Yeah--I'm sure Mayim's brilliant patter requires a huge writers room to come up with.
So Masters Semi-finals are done and now it is down to the finals.
Too early for West Coast to discuss the final 3 players but it would really be no surprise that James is one of the 3 players.
Poor guy on regular Jeopardy gets his 12 game run ended by misspelling Benedick as Benedict and was the only even remotely close to the correct response. Ouch.
yeah that one felt like a bad final clue- you couldn't score his response as correct, and it begged that result (asking for the common first two letters would have been better, and eliminated the obvious wrong answer of "Romeo & Juliet"- which is all I could guess too)Quote:

I even went to the etymology and was surprised the names didn’t share the same root. More reasons to hate Blossom as host
There’s a panel of judges, and the show is edited quite a bit. Rest assured that Mayim didn’t make that call by herself.
Irrelevant! I maintain that’s it’s still another reason to hate Blossom!Quote:

Me too. I didn't expect them to all miss Mallory. If I was on that stage I would have been absolutely crushed by all three, but at least I have the consolation of knowing both the Final Jeopardy answers (from the comfort of my couch, but still...)!Quote:

No, he does. T.H. White's book is "The Once and Future King." The problem is it was written in 1958, not the 15th century.Quote:

Also, watching Miyam host is still so painful.
How about the dipshit in tonight’s interviews that takes flights just to get sky miles. Get a fucking better hobby
Careful, there a whole internet world of people doing just that. LolQuote:

Also, in thirty years living here, tonight was the first time I ever heard the term Golden Gate Strait.
Edit - Can we please give a standing O for the producer that got the category
“‘S” less chaps” on the air. Outstanding!
At least do something if you travel to Singapore or whatever. Grab a meal or see a museum. How pathetic to turn around and go home without doing literally ANYTHING
Hahaha and now he’s a jeopardy champion 🤷🤦🤦🤦. Too bad, i kind of liked tenacious d guy. Not much of a champ but whatever
I learned that the bridge is named after the straight in another trivia game recently- that's a good trivia nugget (the bridge, after all, has never actually been golden colored- https://www.npr.org/2011/04/26/13515...cidental-color )Quote:

Most here know that the Golden Gate is not the bridge. The old Calif song says “open up that golden gate” and was written over 10 years before the bridge even existed. However, I have NEVER heard any one use the term “Golden Gate Strait” here. That’s what it is, but that term is not used. The only strait in common use here ada name is the Carquinez Strait. Which was one of the answers give, but it’s not on the 1/101
Still impressed by the S less Chaps category
Where the hell is Ken?
Fucking wilted flower is terrible, watched a few minutes here and there the last couple of weeks and she has a terrible robotic delivery that is boring and unwatchable. She really has no personality at all
Wrote her delivery down last night
Yes
Yes
No
Correct

Yes
Lets take a break
This robot would be better

I just happened to watch tonight even though Blossom is still present and the current champ has a really strong Lauren Lapkus vibe and hope she brings some wrong missy comedy to the show
sounds like he'll be back next week, through the end of the season (July), perhaps thanks to the writer's strike https://www.newsweek.com/ken-jenning...cklash-1808428Quote:

I think the same thing about Ken, except he's worse. The narrow beady eyes and an obnoxious lisp. Plus his arrogance and ego gets annoyingQuote:

Too bad the sexy librarian didn't last longer.
Vanna might be gone too. She's asking for a huge raise. Apparently she hasn't had a pay bump in many years.
I can’t imagine Vanna would stay longer than Pat. And what the fuck is wrong w her agent. He’s the one that should be getting sued for malpractice
She def had maximum quirky librarian sex vibesQuote:

Yeah, that was great. It took me a few seconds to get the joke. :)Quote:
