What happened to my post?

It was a major spoiler prior to it airing in the US, so I removed it. Now that it has aired, you are welcome to re-post it.

In what universe is "Founded by students at William & Mary in 1776" a complete sentence?

so then you are saying she would be versed in mateen cleaves' nba career just because she went there?

One was a major piece in one of the best teams in NBA history.

The other did sweet FA. To try to compare the two of them is inappropriate.

[but was able to name a 2nd tier famous player (someone I would think only an NBA fan would get). Considering she is from Michigan and Draymond went to State... still would have to be a basketball fan to know that and to know of him, which means missing offensive rebound is a head-scratcher To me i...

Even then, very few motor sports have men and women competing together. Indy had some a few years ago, as did Formula E. Not sure about WEC right now. I know F1 and MotoGP do not, but there is at least one I know of in Supersport 300, Ana Carrasco, who won the Championship in 2018. F1 has had women...

For my fellow Canadians, CTV is airing an hour-long program tonight (Wed. Dec. 18) at 10 PM Eastern. It is called "CTV News Special: A Conversation With Alex Trebek", and here is the description: CTV Chief News Anchor Lisa LaFlamme sits down with longtime Jeopardy host Alex Trebek to talk about his...

Did the word "anaphylactic" sound a bit mispronounced to anyone else? Like she was trying to say "anaphylaxis" at the same time, almost. It was clear she knew the answer, but it didn't sound quite right to my ear. I'm sure Andy will mutter under his breath at me for second-guessing the judges, but ...

cheezguyty: If you don't mind more fun how about today's DD clues being found in 26th+22nd+29th spots for 77 total and when was a higher sum for the DDs hiding so well. Thanks. 77 or higher is "a few times a season" common. The last time was 2019-07-09 (30+24+27=81). The record (dating back to Ken'...

the word "drama" threw me in the final jeopardy clue...never thought of the twilight zone as a drama That. And guitars didn't help either. Didn't have the slightest clue. Why wouldn't you consider it a drama? To me it's one of the most dramatic TV series of all time. Also, its Primetime Emmy nomina...

Is it just me, or are there WAY more female contestants this season compared to the historical average?

How ironic, the same question was posted to Reddit five minutes immediately after this one.

3) same as (2), but always for FJ. The contestants have it in front of them, why not the viewers?

Final Jeopardy is the only clue of the game where it does appear for the home viewer.

She certainly isn't flashy, but certainly is fast Which is why we left like 19 clues on the board Monday, right? And I swear at one point there was a good 10 second pause before she managed to call out another clue on this episode. she is annoyingly slow...hope to see her booted soon...let's get ba...

I never did learn them ALL, but knew 1970 pretty quick because of Patton's notable refusal to accept it.

I mean, it's tough to accept an Oscar when you've been dead for 25 years

Does anyone know what barbarians have to do with Monaco anyway?

I believe it was a reference to the Guelphs and the Ghibellines.

For those in the know is it okay to share when the change of taping pattern begins for 3 one day and 2 the next instead of the usual 5-a-day twice a week? Either way this game would be the end of the day for Jennifer and getting a break before returning again. I was pretty sure that this was debunk...

What in the name of Merv Griffin is going on with these contestants? Just because you happen to know enough to win a game from the fourth podium doesn't mean the contestants are terrible. These boards have felt tougher post-ToC and I think your comments are disrespectful. I respectfully disagree. I...
