My Coryat tonight was 14600. Not a good night. Loved the Alabama History category, though.

Andrew is almost certainly a lock for the next ToC, no matter when it may be.

This is his second term. Now that I think about it, I didn't vote for him in 2010. I wrote in some novelty joke candidate's name since I wasn't overly impressed with him or whoever he was running against. But I think I did vote for him in the primary and runoff, not really sure. Just curious -- con...

Tell your PM to annex the US and I'll make it a prank call.

And that's why they're currently not allowed on jeopardy, it's not in the budget to edit out apologies after every wrong answer or apologies to the other contestants after every correct answer.

Now I know where Alex's "Ooh, sorry!" comes from.

While this is an interesting list, I think the amount of money and the consistency in regular game play are also factors in determining ToC odds as well as the amount of games won. If every game won by a ToCer was REALLY narrow win and/or loss, then the odds are lower of winning unless you can someh...

As Gilmore said; "Just do it!" Which Gilmore, Jim? Anyways, my question is, will Kids Week applicants still have to sign up for one if they're under 13, what with COPPA and all? Thankfully, my 13th birthday was in January of this year, so I'm on the safe side of things, but what about the less fort...

When you're going over your information and your stories in the green room, they'll go over the pronunciation of your name and where you're from. That's the point where I said, "Actually, can I be 'originally from Ann Arbor' rather 'from than Iowa City'?" They had no problem with it. "from than" is...

(I guess I'm the only one who gets Jeopardy! at 4pm, so I'll just keep talking to myself.) This also means that of the top five players ever, by regular-game win streak, none has won a tournament of champions. I would move to Minnesota just for that. I can see why you left the Bay Area, it's not th...

As a Coldplay fan, good song choice with the video.

Looks like you had a fun time. Can't wait to see the show!

I'm just saying.

Your rank makes it look like you're George W. Bush. Just gotta screw the English language a bit more.

periwinkle wrote:What do TPTB do if there's a tie for the last wildcard slot? Just noticing that Kerry's bet means if she had not gotten FJ!, she would have been tied with Dan for the last slot (if neither runner-up from today's game moved up past $14,000).

I'd guess tiebreaker

Four presidents ago I would call recent, especially for those of adult J! age. People of your age would consider "recent" differently. ;) Perhaps. Especially when you look at the fact that only about 200 out of something like 1400 (for a middle school! outrageous, right?) know who the current presi...

pdano wrote:Wow, that is an absurdly high cut-off for three games in. And with a bunch of FJ misses, too. Goes to the strength of the field.

Pardon my ignorance, but in the last 5-10 years, when has the field not been strong?

That $600 clue in VETERANS was way overvalued. Not only does it ask us to name the president in 1982, but it *pictures* him? A popular recent president? The $1000 clue was "Got your 6", obvious on retrospect of course given the charitable organization, but would "Got your 6 o'clock" work? I didn't ...

I'm actually mostly comfortable with J! as it's been in the past few years. I watch 80s or 90s episodes online, and I'm often struck with how cold and stern AT feels at times. I think Johnny's "This! Is! Sparta! Jeopardy!" generally has more emphasis now than it did in the old days. The boop-boop-b...

"How did my audition go? In the immortal words of Fat Amy: 'Crushed it.' #jeopardy #nowthewaitbegins" - Me on Twitter, Saturday afternoon (Hope there are some Pitch Perfect fans here. :P) Some of you have already seen me post about it a bit on Twitter and Facebook and the like, but I just wanted to...

Probably the best DJ! I've ever seen, right near some of the Decades games. Brennan pulled it out quite nicely.

Seriously? A National Geographic (-like?) picture is not kid-friendly? You scare me.

It's not kid-friendly if it contains nudity, does it?

Shows taped on the road, especially for tournaments. Having participated in the first game Jeopardy! ever taped "on the road" ( Battle of the Bay Area Brains , taped at UC Berkeley's Zellerbach Auditorium prior to the 1998 College Tournament), I kind of miss these too. Were those ever aired? Don't ...
