i don't mind the kids' tournament. being able to kick a seventh grader's rear end at jeopardy is one of the few ego boosts i have left on this dying rock.

Or even both kids + college? used to be the college tourney champ got a spot in the ToC, but they stopped that... what, 10- 15 years ago. nowadays being on once in any circumstance is enough to rule one as ineligible. don't know how that applies to that kids-only version gsn ran years ago.

today's final was one of those that completely and utterly stumped me. i suppose i could look it up to find out what's the big deal about that, but i don't watch jeopardy to learn, i watch it to feel smug when the contestants don't know the correct response. edit: i'm also hypocritical as gently caress. today's final was a roundabout french revolution question -- the estates-general of 1789 was formed to solve the king's financial problems with his government, with the assembly ending when the commoners (the third estate) made the national assembly and spelled the beginning of the end of louie 16 Gene Hackman Fan fucked around with this message at 02:48 on Mar 8, 2017 |

Given that the Jeopardy! facebook is a cesspit of a raging dumpster fire, complaints about the politics inherent in the most ephemeral of light entertainment formats aren't the worst thing I've read today. Don't get me wrong, it's dumb as hell, but it's not the worst.

Iron Crowned posted:I'm just that Wheel of Fortune was apparently getting better ratings than Jeopardy at some point. I mean Wheel is just such a "meh" gameshow that makes it incredibly difficult to win the big prizes. Momentum is a hell of a thing, especially considering there was a five or six year break between the last time Art Fleming hosted it and when Trebek started. Wheel had been on tv in one form or another since 1975, on NBC, CBS, and syndicated.

i wasn't paying too much attention to the names on tonight's epsiode, but when brandon mentioned having something like 600 game show themes on mp3, i thought he sounded like someone i knew. i'm still not sure, but if he is the dude i know, he was also a (5 day, i think) champ on tom bergeron's version of hollywood squares. edit: college tournament champ, still can't figure out if he's the same dude just yet.

A bit off the current subject, but I came across this and wanted to say that one of the positive things about Jeopardy fans is the homebrew crowd who put together not just their own games as well as the systems for running games as well:

going by the answers for the 9th, assuming I missed it for any answer that seemed unfamiliar, I think I got 40. of course, that’s all depending on whether or not I get called for an in-person, which hasn’t happened yet.
