Refreshing chemistry among the contestants. They were loose and seemed to be having fun. "It's the Mexican name for the Rio Grande." Wait, isn't "Rio Grande" already a Spanish term? Why would they call it something else when it already HAS a Spanish name?! Same here - thought they were trying to be ...

Wow is it frustrating knowing and picturing the correct answer in your brain, only to draw a blank on the object’s actual name. Got that right! The wheels just could not turn fast enough to give me the name.. really mad at myself for botching this one. Yep, same here. I thought the clue was a littl...

Any time a player hits a DD and says "I've always wanted to say this Alex..." a trap door opens under their feet.

I too wandered through the Barrymore clan for a short while before rejecting it. It seemed obvious that the noms had to be for some sort of supporting activity, which led me to composers which led me to Newman. But I kept hemming and hawing and exploring other possibilities and never actually commit...

WRONG ANSWERS = 7 twelvefootboy (Notre Dame - Indiana does not border Iowa) clprez (Washington U. in St. Louis - Division III) heppm01 (Notre Dame - Indiana does not border Iowa) Whoops, I had this mental map in mind: midwest.png The saddest part that it wouldn't have even been a singleton.

I don't think Nate had enough information to elevate James to the "one of the best ever" category. There is no question whatsoever that it's time to break out the nuclear "what if I end up playing against the next Ken Jennings?" strategy that every player should have spent a few minutes thinking ab...

I'll go on record as saying Nate's DD bet was just about right. He was dominating on the buzzer and a nice built up lead from SJ. A potentially hard (it was very hard IMHO) 2K question. If he misses it, he still has a pathway to reach FJ with a lead. 50/50 odds that someone else finds the DD3, and ...

Should I just accept this? How can I get better? I guess enough new people have joined the forum since the last time he asked this that someone is bound to fall for it, full of wild-eyed enthusiasm for "helping this hammer guy out". Welcome to the forum, new guy. Someone will be by in five pages to...

nobody else wondering why they allowed the 1000 wager when he said all in and only had 200? Allowed it? I'd wager Dave doesn't know much about gambling, but I think his intentions (if not his "boss's") were carried out... I disagree. I think they need to take the contestant as literally as possible...

Yes, another Good Grief here. While we, the reader/viewer, may refer to Linus' blanket as a security blanket, I do not recall his fellow characters calling it such - at least not very often. Whereas Good Grief occurs regularly. I'm not saying the clue is flawed but perhaps it could have been reworde...

Count me as another who precalled AS and Socrates, then immediately discarded Socrates based on the earlier Plato clue. Do contestants for the teacher's tournament need to pass one of the same audition tests as the rest of us? It seemed like there was a surprising number of egregious errors and stan...

Every single peson who has responded about this has told you exactly the opposite. It's not super obscure, it's not remotely obscure. I disagree. For a trivia devotee it is not obscure but for a "normal" person I think it is quite obscure. But as someone making the trek from the latter to the forme...

Started trying to figure how to phrase GoFundMe as a practice, made a jump to crowdsourcing with about 15 seconds to go and then another jump to crowdfunding close to time expiring. At the podium it probably would have been a near miss as I would've crossed out and rewrote the whole word instead of ...

the body bores me

You're doing it wrong.

How long is the lag between tape date and air date? I am curious when we will start seeing contestants who have seen some of James' run on TV.

37 off the video (vs 32 for real on the Tuesday test). Physics, science, biology, chemistry? Yes please! Man, that Florida test was easy. 100% agree. Wonder what they were thinking there I'm also interested in the story behind the Florida test. From the video it wasn't even challenging (I might have...

Since at this point we are just making stuff up, I'll throw this out there: I would not be surprised if the site was created by someone in the professional betting community. Someone James interacts with on a regular basis - not necessarily a friend but perhaps a co-bettor or an oddsmaker. Someone t...
