I don't think it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to have Alex tweak the order of reveals depending on the situation. For instance, quite often the leader's wager is immaterial. In those circumstances, I think it flows better to see leader's answer absolutely last.RCraig wrote:It'd be interesting (although severely messing with tradition) to see Jeopardy! do that if it fit the situation.

Ooh, sorry, that's a double negative, indicating that you clearly think that it would be the worst thing in the world, making the rest of your post very confusing.the_phil wrote:I don't think it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to have Alex tweak the order of reveals depending on the situation.

But we always see the leader's answer last (is "absolutely last" like "very unique"?).jeff6286 wrote:Ooh, sorry, that's a double negative, indicating that you clearly think that it would be the worst thing in the world, making the rest of your post very confusing.the_phil wrote:I don't think it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to have Alex tweak the order of reveals depending on the situation.

Maybe the_phil meant that, the way it's currently done, the leader's wager is shown absolutely last.Vanya wrote:But we always see the leader's answer last (is "absolutely last" like "very unique"?).jeff6286 wrote:Ooh, sorry, that's a double negative, indicating that you clearly think that it would be the worst thing in the world, making the rest of your post very confusing.the_phil wrote: I don't think it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to have Alex tweak the order of reveals depending on the situation.

This is exactly what I meant. My apologies for the confusing typo. Showing the meaningless wager last is pretty anticlimactic, in my opinion.seaborgium wrote:Maybe the_phil meant that, the way it's currently done, the leader's wager is shown absolutely last.
