A lock! And nearly a full-game lead! Very, very nicely done, Kristin!

Brad is younger than me, as well, and Ken is only a couple of weeks older. I am pleased that decrepit old folks such as myself can still kick ass on quiz shows.

Roger, Pam, Russ

So, I just received news that our own Jeanie Kenkel (a.k.a. thejeopardyfan), after many years of work, finally taped Jeopardy on 7 December and has an airdate of 28 March! Congratulations, Jeanie!

No, that isn't what I was thinking of. I was referring to how Nick calculated the odds etc in the TOC standings. Granted he started that because he'd been a player, but I enjoyed it. I felt so full of myself for being all quantitative with that list... until Roger sent me a link to the video about ...

Okay, after a gentle (and totally warranted) prompt, I've attempted to update the appearance list at the top of this thread. If I've missed anyone, either upcoming or already-aired, please let me know via PM or something.

nick, can we get the top of this thread updated for okstater and dmleach (december 29)?

Done. Sorry to all about my poor curation of the list recently.

Congrats to Buddy for hanging in there in a very tough game! And seeing someone who was expressive as you were on stage is a nice change; most contestants (myself very much included) don't seem to be able to relax enough to show a genuine emotion stronger than "mild disappointment" or "moderate happ...

So is there any chance a small wager (playing for the triple stumper) was the best play (for both 2nd and 3rd)? In my opinion, it's a pretty tough ask to expect lanny to bet exactly 5200. The contestants aren't game theory experts, after all. I don't expect Jeopardy contestants to be game theory ex...

My wife just finished watching the series Edward the King, a 13-hour biography of Edward VII, of which approximately 6 hours is occupied by the recitation of the titles of the likes of Edward, Queen Victoria, and Kaiser Wilhelm II. In that spirit, I would like the title "Jeopardy Champion, Loyal Je...

so yeah, that's true, although the g+ post was not public. anyway, now that the cat is out of the bag, so to speak, i don't have to continue the charade that maybe-just-maybe-i-kept-right-on-winning. Eep; sorry. Given the show's rules, I figured a G+ post was as good as a board post. Sorry about th...

Congratulations, Katie! As the others have said, that was quite a clinic you put on last night. FWIW, I made the same "bad guess" you did.

He copped to it on his Google+ post about last Friday's game.

I'll update my probability estimates when Joon finally loses. I believe he's already admitted to playing in the ToC; so, as hard as it is to believe given his combination of buzzer speed, aggressive DD wagering, and excellent luck, it must have happened eventually. I expect that the estimates will b...

Bumping to remind everyone that katiedidwhat faces Joon "The Reaper" Pahk tonight!

You'd think Alex would have remembered Roger Craig's record win. I wonder how many individual contestants he actually remembers besides Ken Jennings. Two more wins and Joon will be meeting Roger :) Actually, given that the ToC is already in the can, two more wins and he already will have met Roger!...

Congratulations, Joon! That was a very well-played game against a couple of very tough opponents. And while I know that looks can be deceiving, you certainly seemed calm and collected up there.

Beat me to it, Rex.

About the message board, I wouldn't mind staying here forever because after all, since JBoard's debut in early July, how many one-time newbie posters came here and started a special thread to complain about something? I'm with him. I really like the idea of the board being run by the community rath...

Our first contestant: Disasters $800 (first round). "Blimp" for "dirigible" (or whatever Joe said ;) )? Personally, I would neg it -- blimps are non-rigid and no more than a giant balloon, while dirigibles are rigid -- but that doesn't mean that the show wouldn't consider them all the same. I said ...
