You haven't lived until you've been utterly dominated in Quiz Bowl by a 5-day Jeopardy champ. It was like 4 or 5 years ago and I still have flashbacks.

AA is for Quitters posted:From what I heard part of what they look for are contestants that'll give others a fighting chance. They don't want someone who'll just run away with everything like Jennings did because its not as fun to watch. Jennings was incredibly compelling, though. I'm taking the test tomorrow. Central time zone whatuuuuuuuup

I think I did all right. Probably in the 40ish range. I think I at least put down reasonable guesses for the ones I didn't know. I do tend to fall into a groove of ignoring category names though.

I knew they taped multiple episodes in a day, but for some reason I've never thought to look at their clothes. Do they bring multiple outfits or just switch ties or do they straight up wear the same clothes?

Wow, I can't believe none of them got the Final Jeopardy question today. I did a report on that guy in like 5th grade. Also, central time zone folks, the test starts in an hour.

Unkempt posted:Do they get what you've typed anyway or do you have to press the button? If it's the former, I think they have 'gre ggse an' for that one. I would assume they get what you typed. At least I hope so because I let time run out on each one intentionally because my touchpad on my laptop does weird poo poo sometimes.

Words cannot express how much I want to strangle every contestant from today with all their category jumping. There was a point where literally all that was left was the $400 clue in every single category.

I don't care if it's good strategy to hunt Daily Doubles I loving hate it e: and then he keeps category hopping after the Daily Doubles are depleted. loving kill yourself Arthur Chu. Alfred P. Pseudonym fucked around with this message at 22:38 on Jan 30, 2014 |

Man it's lame as hell when all the remaining clues are for $400-$800 and there's no chance that one of the trailing players will catch up and make Final Jeopardy interesting. Also I was pretty surprised no one got Final Jeopardy. The clue was a bit vague but it wasn't too hard to work out. e: Sofi started so strong but holy poo poo as soon as she missed that Daily Double she just fell apart.

I felt really bad for the second place guy. He knew exactly what he had to do at the end of Double Jeopardy and he was so close to getting within range and then he knew the Final Jeopardy question and Rutter didn't and I could just feel his pain.
