My favourite super easy final recently was the "Evolution" one.

Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:Any of Copernicus, Kepler, or Galileo would have been a fair guess. The only distinguishing thing was the quote. I went with Copernicus but I had no more reason to choose him than the other two. The super easy final jeopardies are really weird, I don't like them, Jeopardy is supposed to end with a difficult question, drat it.

I had a friend over for a couple of weeks and it was hilarious when we'd watch Jeopardy because she would get so attached to certain contestants, and whenever someone would make a big wager in a DD or final she would squeal and go "OH MY GOD LOOK HOW MUCH MONEY THEY LOST/WON!!!" and it was basically hilarious because my husband and I just watch it for the questions, and never really thought about the wagers that way.

I was definitely cheering for him after that 11k bet. Also I have a soft spot for anyone who's good at the geography categories.

I can name MAYBE ten presidents (Can you tell I'm Canadian?) and even I figured it would have been Truman or Johnson. Unfortunately I guessed Truman because he was earlier, but holy poo poo.

That certainly explains why my DVR never records the Friday episode of Jeopardy. I keep forgetting to go to the Canadian channel that has it on at 7:30 and record it then on Fridays until after I've noticed that I'm missing it, and my DVR sucks too much to go forward a whole week at a time, so I always end up forgetting.

The video that they aired sounded like what the article said originally happened, so I doubt they did retape it, or if they did I don't think they aired it.

I was so angry at the contestants two days ago who couldn't get "The Fellowship of the Ring" as the book with the chapter "The Breaking of the Fellowship". If only there was a way all three of them could have lost

Sucrose posted:"This Axis leader was captured trying to cross the Swiss Alps in 1945." The weird thing is I'm pretty sure the clue said they were trying to cross into Austria, but Mussolini was trying to get into Switzerland. But yeah thank god for that guy finally losing, though watching him get his rear end kicked in the ToC would have been rewarding.

zakharov posted:So nobody else noticed that the previous champ guessed on the very last clue, got it wrong, and thus eliminated herself from contention? Come one people! And it was a stupid guess, "Rome" is never going to be the $2000 answer in a category about Italian cities and towns (Though that said Florence was a pretty easy answer to get from that clue, too easy for $2k as well IMO)

My favourite thing about that champ that lost tonight was how he would always immediately go for the geography categories and proceed to get none of the answers.

Speaking of easy FJ... if you'd given me that category and clue and asked me to guess the value I would have said it was a $200, MAYBE $400 clue.

I won tonight wa27 posted:It baffles me how so many people say 'Weird Al' Yankovich instead of Yankovic. The only two famous people with that surname spell it without an H, so where did it come from? Even Alex commented on the correct spelling but pronounced it with the H.

GhostStalker posted:So glad Jeopardy doesn't air on CBS here in NYC, because otherwise it'd be preempted by March Madness. I give entirely no shits about college basketball, and I'm glad it doesn't really affect my TV viewing habits. Maybe this is why my PVR hasn't recorded it for the past two days, I record the Boston feed but seeing as I'm in Vancouver I have no idea about things like this. At least today I noticed before 7:30 and recorded the local one.

New form to fill out means things like that might fall through the first time around.

GhostStalker posted:Apparently, according to the Jeopardy Facebook page, you need to try it a couple of times. The person who posted the original complaint said she needed a couple attempts before it went through after the person controlling the social media account said it was fixed. Cool, thanks!

I could translate most of the spanish pretty literally (I got "little gold" but had no idea what team that referrred to) but know so few American sports teams apart from hockey ones that I answered "Denver Broncos" for the first one and was surprised when it was wrong

Welp, so the power went out here at 5:00, and didn't come back on until 8:15, so I missed the test. I have no data on my phone and the power going out meant the garage door was stuck closed, so I had no way to get to the village either. Oh well, I probably wouldn't have done well enough to get an audition anyway.

Yeah, the first test I would have done WAY better on than tonight's or yesterday's. Yesterday's I'm pretty sure I would have scored about 10, whereas I had a chance at 35 on the first day.
