Re: Wednesday, March 1, 2023 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

We got to 1964, I said voting rights and my beloved said civil rights. So it goes. Anyone else find Mayim’s comment about the senator who originally wrote the bill dying before it was passed a little odd? Eight decades passed!

Re: Tuesday, February 7, 2023 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

Was anyone else a little thrown by Ken giving Matthew a hint on the final clue?

We were happy when Patti made a solid wager. It’s frustrating to watch people not play to win.

Re: Monday, January 16, 2023 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

My parents bought one and finished it during the first year of their marriage. I think the specificity of $27,000 scared me off from something that I knew to have a significant range of price points. As a lifelong old-house resider, I'm on the "Our Old House" Facebook group and see a lot ...

Re: Monday, January 16, 2023 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

Did anyone else on the board yet mention Sears catalog kit houses? Someone brought it up on Twitter and it reminded me that that was another guess that briefly went through my mind. I did. My parents bought one and finished it during the first year of their marriage. I think the specificity of $27,...

Re: Monday, January 16, 2023 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

I'm surprised that the clue proved so difficult, both for the players and at least in the early returns, for our boardies. The correct response occurred to me rather quickly just thinking about what was being sold for the first time around 1908. I considered going more generic, as Katie did, with j...

I never quite understood what they wanted in FJ and left it blank, although Clancy did cross my mind.
I’m not a big fan of SCT either, but I’m warming to it, suddenly!

@mods – please update my flair to something other than swimming in the jeopardy! pool, because your boy finally got out of the water!
That request landed well!

Re: Wednesday, January 11, 2023 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

Wasn't Cher the correct response to a similar clue within the last couple of years? Maybe it was about singles?? I got that one right... Mariah Carey was on Colbert recently promoting something ...(an old album re-released with 8 new bonus tracks, it turns out...) I haven't seen Madonna promoting a...

I said Mariah Carey for FJ. For some reason I didn't even think about Madonna. Ugh. I briefly toyed with Cher, because she's about to tour/ toured recently and I wondered if that was maybe in service to a recent hit, but then I realized they would have said 70's, etc... and managed to get to Madonn...

Re: Wednesday, January 11, 2023 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

Yogesh is the most awkward contestant in recent memory. His abrupt style is jarring, and his monkeying with the signaling device at the far right of his podium is visually distracting. I'll take him being on any day of the week. There have been far worse. I will admit I found his wrestling with the...

When did they start referring to Ken as the host of Jeopardy? My recollection is they announced him as "hosting Jeopardy." Does this mean Mayim is no longer hosting daily Jeopardy? He was given the title and the introduction changed at the beginning of this season, in Sept. we haven’t see...

Max's dad lost this game on J!: https://j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=1323
Unfortunately, the archivists do not have the preceding game with the "Hi Max" that Max chatted about with Ken.
I wonder if Max has a video of his dad's games.

There's more than one reasonably well known Louisiana politician named Long. And there's more than one reasonably well known actor named Sutherland. Make them give you a first name. I was really annoyed by the Sutherland one. And then of course I was doubly annoyed when I complained about it on a F...

TIL that Daniel is sometimes a surname. I can think of 3 different Daniels clans I've known, and several Daniel given names (or whatever you call first names). There's bound to be a Daniel Daniels out ther as well :lol: , but surely not a Daniels Daniel. I will claim credit for just "Daniels&q...
