Which lends itself to another suggestion I made months ago. Day one: two single J! rounds, Day two: two DJ! rounds.

In general, or because there were so many super champs this time?This Is Kirk! wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 1:51 pm I like the new format. I figure the ToC, and especially the ToC finals, are the most exciting Jeopardy! games, so why not give us more of them?

Idea for future TOCs...
The finals round was just too long, I didn't like the format at all. Here is what I would suggest, but first a bit of my reasoning. One thing that did make this tournament a bit exciting was some of the strategic wagering. That being said... At the end of each game in the finals, scores are added up...

Augh. I've had it up to here with categories like "Vocabulary Words". If they're going to have a category like that (and I hate that type of wordplay to begin with), at least leave the word up on the screen so viewers can see it. Drives me crazy. Amen Bravo Do they then also have to put t...

Re: Thursday, November 17, 2022 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Those are good wagers. Amy had to think Sam wouldn't let Andrew into the game so she wagered to cover Sam's 6399 wager, yet stay above his 5001 wager if they were both wrong. Sam, thinking Amy might short the wager (which she did) just went all in which was a good move. Amy had nothing to gain by w...

Instaget for me as well. Big fan of the group she's in but not really a fan of her solo stuff.

Rather specific categories there, would be surprised to see any show up.
For me, sports team relocations
American coinage

Wow, just wow. I can’t believe Jeopardy caliber players missed all of these. I’d think 5 MAX. I went for MRI instead of X-ray.

Re: Friday, May 20, 2022 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Interesting scores. This was one time Ryan should have bet for the tie and not the win. A bet of 3000 for Ryan would have guaranteed at least a tie and if Li bet 6000 to try to beat a 3001 bet he’d still tie if he was wrong and she was right. But I can’t kill him over the 5000 wager. I think Ryan mi...

Excluding Amy and Mattea, the average winner (n=59) has attempted to buzz 34.98 times. The average non-winner (n=182) has attempted to buzz 31.14 times. I can see the headline at a typical news site now: ATTEMPTING TO BUZZ IN MORE ON JEOPARDY INCREASES CHANCE OF WINNING. Less reputable sites, of co...

I have fact checked this the best I can, and my replay shows our Neuroscientist host pronouncing philanges as "philanjiz". I had no path to the FJ. I transposed Johnny Mercer with Johnny Mathis and guessed "Chances are". Mayim others herself with her pronunciations, e.g. singer....

nicely called by Mayim on "Fifty cents". I was surprised that "Fifty Cent" was accepted. I thought it was common knowledge that the "50" in "50 Cent" is properly pronounced "Fitty". But the show doesn't penalize mispronunciations provided they are p...
