I almost spewed my coffee this morning reading through the hilarious comments on the J! Facebook page.

Much more polite than I would have been!

Basically an awards winner category. But cheers to the writers for an interesting board. Jeers to having 10 unrevealed clues.
I enjoy a clever set of categories as much as the next person but I think that group is an example of something that sounds good on paper but falls short in reality. The contestants seemed a little confused while calling out clues and I think that is why the game had a clunky feel and so many unseen clues.

Got FJ almost immediately and am slightly surprised at some of the non-cheese responses here.

I saw her post a bit in reddit, I think. I hadn't watched the show, so I didn't really pay attention. Kudos to her! She was entertaining, IMO, and had no reason to be ashamed. Her wrong responses weren't that bad: Semi-obvious neg that happens once in awhile (Rio), a DD on an Indian tribe whose TOM I don't know because I haven't studied their regions (Nez Pierce), a wrong response that I actually matched stupidly (Route 66 - thought that was the only famous big road), one that I got right but wound up being a TS ("Wright" for Hunter Thompson - which Wright was it?), a mispronunciation (Preeum for Priam), and a picky wordplay that I thought had a shot at a reversal but I see now was incorrect (transplanetary vs interplanetary).

She played well, and all those errors I could see myself making live. And she's brave to come on the Internet, with all the stuff that festers sometimes. I don't know if I'd have the heart to do so, even after a win.

It wasn’t a mispronunciation, it was more she didn’t remember what the word was, she said it as if she thought it was Piram, not Priam. certainly not the worst mistake!

Nez Perce. May not make a difference as it literally means 'pierced nose', but best not to change the vowel sound just to be safe.

I've fallen behind on the DVR and decided to just play the FJ from the board. I did not know that Camembert was the name of a town but I knew that the stinkiest cheese I've ever smelled came from Normandy area and was called Camembert. It was very much like limburger in smelling fetid and rotten. An appreciative customer from Normandy sent some genuine local stuff to our company and we opened it at our company picnic. I was the only one willing to taste it and a sample was enough :o .
Without this personal experience, no way I WAG this FJ, I'd probably have guessed Roquefort. I figure it to poll below 70%.

Ugly game for contestants, good game for me personally.

I have started tracking my correct responses, since I c have been improving, and since I'm only 17 I might be good enough to make it when I'm older.

Only 6 right in J! round, worth $4,600

10 right in DJ!, worth $12,400

Ran 14-Letter Words.

Knew they were going for a French cheese other than Brie, but i've NHO Camembert, and just wrote Gouda to have something.

Off topic, but I'm disappointed to discover that there was a clue about "the Rob-meister" in your game, but you didn't get it.

Not sure if anyone will see this since the episode has already aired a few days ago, but just wanted to respond with my own reflections!

It was an incredibly bad game. We had watched all 4 games earlier that day, and I felt like our game was significantly harder. The first round was just complete garbage. When Alex read them out, I'm pretty sure I heard an audience member gasp. During the first commercial break, Alex joked that the whole thing just wanted to make him take drugs and burn the game to the ground. Everybody was so confused.

I was doing pretty well, neck and neck with the reigning champ, until the DD that I did not recover from. Why did I wager so much money? I had watched the Monday-Thursday episodes, gotten like 90% of the answers, including all of the DD's except just one, plus history was one of my stronger categories. I had studied SO MUCH for this thing. It was a big bet, but I would still be in 2nd place. But the DD felt pretty hard for $1000. Or maybe it was because I was under pressure.

But after I heard the clue, my whole mind just began to panic and I cracked a stupid joke (IT WAS A JOKE). I went for the hardest questions because I wanted to catch up quickly, and because I had spent the first three games sitting right next to Michelle and felt like I knew more answers than she did when we were playing along in the audience. She was faster on the buzzer though. Matt was also consistently beating me during the buzzer practices earlier that day, so I felt like I had no option but to go for the clues at the bottom of the board and hope they didn't know it but I did.

I wouldn't have buzzed in for most of post-DD had I been of a saner mind, but I was enveloped by anxiety. I told myself I wasn't going to buzz in at all unless I was at least 80% sure that I was right, but I ended up making up the word "transplanetary" while I was saying it aloud (at least it was close!). The editors cut it all, but after Alex read the clue, there would be silence from us until I tried to do a hail Mary at the last second and then... miss. Since they edited out all the hesitation and my scared expressions, I looked a lot more calm as I was saying these wild guesses that I was only 0-10% confident in. I don't think I was even listening to Alex or reading the clues at that point. It was like an episode of Celebrity Jeopardy on SNL and complete amateur hour.

Glad somebody picked up on why I said "Who is Richard Wright?" on the Gonzofest/Hunter S. Thompson clue! I only caught the tail-end of Alex saying "native son" so I just buzzed in. It did not at all fit in with the rest of the clue, but again, it was a wild guess from a panicked mind. The sad thing is I host a trivia night, and actually HAD a Hunter S. Thompson question just like it a few weeks prior, so I knew the answer.

To be honest, I was relieved when they kicked me off for FJ to put me out of my misery. I was on track to break the record for the lowest Jeopardy score ever, and probably would have, had I not done decently pre-DD. I always thought Jeopardy was a game of buzzer speed, knowledge, and recall time. But really, ONLY AFTER IT FILMED, did I really see that Jeopardy is also a game of controlling nerves and focus, which I had a big fat F in.

All in all, this week was the first time I watched the show since filming, and honestly, I'm probably never going to watch Jeopardy again. The win for Michelle was so incredibly deserved: she had buzzer speed, knowledge, recall time, controlled nerves AND focus. I imploded in a fashion that's probably not been seen on Jeopardy before, and hopefully since. I feel like my antics completely derailed the episode, when it was Matt's and especially Michelle's time to shine, and I have no idea why I thought it would be great to scour the internet only to read hateful and sexual/fetishizing comments about my age, appearance, supposed lack of intelligence, and even sexual prowess (?). At the same time, I've gotten so many nice, supportive comments from people, and that has been great too! But just so overwhelming overall, especially considering the polarizing reaction I got. When you're experiencing a situation that few others have experienced and you've never experienced before, you don't really know how to deal with it. Thankfully, the Jeopardy alumni community and random strangers has been so kind to me.

I accept the fact that I was bad. I agree with everybody who has said/commented/tweeted as such! But it's not fair to project and call me a dumb bitch, retard, cheater, etc. after seeing me on screen for 20 minutes on what was potentially both the best and worst day of my life. The level of condescension and lack of empathy I received when I was feeling at my most vulnerable, humiliated, anxious, stressed has not been ideal. But it only really gets painful when I see the nastiest comments come from women who tweeted about the importance of feminism and mental health (don't tear down wOmEn!) literally a few days before, as their actions are actually ruining mine. NGL I cried a bit yesterday and today.

But luckily I'm just a contestant from a game show that has thousands of episodes and tens of thousands of contestants. I'll be forgotten soon, if not already forgotten. The episode has limited re-watch value to me but I'm happy to see that people found me at least entertaining. I ended up learning a lot about US history (but not enough apparently) and culture that I didn't know before since I grew up in Asia.

EDIT: Also Rob Worman is awesome! Yes, he is indeed a friend and he showed me this discussion board. Happy to contribute!

Not sure if joking, but it's paid for by federal money, so follows (almost) the same naming conventions, even if it doesn't make sense.

Exactly. I've seen some of the comments about you on various social media. Just consider the source. Half of those idiots can't even SPELL a decent insult. Don't let it get to you

Agreed. Thanks to Audrey for letting us in on her thoughts. Audrey, I was impressed by your poise in making that joke in that moment. It was a way of rising above. I'm sorry if it didn't feel that way to you, and that some people have no humor...

What a game! Yes, it was a bit of a train wreck, but you came off like a very smart, fun person who flubbed a few clues and just couldn’t recover. Sorry it didn’t go your way! That was a tough DD imo. Don’t feel too bad about it. You’re right to observe that it’s only a game show. I’m sure you imagined it would go differently, but how cool that you got to have this experience.

Thanks for posting here. Love the green jumpsuit
