Re: Celebrity Jeopardy! Wednesday, November 1, 2023 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

Why do I watch these? Why? *Strongly resists urge for my first post in ages to be an angry rant about how cranky so many here on the board seem to be about Celebrity Jeopardy!* But seriously, I find these episodes a ton of fun (and since they’re an hour, the celebs and Ken have a lot of room to bre...

Re: Second-chance tourney coming

my god, y'all absolutely hate fun. this is an idea that's floated amongst fans for years and i think it's a neat experiment. and even then, it's nowhere near as experimental as the All-Star Games was. also, there's no way the TOC is only going to be 15 players this year and that's been speculated o...

Re: Fun with ABC's "The Chase" [Spoilers]

Today's double feature only gave us one former J! player: Gonzalo Rufatt . The last time we had two episodes in one night it was two extremes, with all three getting eliminated before the final chase, then the next three winning big. Tonight it was a milder version of that, with one player making i...

Re: TD 438 - 2020 (Q1-Q8 revealed)

I was going to say Ohio for the Jennifer Garner question, but second-guessed myself (there are a LOT of universities here in OH and I was afraid I was just making it up that Denison was one of them), and stumbled into a sheep. My questionable decisions seem to have continued from that point ... :roll:

Re: TD 437 - 2019 in Review (Bonuses and final standings revealed)

This may be a bit belated, but thanks for a terrific game! (All these years playing these and I barely make the podium a few times, and now I’ve won two in the past month! Crazy ... :o) Congrats to the rest of the podium! :)

Re: TD 435 - Narrowing Nine (Final results)

Even with the last question being a mega sheep ... I WON?!?!? (I wasn’t surprised when I saw Des Moines sheep like crazy, but I was very surprised to see the final results as I kept scrolling down.) I’ve been playing these off and on for something approaching 10 years, and I’ve made the podium a han...

The Top 3!

And now, our podium finishers! They get a VIP tour of places like Severance Hall, the Ohio State University, and the Terminal Tower, led by Ohio celebrities Drew Carey and Macy Gray. (I'd pay money to see that duo give a tour. :)) https://static01.nyt.com/images/2018/01/23/arts/23orchestra1/23orches...

Places 4-9

These following players did a great job ... but came up just short of the podium. A lot like Cleveland sports! :P :cry: They get to enjoy an Indians game at Progressive Field and a Browns game at First Energy Stadium. https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/4mmZqQn-iFTOarFwqwHpUOTXyUw=/0x0:7070x4713/1200x80...

Re: TD 425: O-H-I-O (Questions 1-6 Revealed)

Wrong answers – 9 points ROME immaf This surprised me. I checked, and there *is* a Rome, Ohio. I suppose one could argue that Romano cheese is not *particularly* associated with Rome (Roma), but am I wrong? It's a village, the question asked for city. That's the only thing I can see precluding it. ...
