Don't suppose you can turn on the closed captioning?

The game is Beth 5500 Tom 5000 JOhn 8200 going into FJ!, a 2/3 game. ALex essentially gives away the correct response in WOrld War II $200 in DJ! and it helped Beth, who got the correct reponse after John negged. That swing helped make it the 2/3 game it was. IN the end, Beth didn't get FJ! right or wager $101 or less to allow her the win on a TS.

All I heard Alex say was "Sorry" after John said he thought France invaded Russia in WWII. How did he give it away? She also needed to be betting big to cover Tom's bet. Tom was below John's MSBIW, so he needed to go all in, as he did.
Sorry, Mark, no clue what she was saying there.

Wow. Not hearing Miller at all. I hear the "th" very clearly at the end, and her mouth is in the right shape for that sound.

The first time I heard it, I thought she said Noah. Listening again, I did hear both North and Miller. Given the date, Ollie seems like a good guess as to who she was going for.

I am curious how Alex chose to enunciate the T in Robot Coupe. I've never heard it said that way. Maybe they felt that pronouncing it the usual way would make the answer too obvious.

Re: New old games in the J! Archive
To me on one of the many re-listens it sounded like, "MILF". I went to Google and did a search for "robot milf" which of course was not going to be useful. However, looking at that in the search box had me think of Milton the Monster. I changed the "milf" to "milt" and I got a hit for Mork & Mindy for Mearth meet MILT.Bamaman wrote:The first time I heard it, I thought she said Noah.

So, perhaps she was thinking of the Jonathan Winters character on the show, Mearth, and she forgot the category?
I do hear "Mil" for the start and it seems like one syllable.

TOday is the 16th anniversary of MIchael's $500K win being taped AND on that same episode, J! contestant Mark Dixon made the hot seat and Erik Larsen and former J! associate producer Harry Eisenberg were in the Fastest Finger round, along with a cameo by a leg end who never dieslegendneverdies wrote:The alternate was Michael Schutterley, whom 11 years later broke a game show record that stood for 19 yearsMarkBarrett wrote:Steve was a 3x champ with 35,400. A correct response in game 4 would have given him 11,100 for $46,500. Last in for the 1988 TOC was Ron Trigueiro at 49,401 for 4 wins and the alternate at 4 wins and 49,200. Steve would have needed a fifth win to get in.Bamaman wrote:
If Steve had gotten FJ right in his last game, would he have had enough to make the TOC if he didn't win his fifth game? (I got that one right from a related FJ we had a couple years ago.

Okay, I went with North. I love Martha's interpretation of the clue to guess that while forgetting the category name.MinnesotaMyron wrote:This is the correct answer.

That makes 80% of Peggi's run, but I don't know that I have her fifth game. Unlike her opponents Peggi understood the strategy of "staying clam."

Re: New old games in the J! Archive
That's a very interesting one for me. I hear "Miller" when I want to hear Miller but I hear "North" when I want to hear "North". However, before I read any of these comments I was leaning more towards a "North", too.

Re: New old games in the J! Archive
Is there a list of games that the archivists have but that haven't been archived yet? In going through some old downloads, I found a "minisode" of Keith Williams' college championship final, game 2. It's 6 minutes long. It's got all the category names, all three DDs, the FJ, and a generous helping of other clues. But maybe the archivists have a complete version and it just hasn't been entered? If not, and somebody wants a copy of this incomplete version, let me know.

I don't think J! was closed-captioned back in 1989 -- and even if it was, the CC info doesn't stick well on old VHSes. (If the picture isn't close to perfect, it's likely the CC is garbled or nonexistent.)Robert K S wrote:Don't suppose you can turn on the closed captioning?

Re: New old games in the J! Archive
The problem being that if we put in the partial game, we'd have to put in a bunch of those little placeholder equal signs and approximate scores, which would then have to be changed once we got an actual tape of the game. Or we'd use Ronnie's archive to get the actual scores, and if we're doing that, well then, why not use every part of the buffalo and not just those 6 minutes?opusthepenguin wrote:Is there a list of games that the archivists have but that haven't been archived yet?

And seeing as I went back through my Twitter and found the offer of the actual tape of the game (both games in the finals, actually), this would be more trouble than it's worth. I also have 3 other games from that tourney on VHS that I'll get to once I get my schedule here worked out.
Thanks anyway. Suggestions and sources always appreciated.
