Yeah I 100% agree with you, she not only comes off as a know it all but also at the same time as someone who knows nothing about the content of the show and the combination of the two is a train wreck.

So on the Insider podcast Davies has mentioned he's thinking about letting former contestants back on, especially those who were on the tournaments as kids who are now adults.

I imagine if they do open the "floodgates" it would be with a caveat that X years would have to pass between shows. But I think it's a good thing overall. There are a lot of excellent quizzers out there who have had their shot. Victoria Groce was on back in 2005. I'd love to see what she could do now, in 2023. I'm personally a much better quizzer than I was back in 2018, and I know a lot of other people who have been on who are in the same situation.

Duckman2008 posted:IMO the rule should be people who haven’t won games (sorry Hookshot) or def like, 3+ games or wherever you want to set the bar. You can’t let Julia back on to crush people for 20 straight games. As long as the new rule re-eligibles me, I'm happy with whatever your opinions are lol. I have won as many games as Victoria Groce, so I'm hoping this works in my favour.

Timby posted:Mayim is a WGA member. Ken is not. He's not being a scab by taping a day of shows next week, not if the clues were all written prior to the strike. Given as Sony has an active picket line and that to get to the set Ken has to cross it... I was in college last time there was a strike and didn't especially give a poo poo, but yeah, while it might not *technically* count as scabbing it's a lovely look.

Cognac McCarthy posted:I'm not actually sure the guild has asked non-members to refuse to work on shows they're picketing. It could be scabbing for him to cross the picket line or it could be that it's not, according to what the guild is doing anyway The closest I can find is this Q&A with a guy from WGA who's been authorized to speak with the media about it. The questions are more about what writers who want to be future WGA members should be doing, or people who are WGA members but have non-writing roles: https://www.moviemaker.com/writers-strike-rules-pre-wga/ quote:MovieMaker: I saw one writer-director online who said they were going to stop production of their short film now, in solidarity. I don’t know if they intended to sell it to anyone during the strike. But do you have a position on whether that’s the right thing to do? quote:MovieMaker: You said “meetings” — that includes any meeting with a representative of a signatory in which you even talk hypothetically about a project? So while this doesn't explicitly say that anyone who's not a member should refuse to work on a show that's being picketed, their goal is to shut down production on the shows, and so I think it's reasonable to assume the guild would consider J! going ahead during an active picket to be scabbing.

You're all right, I should have said crossing a picket line instead of scabbing. Bialik isn't a member of WAG either, but she is part of SAG-AFTRA.

rockinricky posted:I had to unfollow Jeopardy on Facebook because they would have obvious spoilers posted by noon. Yeah, they stopped doing this (I started following them again since I'm like six months behind and gently caress it, I'm not going to remember a random social media post from today in December) as badly as they used to, when it was like "HERE'S THE ANSWER TO TODAY'S FINAL IN A GIANT IMAGE" posted seven hours before the episode aired in my market, but they still post the video for final every night hours before the game. Like, come on, it's not that hard to just do it the next day.

Zero One posted:https://www.avclub.com/jeopardy-winners-wont-cross-the-picket-line-for-toc-1850672724 Yeah, Ray rules. Chris, Hannah and Troy (that I know of) have also said they won't show up in solidarity if they choose to go ahead with this, so it's going to be the most laughable ToC of all time if the top four seeds all refuse to show up and they still go ahead with it.

Second and third place prizes are going up to 3k and 2k They're also running S40 as a "second chance" tournament for people in S37 and S38, although I personally know of some people who have been contacted who won multiple games so who the gently caress knows, but this is using a mix of old clues that never got used, and recycled clues, because OF COURSE IT IS.

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:I've been seeing some rumors that Miyam may not return to Jeopardy in season 40. So far they just seem to be rumors, but supposedly Ken has already replaced her as Celebrity Jeopardy host. That latter part is confirmed, because she's on strike and he isn't. They're using material for Celebrity J! that was written before the writer's strike. I wouldn't be surprised if this strike ends up getting Mayim pushed out permanently over Ken. He did the majority of the hosting during the season, including the last couple of weeks. People are just used to having him and almost exclusively him on their TVs now.

Yeah, I'm still months behind but TBH have no interest in these upcoming tournaments, despite friends of mine actually being involved in them. The fact that there are no new contestants until next April is absolutely wild, and means I don't have any incentive to get through the four or so more months of new episodes on my PVR.

I play a bunch of online leagues now, that generally have harder content than Jeopardy. I don't mind watching J! still, it's its own separate thing, but I don't do it because I think it's hard level trivia.

Timby posted:I still watch every day, but I agree that these tournaments aren't grabbing me at all. They've certainly taped everything through the rest of the year (earlier this week, there was a chyron saying that the episode had been taped in early October; the answer to the question was Matthew Perry), so I'm hoping they wrap up soon and we get to Season 40 episodes proper. There are no new contestants until April of next year, because of all the tournaments. Timby posted:In any event, every now and again I chuckle at the thought of Yogesh sitting at home and alternating between pouting and fuming that he wasn't invited to any of these tourneys. Yogesh got an automatic invitation to the Tournament of Champions either last week or two weeks ago. He's not in any of them because he's bypassing them entirely.

I'm not surprised the question disappeared, just because there's no editorializing doesn't mean it's not hard for some people to read questions about an ongoing genocide. It's the same reason why a lot of women insisted that there not be questions about Dobbs v Jackson in the aftermath of Roe v Wade being overturned. You don't want to read about lovely things happening to you/people close to you/people from your same demographic while they're still happening. Anyway yeah LL is fun, it also takes a bit to get used to the question style. You might not move around a lot, I went from R to C to B to A over the course of about three years and while I came VERY close to being relegated from A a couple of times, I started in 88 so in 11 seasons I've only moved three times, and that includes the post-R shift after season one.

banned from Starbucks posted:Why would you ring in on that last clue. It amazes me how people this dumb get on this show. I haven't seen the episode in question but it sounds like there was a tie or just barely a runaway? I can tell you from personal experience that you do not know what your own score is for much of the game. I knew at the beginning of rounds, before daily doubles, and at the end of rounds. The rest of the time I didn't have the opportunity to look at the scores at all. It's on the other side of the room from the board, way up high, and you're just focused on the clues and the game.

I finished 13th in my rundle in LL (I’m in A and trying to qualify for the LLRC) but literally faced relegation on the last day then won on defense. I didn’t play especially badly but I finished second in my rundle in CAA, basically everyone I played had the day of their life against me this season

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:Plus, I think a lot of James' cockiness on the show is a persona. I don't think he has a problem with confidence irl but he's embraced the branding of 'Jeopardy villain' and goes with it (e.g: the 'final boss' stuff). But he always seems to shake people's hands after the games and seems to genuinely congratulate their success. In person I think he'd be perfectly fine. I have it on very good authority that this is not the case and James is very much an rear end in a top hat IRL.
