QuickbreathFinisher posted:If there's a tie, do both move on to the next episode? Does one of the people they originally cast for the next episode get the shaft in that case? That's kinda lovely if it's the case. In the event of a tie, both competitors return. I think there's been at least one three way tie in Jeopardy history. And the other guy would still get on, he'd just have to wait an additional episode. It's not like he'd be permanently bumped off the queue.

What's wrong with you all? Part of my main daydream of being on Jeopardy is being able to tell a semi-interesting anecdote about myself on national television.

Jeopardy will accept different forms of a word, noun vs. verb, as long as they don't go against the category description (like Rhymes with *** or Contains ***).

McSpanky posted:Yeah, when someone's asking for vowels when most of the puzzle is filled in, that's when they're just being obtuse. Spinning for more letters after you know the solution is an obvious and legit strategy, but of course there's always the danger of hitting bankrupt/lose a turn before you can cash in your fat bankroll on the answer. There are two buzzer rounds where the contestants ring in to answer, on either side of the contestants introducing themselves. That is probably what that was, since you can only buy a vowel with money you've earned in that round, so there's no other way for only a vowel to be on the board.

FadingChord posted:I was pretty positive it was Dublin (yes I know in hindsight that I am an idiot) but who the hell doesn't save at least $1? Especially the guy who was pretty decently in the lead; he could've bet conservatively to have twice the closest amount of money + $1 and still been fine. The best part of the episode was probably Trebek not being remotely flustered by the tie, but just turning straight to the camera: " Because it's a tourney, they don't even get to pocket this money anyway, so the leader has zero incentive to bet the maximum.

Mak0rz posted:I thought last night's episode was the championship final. What happens today? Do Colby, Kevin, and Kristen play again? I don't quite get it. All tournament finals are two part episodes, winner goes to best combined two day score. That's notable because when Leonard did his amazing "Normandy" answer on Final Jeopardy during the Teen Tournament, he was guaranteed to win that episode, but he could have actually been beat on two day total.

Per the J! Archive scores, for Part II of the final, if Nilai doubled up on Final Jeopardy and Leonard bets nothing, Leonard still wins that episode by about 8K. But Nilai is carrying a 16K lead from the prior episode, and would have won the overall final.

escape artist posted:That's what I meant-- aggregate score. Remember Leonard's FJ answer said "I just won $75,000!!!" I guess I could have been clearer that I meant he was guaranteed to win that episode. I was trying to explain how a two day playoff can be a difference maker versus a normal game based on carryover score.

Kiernan is a fine choice. No third WSoPC is bittersweet. On the one hand, it was great. On the other hand, the winners are friends of mine and they get to stay champs forever. But yes, Jennings is the perfect choice and that he's not even in the running is inexplicable. This should probably be a White House petition by now.
