Re: Monday, March 18, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

Chat had J! name dropping with Victoria, Susannah and Brandon by Troy followed by Yogesh mentioning Juveria, David & Red Bull. At this point of game six coming, exactly when did the earthquake happen? It can't be a spoiler now to share the timing. No way I can solve that FJ! clue in 30 seconds a...

Re: Reretaken Down

When watching the Apple TV+ series Manhunt about catching Booth after the assassination my ears perked up for a possible FJ! clue when I heard Lincoln call (Secretary of War) Stanton by the nickname, "Mars".

Re: Reretaken Down

A stunning TIL (today I learned) as I was listening to '80s music on one of my TV's music channels while doing computer work. "Sweetheart" came on and I was able to quickly recall the song I first heard over 40 years ago as it begins. I mentally told myself it's by Frankie and the Knockout...

Re: Friday, March 15, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

... And did Troy simply flub making the lockout water for FJ? Is this any justification for betting what he did? I suppose it's not technically a lockout, because Ben was in third, but seems like he wagered more or less based on Ben's score rather than Yogesh's. Yogesh Raut: 20400-5200=15200 Troy M...

Yogesh made a comment about lunch soon when beginning the game at FOOD & DRINK. The joke was on all three guys as the clue went TS and Yogesh cracked about there went the perfect game. Ben finally found a DD and then found another to make the tally 8-2-2 in Troy's favor for uncovering them. Troy...

Re: Thursday, March 14, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

Ken opened with a video replay of the big DD3 play yesterday and said it's the 3rd biggest DD wager behind two by James. Yogesh opened with humor in announcing he's a week from 40, so SONGS OF YOUTH. Yogesh dropped a couple of names at chat with Michael Cavaliere and Troian Bellisario. The game had ...

Re: 2024 Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament

I'm a bit surprised to see Victoria Groce. There's no question she's a phenomenal quizzer, but she only won a single game on Jeopardy! Of course she did have to beat David Madden to do so. Michael Davies wants the best players on the Alex Trebek Stage. In various ways since her 2005 J! appearance V...

Partly my fault for taking archiving breaks to read JIT stuff and partly the writers fault for too many clues with marks above names that the OCR can't handle.

Nice, representation for Chasers and a Master Mind.

Only one Producer pick for Masters. Hmmm, it's easy to spot a few names missing from JIT. The list narrows.

Re: Wednesday, March 13, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

Forgot to mention in my previous comments that I laughed out loud at DD2 as Yogesh pretended to pull a common name out of thin air. I got his humor immediately since I had the clue solved as soon as it was revealed. Good one to show Yogesh is having fun even in a contest with high stakes.
