Re: Tuesday, January 2, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

Just as bad when sticking with the same category for clue 2. I think Sophia felt Shakespeare was in her wheelhouse, seeing as she went to it right away and knew "Birnam Wood" in the bottom box. Which makes her meager DD2 wager all the more mysterious. But I agree she should've gone to a d...

Re: Wednesday, June 14, 2023 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

Was "Man From U.N.C.L.E." made into a film? I think maybe, but knew from the category that it had to be a 60s TV series made into a movie. Was wracking my brain but couldn't think of any "M.I." characters' names except Capt. Clarence Oveur.

Every Trekkie J fan in America: How TF could such a softball FJ clue be a TS? Every normal J! Fan in America: Who TF is Pavel Chekov? A few of you guessed Ilya Kuryakin, and I wish I had thought of him. Like most, I was stuck on the spy angle, and couldn't think of any character names from Mission I...

Does anyone else think Laura's illegible henscratching would not have been accepted had the game been on the line? When her response was revealed, Mayim said, "Who is ... uh" Then Laura interjected, "I scratched out my first answer and wrote Travolta. Then Mayim responded, "Yes J...

Popping by while reddit is down for a few days. Love Suresh and his comebacks! Same here. Since he posts over at r/jeopardy, I was hoping to ask Suresh why he went to NARRATOR OF THE NOVEL with the 11th clue in the J round with four other categories available. He obviously detested it with a $5 wag...

I'm fairly certain that will never come up as a J! clue.

Mary Ann annoys me. I don't know why, but I hope she doesn't end up as a 10-time champion after the teen tourney.

Time for 2 weeks of Kardashianesque pop culture during the dreaded teen tournament. Better bone up on my Dancing With The Stars knowledge.

Gerald would've gotten one last chance at breaking into the black if there hadn't been a sponsored category (National Geographic) plus for another movie opening this week starring an actress I've never heard of. I was pulling for him after he went all-in on his DD. I guess I've resigned myself to th...

Re: Thursday, November 1, 2018 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

Jeff missed his one chance at avoiding a runaway by not knowing his legal-thriller authors: John Grisham is most associated with Mississippi/Deep South and Scott Turow with Chicago. As it turned out, neither knew the two FJ rivers (only Kathleen, who was not a factor in the rest of the game), so it ...

Richard Branson was my only guess on FJ even though I knew the segue is anything but a household device.

Adam and Swapna appeared to be impersonating a pair of wax dummies from Madame Toussaud's in the first half of DJ. Thank goodness Swapna came to life in the second half to avoid a lock game. A lot of younger viewers were probably scratching their heads after the FJ reveal. "How can chocolate sy...

Re: Millionaire 2018-19 Season Discussion [SPOILERS]

OOOOH, I better catch up. I didn't get any theater questions in my game, but I recently saw a question about a musical featuring the song 'Halloween' and I had no clue, so really there are no easy questions on Millionaire . Correction: There are no easy questions beyond the $5,000 level on Milliona...

For the second time in a few weeks, ABC has seen fit to preempt Jeopardy! in Houston (1 p.m.) for a pointless, unnecessary "Special Bulletin" with information that could've been gleaned, for people who crave such useless minutiae, from PBS, CNN or any one of a dozen or so other networks t...

Re: Monday, October 22, 2018 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

I feel like this FJ was essentially a "you know it or you don't" type. Yes, I'm sure it was possible to use the hints and come up with it, but I'm skeptical that many people who had never heard this fact before actually came up with the correct response. I did not, by the way. I think you...

The year had me thinking of Nixon and California so I guessed on Palm Springs. Ms. Post seemed a likely socialite resident of that high-dollar neighborhood. Flabbergasted by the four TS's on "Cowboys." Having grown up in Houston, Travolta was an easy get. But I thought every American schoo...

On Colonial for $400, I said "Marry" for the amount of land or livestock a man needed to do something. I knew only property owning males could vote in Colonial America but never realized states had placed such specific strictures on it.

I hate it when AT says things like, "Are you sure you wouldn't like to go to a different category after three straight TS's on "band books." I was 3/3 and hoping to run the category. Sure enough Julie switched over, and none of them went back to "Band Books" until it had the...

Guessed Mars, because I know it has several named features. I thought Pluto was booted out of the solar system about 10 years ago.
