CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Loren Lee Chen is from Massachusetts. He's a basketball podcaster, but I wanna hear about what you and your sister do every year. It's something you've been doing for quite some time.
Loren: Yeah, there was one time I was visiting home from college. We were looking through some old photo albums together --my sister and I, Pamela --and we noticed two pictures. We were like, "oh, we're in the pretty same pose in these two pictures." Five years apart, we kept flipping. "Oh, there's another picture. We're in the same pose." So now if we're ever on vacation together, you know, we both put on our sunglasses. I throw one of these things [Loren puts his hand on his hip.] She throws one of those things. [Loren puts his hand on his head.] And we try to keep it going.
Alex: Good for you. Consistency --that's very important.
Alex: All right, Derek Anderson is an attorney from Virginia. You rode a unicorn? Come on.
Derek: Just the one time, yes. There was a contest where you build a --basically a float, a craft.
Alex: Ah.
Derek: And your friends throw you off a 10-meter platform and into the water, and you see how far you can fly, so ours was a unicorn, obviously.
[Laughter]
Derek: It's on YouTube.
Alex: Silly...but fun.

Re: Tuesday, January 24, 2017 Game Recap & Discussion [SPOILERS]
Johnny's introductions had me picturing a talk show type audience game of matching the person to the occupation. 3 people are on stage and the host has three cards: Engineer, Attorney, & Basketball Podcaster
The player from the audience has to then place a card by each person matching the occupation. I do not see that going 3/3 on the first try with today's contestants and jobs.
I had a chance to jot some of the trash I collected: "The Entertainer" (could have named that when I was age 10), Palermo, Madame de Pompadour, Eureka, Così fan tutte, harvester...
If Derek solves the quite gettable The Miracle Worker on his DD then a 15800 to 20200 scenario for the FJ! round perhaps changes the outcome on a TS FJ! round clue.
I'll change the solve percentage to 25% as I wrote the correct name before Alex finished reading the clue. Like the host said, "1927." Done. Ouch to anyone who did not know her name and had to try fly by the judges with, "Mrs. Lindbergh."
Sean: Congrats on the "Jeopardy! Champion" title as it never goes away.

Thanks. It's a fun experience I will never forget.
It's too bad that today's categories and questions were more challenging for me than yesterday's.

Being from Houston, I was really pulling for you today, Sean. Agree those were some tough categories, and Loren was really on fire. It'll be interesting to see how he does the rest of the week.SeanHarrington wrote:Thanks. It's a fun experience I will never forget.

That FJ was YEKIOYD, in my opinion. I'm not sure if I could've come up with her first name even if you spotted me "Lindbergh" as I've never heard of her being known for exploration other than being Charles's wife. Went with Earhart, and thought it was an instaget since her husband, George Putnam, was also a well-known explorer and she matched that time period.
Re: Tuesday, January 24, 2017 Game Recap & Discussion [SPOILERS]
Really, WNEM? How many goddamn Time-Life informercials do you need to run this time of year?!
He's ridden a unicorn, but has he ridden a beavercorn?
NHO "Girls" so Stupid Answers mocked me right out of the gate. It could just as easily have been called Cable, Series, Cable Girls, Cable Series, Hannah, Marnie, Shoshonah, or Include, just to name a few.
I ended up bombing the Stupid Answers because none of the words seemed to fit.
Pasta sauce with an Italian name was a coinflip on Ragu/Prego.
Palermo struck me as undervalued at $400.
I didn't know Lindbergh even had a wife.

Leakey came to mind for a millisecond (even though the dates made no sense), but then 1927 started blinking like a neon light. Easy money.

Re: Tuesday, January 24, 2017 Game Recap & Discussion [SPOILERS]
Perhaps the poll will have both Earhart and Leakey. Here are the previous appearances in the Archive for Anne Morrow.

Instaget off the dates. Anne was made famous by the kidnapping, so yeah, YEKIOYD but was quite famous, and tragic. Some things YJGTK!
48R for goats, LT: The Sting > Ragtime > Joplin "The Entertainer"; Palermo, Sicily (Messina = major port, also often asked); Ainu indigenous ppl of Hokkaido (fishing women); Louis XV > Mme de Pompadour (Recently featured on "Versailles" and also famous for the Pompadour hair which also comes up often!); Neurotransmitters (ACC: "Dopamine" albeit too specific IMHO); The Importance of Being Earnest; FJ. No get on A Doll's House, Ibsen's play in Helmer's living room, lol. After reading it again I hope it sticks more than a week!
Sigh... senility creeps. Put an old goat out to pasture of better yet, off to the glue factory!
I offered "Selection Bias" in lieu of "Confirmation Bias" which is similar, judges? Basically, picking your sample to produce the expected result.

It wasn't that I hadn't heard of her at all, just that I never had heard of anything she had done, other than marry Charles (and it seems that every clue since 1996 highlights only that aspect of her life).MarkBarrett wrote:Perhaps the poll will have both Earhart and Leakey.

34 right.
Capital (5), Warthog (2), Stupid Answers (3), Italian (3), Devils (4), Blue "C" (3)
Antarctica (2), Cameo (2), History (3), Mind (2), "ESTER" (2), Play (3)
Lach Trash: Palermo, A Doll's House; DD: The Miracle Worker
Not instant, but the 1927 brought me to Lindy, and I remembered that his wife Anne was an aviator as well.

Earhart here. Skipped over 1927 part and never considered Leakeys.
The champ seemed quite good (with a couple of odd misses). Wonder how many games?
Sean seemed to have a few more negs .. Due to score pressure?

Re: Tuesday, January 24, 2017 Game Recap & Discussion [SPOILERS]
Same here. I went the Leakey route and wasted the think music trying to remember her first name. I finally decided her first name was Mary, which turns out to be correct. And I also decided they would want me to write that down. So, mentally, I did so. I want to know if it would have mattered. If I knew for sure they didn't need a first name, I might have used my time more profitably and thought my way to the correct response.xxaaaxx wrote:Leakey came to mind for a millisecond (even though the dates made no sense), but then 1927 started blinking like a neon light.

I also said Leakey. I think of Anne Morrow Lindbergh as a memoirist, but I never read any of them, so I didn't know of her own explorations...I know 1927 should have pointed me right, but I think of what Lindbergh did as adventure, not necessarily exploration - did he find anything up there he wasn't expecting?...
I also thought of Margaret Mead who published her book Coming of Age in Samoa in 1928. Anthropology seems a kind of exploration.

I also briefly pondered on her, but since I couldn't concieve a reason she should get a major exploration award, tossed her aside until the music stopped, at which point I figured it probably had to be her.econgator wrote: I pondered Lindbergh for a moment, but had no recollection of the wife at all, so discounted them.

I was thinking there must have been an edit on the Entertainer clue that kept us from seeing why Derek and Loren didn't get the rebound. It should have been obvious after you missed. Plus it seemed Alex gave the correct response immediately after your guess.SeanHarrington wrote:It's too bad that today's categories and questions were more challenging for me than yesterday's.

Here's the clue:goatman wrote:I offered "Selection Bias" in lieu of "Confirmation Bias" which is similar, judges? Basically, picking your sample to produce the expected result.
THIS COGNITIVE "BIAS" IS THE TENDENCY
TO SEARCH ONLY FOR INFORMATION
THAT SUPPORTS ONE'S PRECONCEPTIONS
I considered both selection and confirmation and felt the clue really pointed to confirmation. But maybe I'm just seeing what I want to see.
I think the key word is "preconceptions." Selection bias need not confirm your preconceptions. It might very well run counter to them.
The problem is, I think the clue's wording is slightly defective. Selection bias isn't a conscious choice. But neither is confirmation bias. This isn't about deliberately gaming the system. With selection bias, you're just not taking into account that your sample consists of mostly white kids in their late teens and early twenties because that's who's available at Iowa State. So you publish a study that draws conclusions about people in general. That study might very well be contrary to your preconceptions. So I think the clue's wording rules it out.
But as I say, confirmation bias isn't really a conscious choice either. It's not that you're searching for information to support your preconception. It's just that you're more likely to notice that information. E.g. you think the Burger King down the street has really rude servers. When they give you standard service, you don't notice so much. But if they're rude, your brain says, "See? I was right!" and gives you an attaboy in the form of some yummy endorphins.
So I think the clue's wording was slightly defective. They should've replaced "search only for" with "be more likely to notice." Then they should've totally rewritten the clue because that's just clunky. In any event, I think confirmation bias was the only reasonably correct fit.

Re: Tuesday, January 24, 2017 Game Recap & Discussion [SPOILERS]
Unlucky. I had no guess on FJ. While I, of course, know who Charles Lindbergh is, I don't recall ever reading anything about his wife. So no help there for me.
I guess Earhart wouldn't have been that bad of a guess but, like with Charles, I never heard anything about her spouse, if she even had one.
Of the DDs, I only got The Black Panthers right.

It doesn't seem to fit. Charles was certainly an aviation pioneer/hero. So Anne gets the award for being his spouse?davey wrote: I think of Anne Morrow Lindbergh as a memoirist, but I never read any of them, so I didn't know of her own explorations...I know 1927 should have pointed me right, but I think of what Lindbergh did as adventure, not necessarily exploration - did he find anything up there he wasn't expecting?...
Maybe I'm forgetting that he flew over the north pole???
