I may or may not have left that website on with the ongoing final jeopardy clues. It reminds me of this old screen saver I once had in the early 2000s. My favorite right now it's the J6! because you get to see the clues that were dropped from the episode.

Very exited for the Jeopardy GOAT, I'm going Brad in Three, because i haven't seen him lose a tournament. But, considering the mainstream attention for this game, I'm very excited and impressed.

I'm glad they are doing video packages for the first three days, with each day being a different contestant, Ken's was great, almost like a morale booster and I wonder if it will hold true for Brad and James.

funny enough i scored my all time highest on a J6 binge (41/60) and completely tanked the jeopardy test. this is a world of contrasts, and while i don't think i'll ever be a contestant on jeopardy, i still enjoy watching it.

Its wild hearing "For $100" in 2022 for a game of Jeopardy. But I agree - if it's "tournament play" for the tournament, they should've just done 2 games with combined scores advancing in the next round. They've done the "two games" format in GOAT and College Championship, so it should be no big deal. And the only thing you lose is some pointless awkward "Round 2 Halfway Point Banter" and "Round 3 Awkward Banter Some More" With a "Triple Jeopardy Round" I will say - it would make sense for Mayim to say the controversial "Single Jeopardy" because in her mind its Single/Double/Triple/Final Where as I think mainline game - just leaving it out as Jeopardy/Double Jeopardy makes sense, only because it's wordplay. But they have done "Power Players Week" and other specials before, I understand wanting to "Sportify The Game" but it's really as simple as leaving the game as-is, and rooting for the returning champion, based on their stats. That being said - what's the thoughts about the "run the category" bonus? It was apparently such a "big news" that it was on primetime news, even though it was just a "i'm thinking about" on the podcast.

the fact there are two tournaments going on at the same time - I really like the "best of 7" then immediately back to the ongoing game. But I still think the tournament still goes a little too long for what used to be 10 games. The 2-Day Accumulation is only for Second Chance, and I think that's fantastic. The Celebrity Jeopardy Triple Jeopardy is still a little sluggish, but I don't know if that's just the show pausing for "banter" or Mayim's hosting style. I feel it needs to be more of a "season finale" instead of a midpoint, but it made for more dramatic moments, especially in final Jeopardy compared to a runaway game in a 2-day total. I wonder if the show is good as it is, or does it need all these changes?

I like Cris, but they are at the "we got nothing left in the banter" so it's the usual "did you ever think you'll get this far?" and "what are you going to do with all this money?" Questions. I think Ken should just ask weird ice breaker questions at this point like "do you have any special routines on your birthday?" or "what's your favorite children's book growing up?" I know it's not much, but it would be interesting to see how far we go until "your go to Chinese Takeout order" and "what podcasts you listen to"

Hooray, Sway Ray Pay Day... May Bay? K. Also the swaying isn't anything, I can't even stand in place for long periods of time so at least it's a swivel back and forth like a dance, instead of what typically happens - an award contestant puts the device above the podium and keeps rapidly pressing even though they were locked out. Anything to calm contestants down and let them do well!

Sometimes it's best to just take the prize money and shut up. Did he spend twenty minutes trying to convince Ken and the judges that "Treasure Bonds" "were first sold in 1908, at a price equivalent to about $27,000 today" And also, most quiz leagues and quiz anything are very light hearted, so it just sounds like a guy who passed a jeopardy test, probably was in the holding pool for a couple years because "I beat James Holzhauer at TCONA" isn't as much of a flex or interesting anecdote as "one of my personsal items is in the Smithsonian" or "my cat is named after a doctor who character" And he's now on scorched earth, I just pray this isn't the start of some sort of Batman-style Rogue Origin story.

I don't think he's going to be invited to one of Buzzy's trivia nights. The secret to jeopardy is the wagering and buzzer speed, the second the light turns on, you gotta react fast. And those that can figure out the exact last syllable of Mayim or Ken of their reading speed tend to do well. If you wanted "how good are you at trivia where everybody gets the same question and you fill it in", the closest would be The Big Fat Quiz and even then, they'll be upset it's not "played seriously"

At least jeopardy, we already know the name location and occupation by Inside Jeopardy Guitarist Johnny Gilbert so everything else is just "hey, it says here in college you used to have a Bizarre Job to make money?" And then you find out somebody worked as a translator for anime or something. There's nothing you could really do with "Televisedinsanity from Something Awful Forums, tell us about yourself" Uh.... I like... food? "That's great, pick up those signaling devices for the $2,000 toss up, WHAT ARE YOU DOING is the category"

Celebrity Jeopardy was actually one of the best episodes of the season. Mayim was still slightly awkward in the interviews, but I think this was what was originally envisioned with the three rounds room for banter concept.

They are trying to prop her with the intros and the occasional "funny quip" ("yes, and they are delicious!) I think the problem is mostly Mayim isn't one to improvise and that's her weakspot, especially in the get to know the contestants ("yes, thank you for that") And I just chalk it to her demeaner. Mayim is playing the role of host, not actually hosting. But because of her celebrity and possible nodes ("she's a smart woman who was on a sitcom, so she must be funny!") is proof maybe the studios/Hollywood isn't always the best at casting the next host of a long running quiz show, but they love celebrity + "what are they known for?" I don't really think jeopardy is the right fit for her, but I do think if there was something that could best present her neuroscience background better, such as Brain Games, It would be a perfect fit. But I'm sitting out of this high school tournament, I think it's a swing and a miss and reminds me too much of when Wheel of Fortune does a gimmick week like "Food Lovers"/"Shopping Spree"/"Star Wars Week"/"WWE Week". I'm more happy if it's seldom or if it's just a week long special, just classic TOC qualify + 2 day combined point affair for Thurs/Friday.

I recently watched the new German version of Jeopardy and what they do is at the halfway point in the jeopardy round, they double the remaining values. That would actually give a reason to keep the highest values on later so they are worth more.

... that's right, call me cat! E: sorry this didn't get added Island Nation posted:What is the likelihood that Ken is kicked off hosting duties if Call Me Kat is canceled? It has to be less than 100% but between Paramount and Sony, who knows? I think it's a juggle internally, the jeopardy die-hards wanting the branding to be it's quiz and community, would absolutely bat for Ken, but Hollywood wanting "celebrity for pull" will throw Ken under the bus if they think it'll make a million extra viewers. If it was up to me, and I'm just a dork online like everybody else - Ken should just get the proper Jeopardy, and then for any gimmicks, get a special host. Mayim can take Celebrity Jeopardy, you get Buzzy for College Tournament, bring back Dan Patrick for a "Sports Jeopardy" 2 week tournament. And find your "Pop Culture Jeopardy" host in the process. Problem is, marketing the show with multiple hosts is a snag on the show. So it's easier to just have Mayim and Ken and have them switch it all about. We don't get "Doctor Mayim", which was I believe the side most people really wanted to see. TelevisedInsanity fucked around with this message at 21:12 on Mar 20, 2023 |

Brian is a great dude, friend of the guy for years, he's always been the one to take the test and audition and waiting to hear back. I'm glad he not only got selected, but became champ. It's a win in the game show fandom. I think the Hitler comparison is lazy, right up there with "Pringles guy" - I like to think he was going for a Tony Schiavone from 80s world championship wrestling days. He was a real throwback to the 80s style contestant giving that "I'm good" and reacting to what's going on. I'm just glad there was a personality, and I can't wait to see him in Second Chance tournament and probably in three years on The Chase.

From what I remember from the Inside Jeopardy podcast they have increased the values in regular play. 3rd place gets $2,000 2nd place gets $3,000 1st keeps the money and comes back. The only reason we forgot was a good chunk of this season was the neverending tournament of tournaments. I don't think they'll increase the values on the board anytime soon, but only because of budget of television being reduced almost across the board. What's also wild is the values on Stephen Fry's version of jeopardy in the UK and Australia £25/50/75/100/150 (for two rounds) £50/100/150/200/300 Final. And $50/100/150/200/300 $100/200/300/400/600 But then again, I'm going to wait and see with those two versions. I'm happy Ken is the sole host, I do wish Mayim success on another Sitcom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPM3uWhIA3o Also happy that good friend of mine Brian is going to the ToC. I think it's still a bit sad guy with Pringle Guy hair and mustache gets compared to one of the worst people on earth. But, I'm hoping this is a good redemption story for him. Jeopardy is still such a delightful show

Jeopardy! and other game shows are guided by a distinct set of union provisions known as the Network Television Code, meaning that while Jeopardy!’s writers are members of the WGA and thus were part of the strike—many were prominent figures on picket lines in Los Angeles and New York—the rest of the staff and crew were not. SAG-AFTRA—which began its own strike in July and of which Bialik and Jennings are both members—explicitly advises non-striking members to continue to work per the terms of their contracts; to do otherwise can weaken the union’s negotiating power because it indicates that members might not follow the letter of the contract.

The concept is they show you a photo and you have to identify it. The example photos are like rubber bands, dice, a ladybug, nails, string, cars, a wrench. These are actual examples. There are zero catches, you’re not having to dodge fireballs or hula-hoop or anything at the same time. You just have to able to see a clear photo of a strawberry and say “strawberry.” (Photo of Strawberry) "...pass" (STRAWBERRY in Graphic as 3 seconds go down) (photo of Tangerine) "... Orange? Pass."

Unless you're sure you don't know the category, and want to be an Alex Jacob, go big. Especially when nobody else will answer it. It's right up there with when wheel of fortune contestants solve and take the fast $1,000 instead of spinning to call a double or triple wheel value on the remaining part of the most.
