Comment on tonight's game.....
Spoiler
Anyone else hoping the Beast would catch that last guy before he had a chance to play the final round? In honor of a certain teen game rerun today, it would have been fitting.

What would happen I wonder if no one made it to the final round. In the UK I think they play a game against one or more of the trio of contestants for a couple thousand dollars UK or something for beating the Beast.

It's called a lazarus game. Whoever is designated team captain would come back to play solo for $15,000 for the team to split.legendneverdies wrote:Spoiler

Well, trivia is a kind of smarts. With that said, her major preparation seems to have been what she did prior to 1983.Johnblue wrote:Harvard Law grads aren't quite as smart as I thought!

Re: Familiar Face on "The Chase"
Five episodes of the CHase have aired thus far. I think eight were ordered(it was renewed for season two before any episodes ever aired), and next Tuesday's show, the sixth episode to air, is being promoted as the season finale. Seems to me two episodes aren't being aired or maybe being held for next season.

Another J! champ played tonight on the 9/3 show: http://www.j-archive.com/showplayer.php?player_id=1974
I guess "The Experts" does not matter for game show appearances in the same year?

Never thought I'd see the beast get waxed like that. Did Raj miss any the whole game? Certainly not more than a couple.

Did they ever air the jay Rhee episode? Tonight's episode was pretty cool.

Re: Familiar Face on "The Chase"
My guess is that Rhee kicks the Beast's ass (Clarence Hill as first black SC justice, lulz) and to squirrel with the bookkeeping they pushed his episode into season two. By now, the showrunners have had time to adjust to the Beast's deficiencies by recruiting lower caliber players, so when Rhee rolls him, it will look all the more outstanding.Johnblue wrote:Did they ever air the jay Rhee episode?

Re: Familiar Face on "The Chase"
IIRC there was only 30 seconds on the clock with eight or nine questions for the Beast to catch Raj, and a win was not likely, so missing Thurgood Marshall didn't matter so much.Austin Powers wrote:My guess is that Rhee kicks the Beast's ass (Clarence Hill as first black SC justice, lulz) and to squirrel with the bookkeeping they pushed his episode into season two.

Re: Familiar Face on "The Chase"
Don't recall saying otherwise; my point is that a fairly average American trivia player would get that one.legendneverdies wrote:IIRC there was only 30 seconds on the clock with eight or nine questions for the Beast to catch Raj, and a win was not likely, so missing Thurgood Marshall didn't matter so much.Austin Powers wrote:My guess is that Rhee kicks the Beast's ass (Clarence Hill as first black SC justice, lulz) and to squirrel with the bookkeeping they pushed his episode into season two.

Re: Familiar Face on "The Chase"
Of course, the Beast is a British trivia player, may not be up on American history. It may also have been a brain freeze as he combined the names of the second black justice and the woman who accused him of sexual harassment.

Re: Familiar Face on "The Chase"
Not to diminish in any way Raj's commanding performance, but heck, I probably would have beaten The Beast on that one. That was one exciting episode. I don't know they let Raj slip through the cracks and get on there, however.
I've gone back and marked the thread as having spoilers. I don't see how we can go back and close Pandora's box on this one.

Re: Familiar Face on "The Chase" (Spoilers for The Chase)
I think the Beast is more beatable against one strong player by himself. Even with one strong and two average players, you'd run the risk of them getting competitive and trying to ring in and guess or them staring at each other waiting for someone to buzz in and at least pass the question.
