Re: Monday, March 18, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Between Yogesh's comment in lieu of a response in FJ and Ken's comment afterward, the two of them exactly echoed what has been going through my mind since I watched (astonished) how Yogesh lost the Game 1 that he should have won, by wagering $0 in FJ and allowing himself to be caught from behind in...

Re: Friday, March 15, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Can anyone figure out what he was going for? If you ignore Ben and are focusing only on the leader's score, if Troy makes the likely wager and misses, then Yogesh bet just enough to beat him by a dollar on a get. But not looking at 3rd's doubled score is a pretty glaring error. And really there is ...

I didn't know JPJ was of Scottish origin, but I figured we were looking for a navy man and he was as good a guess as any.
That wager by Yogesh was a choice.

Re: Season 40 Preemptions
Alas, the March 14, 2024 ToC QF3 DJ! and FJ! have been preempted in Cleveland by tornado warning coverage. As of 9:09 PM Eastern, the preemption coverage is still going. I'm headed to bed. Here in Indianapolis the weather seemingly took out Wheel, Jeopardy, and possibly all three hours of Law and O...

Re: 2024 Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament
I was under the impression that he was a controversial figure for the show, hence him not being invited back since he played in his ToC (though I don't know that there were any real opportunities for him aside from the tournament that was played in teams?). This impression is mistaken; he was never...

Actor Ryan O'Neal, age 82. Probably best known for Love Story , for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe and an Academy Award. Next week's winning O'Brien's Pub Quiz team is going to have a wealth of names to pick from. I bet the winner is something like "Death Means Never Having to Say Y...

Re: Monday, March 11, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
The buzzer was clearly with Luigi early in the game, but maybe Troy figured it out by the end of the game. The change in Troy’s buzzing in Double Jeopardy was simply absurd. 4 for 23! And then 13 for 27. Very curious if he made a drastic shift in technique or somehow just managed to will himself e...

The Dave Navarro show is singular. I answered it as plural but Ken gave the correct answer as singular making me wonder if he’d have let me get away with adding the sMarkBarrett wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2024 8:14 pm End of the semis: https://j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=8841

Re: Wednesday, March 6, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Yeah I like the subject matter of the clue but I don’t love the precision required to answer it correctly. I knew this was a Baldwin work and what he was talking about but I didn’t know if I should use the date of the emancipation proclamation, 1863, or 1865, which could be the end of the war, Junet...

Re: Fun with Fox's "The Floor"
There should have been something else for the final showdown, not sure what, but the whole show was building to this and then it was...just another 90 second match. Which actually only took about 55 seconds. The definition of anticlimactic. Something like 2 out of 3 for the final would make sense, e...

Re: Monday, February 26, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Definitely disappointed by the outcome. I was expecting Cris to at least make it to the semifinals, but guess this wasn't meant to be. At least we had super-champions with 19+ wins make it to the semifinals in past ToC's (e.g. David Madden, Julia Collins*, James Holzhauer**, Jason Zuffranieri, and ...

Re: Jeopardy! Masters renewed for Season 2
Get Roger Craig and Alex Jacob on there with Holzhauer, and I'm interested. Give us whoever wins this year skip all the people from last year, and throw in 4 others from the last ten years. We know the people capable of it. L. Kelly, M Jackson would top the non-winners, but Craig and Jacob should t...

I got this right but hesitated a bit, Adelaide was not a Queen, she was a Queen Consort, is it reasonable to refer to her as this clue did?

Re: LearnedLeague 99 (LL99) Thread
I also missed HRE with Prussia. What do you think made HRE a WECIB? I figured I knew with certainty that there were two Prussian kings named Frederick, with one of them being arguably one of the most famous historical figures ever, so it seemed like a pretty good guess. Well, even if Frederick I (B...
