How is it possible that Alex doesn't know that the Greek letter mu is pronounced "miu", not "moo" ????????????????

I've heard it both ways.

All my Russian math TAs pronounced pi as "pee" and were legit mystified whenever someone would say "pie".

As a former longtime mastiff owner and devotee of the breed, I agree that "mastiff" should not have received a BMS. To say a bullmastiff is a "type of mastiff," however true in some sense, plays fast and loose with the established names for breeds. (It's a little like arguing "dog" should have recei...

Mental note, Richard Donner was never nominated for an Oscar

BTW, I think your listed JBoard handle in the archive is incorrect.

For various reasons I've explored in the past it won't be helpful to add a checkbox for an incomplete game, at least, no more helpful than noting as much in the game comments that appear at the top of the game, which should always be done for incomplete games. In order to "fabricate" a score for an ...

The answer to the S18 question is that when GSN re-aired that season several times over, I entered the skeletons and got all the media captures but didn't put in the clues. Unfortunately GSN also stripped out all the original fee plugs which included the mention of the consolation prizes, so only Ma...

I liked the time-elapse video of the entire day's green room activity that is up on the official Facebook page. Tried to figure out what movies they were watching by looking at them as they blazed by. The second one is The Princess Bride (any FJ! wagering tips from Fezzik?) and the third is one of t...

Thanks for that small victory

Did we hear from the contestants if there was any official review?

Lisa posted elsewhere that she was thrown halfway through responding because of the unconventional overlap, paused, and started again at the beginning of the overlap to make sure she got it out right. I'm sure this is true, but there is even more to it. After watching and listening a million times ...

2) A "Before & After" requires some "after," a unique suffix after the linking middle.

Wouldn't that be "-ostrophe"?

I can understand lumping mispronunciations in with repetitions and stutters, but to me they're different.

once her response was accepted, I didn't expect a reversal. I don't think a reversal would have been fair since Lisa wasn't offered the opportunity to say her response again. Tell that to Allen Goodman... or the many other players who see a slight mispronunciation result in a reversal with no oppor...

Like a stutter and a reiteration of what came immediately before the stutter. It's the only explanation that makes sense, but if you're allowed to start over in the middle of a BEFORE & AFTER response to repeat the linking part, it kind of ruins the point of the category. (Would "undefeated boxer.....

CC'er was pretty generous there and/or influenced by the response being ruled correct

Was no one else surprised that Alex didn't recall money for Lisa's response of "What is will.i.am... biambic pentameter?"

I think any contractual power the producers have is far outweighed by the general apathy studio audiences have when it comes to game outcomes. The studio audience is usually asked not to reveal game outcomes but it's not like they're under some kind of enforceable NDA. If there was anything to be ga...
