Still, whenever the peanut gallery does get too critical, a lot of former Jeopardy contestants do mobilize and come out to defend the person attacked, which was what I was trying to get at.

You're not really helping yourself here; "mobilize" suggests you're part of a secret society or some poo poo.

Never thought id see the words "who is goku?" appear on jeopardy

That episode just aired here and I had the biggest :stare: on my face.

Although given the way that guy looked, I shouldn't have been surprised. Between that guy, and Seth talking about leading a group that discusses how gentlemen should act, I'm convinced at least one of them is a goon.

I get the feeling that Seth actually didn't do so well entirely because he was as good at Jeopardy as the Arthur Chus and all that but because he got a LOT of complete morons as opponents.

Don't get me wrong, the dude is really good at the game and definitely deserved the money he won, but I feel like normally he would have been more of a 5-day type champ rather than however many he's at now. Which I also think is why he has so much less money than Arthur and Matt did with the same number of games.

He's also one of the goonier dudes I've seen on the show in recent memory. I think it was his first or second episode when he told Alex that he's the chair of a club dedicated to teaching men how to be gentlemen and I was like "... :what:"

Oh, yes.

Arthur Chu hacked Jeopardy! and won big. Now, he's using his newfound online celebrity to battle dark forces on the internet as a blogger and cultural pundit. Raw, unfiltered and poignant, we follow Arthur as he realizes he can only create positive change in the world if he first heals his own wounds by reconciling with his family.

Troy was a tool, but he got completely boned on his Daily Double in Double Jeopardy today. The category was state capitals (not initials), the answer was something like "these two capitals have months in their names." Juno was one of the correct responses, but Juno's only a month if you're going by the Roman calendar.

Yeah, I feel like if you're going to actually be on the show, you should take a crash course in Brit Lit, landmark Supreme Court cases, pop culture (movies and television), the Revolutionary, Civil and Vietnam Wars, and, like, a Science for Dummies book, because nine times out of ten it feels like Final Jeopardy comes from one of those areas.

I've already forgotten who Lisa was or why people had a problem with her

She was the contestant last November's Tournament of Champions who got incredibly frustrated with her Double Jeopardy performance (she went into Final with $2,000, like $13,000 behind the other two guys), made it clear visibly that she was pissed off, and prompted three pages of discussion here of people saying "lol she was having a panic attack."

I had no idea the bird was actually called the Baltimore Oriole...I thought it was just Oriole and blanked on what other word they were looking for. Whenever I hear the baseball team I thought it was just like them saying Chicago Cubs, or New York Yankees so the Baltimore Baltimore Orioles made no sense when thinking about the clue.

Orioles are widespread across the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic (I spent the spring and summer here in Wisconsin attracting them to my balcony with orange peels and slices). Generally speaking, the Orioles' mascot in Baltimore is just referred to as the O-Bird.
