Honestly the GOAT tournament felt like a conclusion to the Trebek era of contestants so I'd just as soon not see them again but that's just me.

The Mighty Moltres posted:"Who are the Talking Heads?" should not have been accepted. There is no "the". IIRC the general rule is that no ones gives a gently caress about articles unless it's an Invisible Man/The Invisible Man situation.

Anyway if you go back and check the tape it's obvious he said Who Are the "Talking Heads?" and not Who Are "The Talking Heads?"

lol I knew who that was gonna be right off the bat. I remember not liking him much on his first appearance, but I just assumed I was being judgey and it was just nerves on his part. Guess not!

Fitzy Fitz posted:He really phones it in, and the job's already a joke I mean if anyone's phoning it in it's Vanna IMO. Don't get me wrong, I think she did a great job hosting when Pat was out a few years back but her role on the show seems completely vestigial at this point.

I'm not suggesting they get rid of her or anything. She's part of the show's DNA at this point.

I can see Ken doing some of these, like on the Saudi Arabia question just tossing in "yeah, driving cars" but I think he makes it more of a casual aside and it doesn't feel so showy, I guess?' IDK I don't want to make it sound like I'm just ragging on a woman for a tone thing but I really do think she has a kind of "know-it-all" energy to her hosting that Ken doesn't seem to have.

RC and Moon Pie posted:I couldn't remember a name but knew it had to be a doctor of Booth's. I remember an Antiques Roadshow episode that had someone bring in a cane Mudd had carved while incarcerated and I think they mentioned that date. I only remember it because of the urban legend that the saying ”his name is mud” (also repeated in National Treasure) comes from his name and this event

Also in the era of the internet you’re not limited to what’s being actively broadcast to you. You have your pick of virtually anything created now or in the past. That’s not technically new but in the past decade or so it’s been easier than ever to have that accesss

Spokes posted:their dynamic really does highlight how goofy the casting for this is, it's "the guy we're constantly reminded went toe-to-toe with ken" versus 5 pretty good players from the last couple years. they couldn't wait two weeks until they get another superchamp? what's jonathan fisher doing? James is in kind of a weird position because he came right at the end of Trebek’s run so he hasn’t been around as long as Brad or Ken. He doesn’t really fit in either generation of super champs

BaronVonVaderham posted:Our current champ has a 3 day total that would be a meh one day total. What the hell is going on with these contestants lately? It's the end of the season, did they start deliberately picking awful contestants because they used up their budget? The era of the super champ is over! Now begins the era of meh!

BaronVonVaderham posted:I think I say this every time they swap off. Any time someone with a total under the max wager says that phrase, she just moves on and assumes it means just what they have, not the actual max. It's just good practice IMO because anyone in that situation is going to instinctively want to say the thing so clarifying is good
