Sounds to me like Alex was bitchy to her and overreacted to things, but when you're a show's Producer and "on-air talent", recording an entire week's worth of games in a single day, I guess pissiness happens. What's a shame is that her good name has been disparaged for all this time over what sounds like stuff that was way overblown.

Eisenberg sounds like a dick, but Lowe doesn't strike me as the most reliable narrator.

Considering these were conservative men running the show, I wouldn't put it past them to unfairly single her out. But what was it that made them go above and beyond? I can see barring her from the TOC, but also not sending her the money and purposefully keeping her tapes out of the rerun stack?

And I don't buy her not fighting back very hard on the grounds that Trebek was beloved and she wouldn't win. Trebek was well known, but this was the late 1980s. Trebek wasn't untouchable in 1986-87 in the couts, if he ever would have been.

Bloody hell.

Figured out where they were going in Final Jeopardy. Even knew the colonial name. Guessed Guyana instead of Suriname

I would jettison the new board fill sound so fast it'd make heads spin; sounds like a smartphone ringtone. I'd bring back the classic sound.

Go back to the 1980s Jeopardy theme.

Jeopardy strategy is fine-tuned now and everybody starts at the bottom of the board and Forrest bounces all over the place. I miss a buildup to harder clues instead of working backwards in dollar amounts points to the easier ones. I don't know how fix that except to randomize the difficulty.

I don't know why, but her throwing out whatever words hit her brain in that category bothered me. Her lead was beyond safe, but she seemed lke she *had* to buzz in rregardless.

Grant on today's episode is a quiz teammate of mine and if anyone says anything negative about him i will jump down your throat

unless he does something to deserve it; i haven't watched the episode yet. going to watch now

Started slow, had nervous energy at the end of Double Jeopardy. Nothing embarrassing.
