Jeopardy.
Wheel of Fortune sucks in general but the prizes are stupidly done. "oh you've had $0 the entire game and couldn't guess Men's R--m but got the last puzzle right and won 2000? Well surprise that was a travel puzzle! We're sending you around the world for six months! The trip is worth $100,000! That makes you the winner now"

Jeopardy because it can help you get free food at trivia night. Wheel of Fortune is just Pat Sajek mugging for the camera while idiots play hangman.

I'd rather play Wheel of Fortune. The way the clickers work on Jeopardy, you basically have to start clicking almost as soon as the text hits the screen in order to get called; that's why occasionally you'll see someone beep in and then just look completely baffled when it's time to actually answer the question. It wouldn't be nearly as fun to actually play the game on TV as it is to guess at it from home.

There's more luck involved in Wheel, but you also get to spin a big wheel.

Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

Wheel of Fortune because I don't have the brainpower to retain research on famous underwater basket weavers or any art movements they started. Also pretty likely I'll at least get to take home more than $1000 even if I find myself playing just as dumb as other contestants.

Pat Sajak's face is incredibly small for his massive skull, so I'm gonna go with Jeopardy.



Seriously, if you stare long enough it looks like his face is getting swallowed into the middle of his giant loving head.

Be sure to take a 15-minute break every hour.
Pat is so often unintentionally an rear end that its kind of funny, feel bad for Vanna though you can tell she's rolling her eyes inside her head half the time when he speaks.

Also as a kid I thought if you ended a Jeopardy match with a negative score, that meant you had to pay that money to the show. Made the game way more tense.

Jeopardy is a way better show, but stupid people can win on Wheel so I'd rather be on that. Then again I'd rather be able to say I was on Jeopardy.

That's not true. You can only buzz in after Alex finishes reading the question. And they even tried to make it more fair (so it's not just the fastest presses-per-second) by adding a lockout time if you buzz too early. Ultimately a faster button presser will have the advantage, but it's not like you don't have time to think about the question before the buzzer opens up.

Jeopardy sucks because you can actually end up owing the show money if you’re really dumb whereas 0 is as low as you can go on wheel of fortune plus it’s empowering because a woman turns the letters on the board around even though they wired that poo poo up and figured out how to do it with computer technology they still didn’t fire her and let her use touch screens which were probably super expensive to install and program but hey it’s network tv so. Jeopardy doesn’t need a woman to do that poo poo they’ve always done that with computers or maybe just like some really homely dude in the control room. :shrug:

I was really good at Rock and Roll Jeopardy. A few people told me so when I asked them if they thought I was good at it, like if I was on it, did they think I'd win? And they said yes. Like, two people. So not a few. Two.

BUT I did like Wheel of Fortune when they had the showcase part where the person's face would be in the corner of the screen and you'd get to pick the prize you wanted. So early 80s Wheel of Fortune. Or Rock and Roll Jeopardy. OR Supermarket Sweep. Final answer.

Tonight on Jeopardy they had a football related category and not a single one of the three contestants even buzzed in on a single question.
I've never seen that before in my life.

They weren't even hard football questions either (first round category). I can see one or two contestants being turbo-spergs and not being football people or whatever, but, and not trying to be sexist here, 2 of the contestants were male and they were mostly bitch rear end easy football questions.
At one point Alex asked "Should we...go to commercial, maybe?"
The last one was a video one with a guy pointing to the names of the names of the Minnesota Vikings defensive line that go around their ring of honor in their stadium and asking for what they were referred to as (the names are all in giant Vikings purple placards and the answer is "purple people eaters" which I understand if they wouldn't have gotten) but since it was the last clue and no one had even rung in previously, when the camera came back, it went right to Alex saying "If any of you even ring in on this, I. WILL. DIIEEE." and then the buzzer went off.

Best Jeopardy segment I may have ever seen, if bizarre.
