Rowan is going to be awfully hard to beat tomorrow. Pretty confident they're going to the ToC.

Agreed. How does that brain work so quickly?!? Impressive performance.
I made the mistake of looking at the comments on the Jeopardy Facebook page and the comments regarding Rowan are as lame as you'd imagine they'd be. Jesus people are narrow-minded and petty.
Place is toxic.
Celebrity Jeopardy.
What is Hassan on?
I don't know but he was highly annoying- you could tell the editors starting cutting his pregnant pause stares at the camera after his correct answers. I shouldn't bother watching this but I can't help myself- I think SNL needs to do an updated spoofQuote:

Beginning of the Tournment of Champions... Should be interesting games.
Bummed at how Ryan did in the opening round. I really liked watching him play earlier this year (I'm new to watching Jeopardy) and I had high hopes for him.Quote:

For three ToC level players to struggle like that is a pretty good indications the questions were too hard or just plain bad. Strange because then the Final Jeopardy clue was easy.Quote:

I got whiplash on that loss by Jonathan/John C Reilly. Wagering strategy for the win, Alex
He made the cover bet, so I'm not going to fault him for that. Andrew wagering $10k on that second daily double was a bit bold. Andrew looked like he was going to throw up when Ken told him he won.Quote:

I blew that one, too. Should have paid more attention to the "EID MARS" inscription. Duh.Quote:

Same, those were the two I was hoping for the most. Super bummed.Quote:

Here is the clip from last night's Tonight Show if you missed it: Hasan on Celebrity Jeopardy discussion

that's worth a watch- "I seem to have the ability to piss off dedicated nerds." Well-played Hasan . . .Quote:

It was an exhibition match up, so much more informal leading up to the TOC semi finals...
Im confused by the whole set up. Ken said last night this is an exhibition game for those three. Did they get an automatic pass to the semifinals? I awas surprised by how many TOC player so far I did NOT remember at all and couldn’t figure out how I had missed their TOC games
Jeopardy is on 7P PST here. I'm afraid to turn on the TV to see if the exhibition match will make it on the air here--I don't want to inadvertently be exposed to the election.
It was fun. I wanted all of them to win. Great folks all of them..
Hadn’t thought of that. I bet it gets preempted hereQuote:

Skunked here w preemption. Argh
Same here, I didn’t even know the dude but cool to see Matteo v. amy
Matt Amodio- had a 38 day Championship streak. (and $1.5 mil in winnings)Quote:

You can find the entire exhibition match on the Jeopardy YouTube channelQuote:

Of all the qualifiers, I think Sam Buttrey (sp?) is likely to do well but can he beat one of the big 3?
They were obviously playing a bit more carefree, having some fun and ringing in with guessing on things they may have not risked money on in a true Tournament of Champions or even a regular show. Sort of like the celebrity shows feel too it.Quote:

It wasn't preempted here. I'm sure the reason for the exhibition was that they didn't want to put a real TOC match against a Tournament of Losers match (ie--the election.)
