Are contestants no longer required to phrase their Double Jeopardy responses in the form of a question? Kevin tonight answered an $800 clue and a $1200 clue without a "What is...?" framing, but wasn't penalized at all. Peculiar. It sounded clipped so that we could see all 61 clues. Judges have the ...

How do they spoilerproof this? I guess they're going to schedule 7 1-hour episodes of J!, and have "alternate programming" that's probably going to be repeats, like the World Series on FOX?

That's precisely how you spoilerproof this.

Also, I wonder if the syndicated show will be in reruns that week? It would be odd to have two tiers going at once.

Why wouldn't they? I mean, the show even airs a new episode on Christmas...

And I get that it's variable length, but what the point of starting it on a Tuesday? I can't see that it's filmed already and they know the outcome.

"The Bachelor" premieres on Monday, January 6 at 8:00.

Now that I realize that these aren't part of the regular series, but are more like Super Jeopardy! in that they are kind of their own little season, yeah, that really screws things up. I wonder how the show gets away with creating a spinoff that its syndication buyers don't get to have. If I were t...

Otherwise there is no excuse for the actor playing Mister Rogers going TS.

Buzzer system malfunctioned and the judges said "No harm, no foul".

1 more guess for Bernoulli. Thank for getting FJ and the results up quick.

Getting this right is a big plus for Francois. Shows he has deep knowledge.

I would venture that this is probably a dream Final Jeopardy in a ToC context for a high school physics teacher.

Some ironic timing for the COMMUNICATION $1200 clue, with Ken Rosenthal of The Atlantic breaking his story about the '17 Astros this afternoon...

Druv was 18 years off for Milton Friedman.

There was a film about him this year?

didn't Friedman win the 1976 "Nobel"?

I'm surprised they spotted "How the" for the FJ.

It's a lot easier to write three words than five in 30 seconds.

For buzzer speed I put Dhruv on equal footing (handing?) with Emma.

Past data does not match your hypothesis.

ToC minisite seems to show an image of one of our SF matchups. With Emma (W3), Dhruv (W4) and Kyle (WC2) in that image that would likely leave: James (W2) / Steven (WC1) / Rachel (WC4) Francois (W1) / Lindsey (WC3) / Gilbert (W5) Of course, nothing has been confirmed yet, but these seem like fairly...

What I expect is:
Gilbert vs. Steven vs. Lindsey
Francois vs. Emma vs. Dhruv
James vs. Kyle vs Rachel

I think it's much more likely that Emma and Lindsey's positions are switched, to be honest. I think TPTB want to have a James-Emma rematch and won't give Emma as difficult of a semifinal.

Daily Doubles Dhruv: 5800-3000 Rob: 5400 -5400 Rob: 0 -2000 Just call me "the anti-Roger-Craig" :roll: Can anyone confirm whether I'm the first to sequentially and spectacularly crater on DD2+DD3? (It's not the distinction I was hoping for) I only have regular play Daily Doubles tracked since Octob...

From the very beginning the Archive has been a spoiler zone that the user visits at own risk. That said, if there was some time of the day that we could with near total consensus agree is the time when a spoiler veil should be lifted on a new day's entry, I might consider taking the effort to progr...

Can we not use this message board to facilitate episode piracy? Weren't you a moderator on the Jeopardy reddit where someone posted multiple links to the day's show literally every day for like years? This is another instance I wish this board had a Like button. Especially in light of Myron's reply...

Impressive comeback in FJ by tonight's trio. Took me a few seconds to stumble upon the correct noun. 4/5 on the week, as Leadville was my Waterloo.(I don't think Waterloo would be my Leadville, though) Bonus points for those who can name the recording artist who employed a form of the word in a son...

This feels obvious, but I might as well codify it: Poll request for Cher.

The FJ! clue was a fail for me all around. Speed reading the clue I started writing "Don Q" before seeing enough to put on the brakes. Slowing down I processed "Syrian" to Arabic and wrote "The Rubiyat" to compound my errors missing on years, century, language, spelling, etc. :oops: Well, I feel a ...
