Another dud game. I haven't watched a College Tourney before; for those who are regular viewers, is the competition usually this weak?

No. It's like whoever seeded the tournament did it wrong and put all the terrible people together on two days.

And then the champ couldn't figure out that the Olympic event originally called "quin-something" would now be called "pentathlon," after Alex made fun of one of the other contestants for spelling it wrong.

Sadly, Barrett's voice was not loud enough to un-preempt Jeopardy, in favor of this SF-SD preseason football game.

Aww yeah, nothing like seeing all three contestants write nothing during Final Jeopardy when you said the answer during the "Think" music. :smug:

Whoever wrote the closed captioning just missed the point of the category and wrote "What are 'dirth' and 'Earth'?"

# ¿ Apr 23, 2014 03:13

CPColin: Sep 9, 2003; Big ol' smile.

Correct. The category was "D Minus," where the responses would be two words, where the second was the first word, minus one "D." The captioner should have written, "What are 'dearth' and 'Earth'?" Knowing the category would have bailed out whoever made that typo.

I guessed "our brown brothers," so I would not have beaten Ken Jennings.

Shameful performance by the contestants during the Ghostbusters category. But good job, lady in second, not risking anything on Final Jeopardy, because the worst she could do was tie for second.

Does the no ties rule also apply to second and third place? Because both challengers bet it all on Final and missed, winding up with 0, but it looked like they had different amounts from Aleve on their consolation prize displays to me for some reason. Was it just something I missed because I'm tired or do I need to get my eyes checked or something?

The woman in the middle got $2,000 and the guy at the end got $1,000. We were confused about it, too. Maybe they break the tie by picking the player who momentarily held the highest score?

We were trying to figure out what that meant, then just assumed that the lady killed her kids.

I expected Lydia to be really tiny, but then Erin was there, looking shorter than Danny DeVito.

I kept laughing at Lydia's wince after every answer she wasn't 100% sure about. Which was almost all of them.

I hope he somehow uses the break to buy some more shirts. Maybe some that actually fit.

I liked today when the guy who had no shot at taking over first place and no chance of third place catching him bet everything on Final Jeopardy, got it wrong, and left with $1,000.

At least, with Lisa gone, Alex can stop being such a creep, mentioning her youth every episode.

I like how Lilly gave shouts out to her favorite places, instead of her favorite people. And she pushed her sleeves up all the way into her armpits. And we was trailing after the first day by freaking $5,000 and still made it a runaway!

Nan's wager on Thursday helped a bit, too, because it made her gun-shy yesterday.

The eventual champ's wager was pretty atrocious, too. Why wager more than a dollar? Or anything at all and just go to the tiebreaker if the other guy doubles up?

And still mad about Scrooge. They all call him "Uncle!"

My girlfriend and I found that clue to be one of those, "Wait, what are they asking?" moments. She did recognize Brando, though.
