It kind of stunned me. I was thinking that I had never seen it before. He had the funniest expression as they cut away.
I think i was just coming into the room when that happened. I hadn’t been watching. They need to deep dive that shit not cut away lol
I saw that one, and I think he just calculated his math wrong, he lost by $1.00.Quote:

Just for an example 2nd place had $7,000, and could double it to $14,000 with a correct answer.
1st place had $18,000 and bet $4,001 instead of betting $3,999, thinking they were safe.
So when he got the answer wrong his $18,000 was decreased to $13,999, whereas I believe his intentions were to stay safe by $1, and just added the 1 dollar to his bet, instead of subtracting 1 dollar.
We watch at home most nights, and me and Mrs Dee have multiple discussions on betting strategies. Some peoples brains are not Math oriented.
Mrs Jong pegged the thing we find most annoying about Mayim She pauses for too long when confirming someone got the answer correct. She stands there with a "nope" expression and after an awkwardly long pause then says "that is correct!".
I don't watch when she hosts, but my mom was just saying this exact thing to me. Why the hell can't they just give Ken the permanent job? He's so clearly better at it.Quote:

They film 5 episodes a day, total days filming per season is 46 (9 weeks of work) and he gets $375,000 per day to film.
Yeah, it's good work if you can get it!
Local station screw up or problems with the Jeopardy feed tonight?? Started with Judge Judy on the station when Jeopardy was to be on, turned it over to another station. Checked back after a bit and Ken Jennings and 3 other players were on for a brief time. Then commercial and they came back to Jeopardy an BM hosting on again with the second day of the 2 day Final of the High School Reunion Tourney shows....
Well got to see at least the end, no spoilers as it was the last night of the 2 day Final round of the Reunion Tournament and west coast has hours left for the broadcast.
She has a weird patronizing delivery as well. I think she is funny and a good actress but holy shit I hate her on jeopardy. Ken is KingQuote:

I installed that exact same antenna. It works .0958% better than the old school rabbit ears I had hanging on my front porch before going bigtime.. God what a joke that turned out to be. It is "better" though.. Like another half bar..Quote:

She is also doing the Celebrity Jeopardy that has been on from time to time in Prime Time, not the regular syndicated time slot and all.Quote:

It has not been on in our area- preempted by the NCAA Basketball games by CBS. Not sure if they have like in the past moved the shows to middle of the night- like 2:00 am or something or not...Quote:

I asked my wife if she was going for a Michael Jackson look or a Sgt Peppers look. I'll give her credit for being unique.Quote:

Not to mention the easiest daily double in history.

I thought the Beckett question was easy. Certainly common in crossword puzzles and any jeopardy player should have had a shot at it
The triple crown thing was typical jeopardy misdirection. Weird lead in but pretty easy if you thought about it a little. Actually annoyingly too obvious. Something that Blossom would have made super patronizing for sure.
All-in-all, three good players and an entertaining game.
I'll be tuning in tonite to see if Laraine Newman can make it 3 wins.
Disastrous Daily Double bet tonight.
What is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?Quote:

yeah not a true Clavin because it didn't happen in Final, but she had a runaway late in the Double Jeopardy round and bet too much ($10,000) in her second daily Double (she should have bet $5)- we can call it a "False Clavin" https://www.tvinsider.com/1086459/je...-cliff-clavin/Quote:

I’m totally digging her vibe. May her streak continue
Edit: whelp oh well
But jeopardy producers should have made an exception and let her into final jeopardy just so we could see what she’d write
I'm taking a break for awhile.
Until the pain goes away.
Lisa was cute and her expressions and sometimes off the cuff answers were great. Fun player.
CBS news cut into jeopardy last night to cover the indictment of some ex-celebrity game show host so I missed it. I take it she lost? Too bad. Most entertaining contestant they’ve had in a long while.
Not nearly as entertaining as the ex-celebrity game show host.Quote:

Question for Jeopardy Magdom:
Is the difficulty of the Daily Double equal to the square where it is found? It seems like it to me, but I’m not sure.
Example: a 400 clue is always easier than a 1600 clue, do the clues stay the same and it just becomes a Daily Double or are all bets off and you could get a 200 clue or a 2000 clue?
