy whenever Alex retires/croaks.

I realized I hosed up when myself and 99% of the other potential contestants in the room all answered the question of "what would you do if you won Ken Jennings-level money on Jeopardy?" with some variant of "I'd travel the world!!" 8 days away from it being 18 months so guess I can take this month's online test again.
