But in his defense, you do not know where he is with his cancer treatment cycles. Could have been the attempts to gain some color to a cancer ridden and very recent chemo or radiated body...Quote:

Not sure when this tournament was taped, but I've gotta think it has something to do with his cancer treatment.Quote:

But if Brad makes a comeback and wins a day, then it could be 5 days or even more interesting if both Ken and James are sitting there with 2 days wins each. If the full 7 days happens that means each won 2 days points totals, and it would be the last day as the final to determine... But Brad continues to struggle with one day ending up in one of the 2 games in the negative for the points.
had a dinner last night so just got to watch last night's matches
damn, brad just continues to struggle on basically every daily double so far
So I guess the next/ possibly last one is on Mon? or Tues if it becomes a real game, which I hope for, of course

thank you that means a lot ;)
I read that the next match will be Tuesday.
Yeah, I was pretty disappointed when fucking "American Housewife" came on tonight instead of the GOAT tourney.
This tournement is great. The questions are way Fucking harder than any other regular or tournement jeopardy game and these guys are mostly nailing them. James missed more questions in game 3 than in probably all his previous not GOAT games combined.
I actually feel a little bad for Brad. And I always hated Brad. Lol. I still want Ken to win, but I feel bad for Brad. He has inadvertently been keeping James in check by finding DDs early in the games. In game three, he basically gave the match to Ken by finding the last one and said your welcome. Lol
I think the make-is likely due to Alex’s treatments. I’m glad they got to do this while he was still able.
I am all in on Ken being the new Jeopardy host when Alex leaves. I think he’d be great and a nice legacy nod to players.
Am I a bad person because I spent Monday's show debating who would be better in bed veronica or katie the possibilities seemed endless

I have a feeling he'll wrap it up after this current season--assuming his health allows him to make it that long. I imagine taping ends sometime in the Spring.
How can none of tonight's three recognize Adam Schiff? Does not bode well for this country, no matter which side you're on.
The show was probably taped before the House inquiry really got going.Quote:

WTF jeopardy. He was not at the same level as his usual tournament play. It really ended up James vs Ken. I was kinda shocked James missed the final and 2-2 would have made for some gripped play in a game 5. Great tournament. I don’t know how future ones will measure up. It was grad school jeopardy vs college. I liked all the hat tips to Alex and the comraderie. And the savage burn from James was good too
And ya, I missed the game but how does any jeopardy player not know who adam schiff is?
Damn, I was thinking that exact thing. Dude has been on the news day and night for 6 months straight, it seems like. smhQuote:

I find it interesting that Ken says he thinks he's done competing on the show. A possible hint that he'll be taking over for Alex when Alex steps down? I think he'd do a great job as host.
Well, Alex did say at toward the end that this would be the last time these players competed. Or something to that effect.
I would be extremely disappointed if they brought in an outsider when Ken clearly has the chops and likability to be host.
The only mark against Ken is that he know lots of former contestants and others in the trivia community. This could be a conflict of interest that would be unacceptable to standards and practices.
the people who don't make it to final....[emoji30]
but for archer fans, I laughed about the "phrasing" reminders from alex
Alex seems even more hoarse tonight ❤️
1yr update from Alex. It was getting dusty at my house watching the video.

Today is Alex Trebek’s 80th birthday! he’s still contracted for 2 more yrs and from a recent interview I saw, he wants to continue on as long as possible but admits he has some memory/ brain fog from all the meds.
Did you guys see the first episode that they aired earlier this week? funny stuff how the questions were basically the same.
I watched the first and second episodes. The questions seemed really easy. Episode 2 with Cliff Claven was fucking hilarious. Apparently the only time all three contestants ended at $0.
Alex suggested Betty White be the next Host...
And last night they had one of the very old reruns and the NYC Cop won too much money and had to declare a charity for money over $60K - I guess it happened a few times before they changed the rule for maximum monies earned.
New Jeopardy history book coming from Claire McNear, writer at The Ringer who has been one of the top writers online on Jeopardy. First excerpt now online.
https://www.vulture.com/amp/2020/08/...k-excerpt.html
We were watching one of the old shows they're running now. One of the contestants was an Aussie who was working on software so that you could take pictures with your phone or play games on it. Anyone know how that turned out?
What is; mortgage the house and buy all the Apple stock you can AlexQuote:

My wife said the exact same thing. Specifically Kathy Griffin's annoying character on Seinfeld. And is it me or is she (Griffin) starting to look more and more like Carrot Top? :)Quote:

RIP Alex. At least you outlived Connery!

He was a class act. Took some chances and helped people in ways most will never know
