JAYMC on Jeopardy! TODAY! (SPOILERS Y'ALL)

Ooh, that blog post from Pamela took a dark turn. I wasn't really rooting against her, honest! :(

What's with the turquoise sports jacket in that pic?

haha no, I was all like SMASH THEM and cheering when Pamela went into the red, too! And I enjoyed that run where John was super-efficient and focused and controlling the board for a bit. Like I think I was on my feet for part of it. I think a complaint should be lodged, since Pamela's comeback was aided by getting some buzzer coaching during the break -- did JAYMC get a buzzer refresher? I call foul.

Allison's guess-face irked me, too, like: you are on your third day of Jeopardy. You don't need to telegraph to us that you're unsure of the answer just so you don't look stupid if you're wrong. And she was doing this with stuff she was clearly pretty sure of. I couldn't help comparing her fussiness to the precision of her haircut: I imagined her showing up at the salon with a ruler and double-checking the evenness of each individual hair.

"smash".. them, eh

I really wasn't getting much of the ewww-Alison stuff; maybe I'm inured from rooting for narcissistic Republican baseball players.

"television seems so much more REAL and VITAL when a person you know is on it!"
THIS IS SO TRUE

I couldn't help comparing her fussiness to the precision of her haircut: I imagined her showing up at the salon with a ruler and double-checking the evenness of each individual hair.
YES
finding out that she bragged about being related to brigham young seals the deal: she's an asshole

That means she's related to Steve Young too.

Which also seals the deal: she's an asshole.

Tempted to post the pic of her eating a greasy In-N-Out burger from her blog, but I'll be nice.

Brigham Young had like 1700 hundred kids though, right? Not really that impressive.

If you were really you'd post pictures of her tomatoes.

no offense to mormons, but aren't they all related to each other? hellloooo?

I don't know, Steve, some of those Chinese convert dudes who ride Muni probably aren't related to Steve Young.

OMG the post on her blog about the new TV is the most insufferable thing I've ever read/seen.

googleproof link pls

that's what i was gonna say

br@nd0nr0b3rg (dot) blogspot (dot) com is her and her husband's blog, about the fourth entry down

ha found it, can't believe she pwned jaymc

I had no idea that Chicago was "hog butcher to the world" until your Hometown Howdy, jay.

Who is Carl Sandburg?

Pictures of her tomatoes are the third entry down.

You know, I have a huge tomato garden in my backyard too but I don't blog about it! It's boring.

i can't believe she put that much effort into blogging about her tv

And I have many heirloom varieties this year. xp

You know, I have a huge tomato garden in my backyard too but I don't blog about it! It's boring.

I would agree...then I remember my various garden posts on my blog and go, 'Oops.'

You could at least post pics on the WHAT DO YOUR FRUITS AND VEGETABLES LOOK LIKE? thread.

garden is fine, i think -- you grew that, whatever

but "omg we bought a tv!" is not interesting

These people blog about their tomatoes a lot more than you do w/your garden, Ned. xxp

Okay, that would be scary!

Yeah, the garden one doesn't bother me, but the TV series of pics is ridic - especially when you end it with "This TV is so cool we're a little embarrassed to own it...". Not too embarrassed to post a bunch of pictures on your blog though!

The "we bought a tv!" was bad, but mostly because it seemed like such a smug way to bring up the Jeopardy appearance.

Here the TV displays an almost-life-sized image of our old TV.

mind blown

hate that you guys had to humanize her by linking to her blog. now i feel bad for having instant dislike of her via her appearance on tv quiz show

It's pretty clear that Alison is doing most of the writing on that blog, but it's named after her husband and the entries are posted under "Alison + Brandon" which is all kind of gross to me.

hah, ok, maybe i'm back in the hatin game

yeah that kind of thing weirds me out

xp

"hate that you guys had to humanize her by linking to her blog. now i feel bad for having instant dislike of her via her appearance on tv quiz show"

Blog doesn't make me like her any more. Maybe less actually!

OTOH Pamela's piece up above literally had me near tears.

I feel awful for being like "hurry up and decide which category already" last night.

Maybe "Allison + Brandon" is a contractual agreement like Lennon/McCartney.

I wonder if the new TV will be their Yoko.

i'm hard hearted enough to not feel all that bad about it

"blogging" with husband about her tv + braggin about being related to brigham young + smug + faux apologetic about guessing answers + beating my friend at jeopardy = major asshole

i feel a little bad for pamela though

I don't really get the dislike for alison itt. let's be honest here, if she hadn't taken down our main man jaymc, she would just be another small time jeopardy winner, who a few people would want to smash.

Blog doesn't make me like her any more. Maybe less actually!

fair enough. i didn't even bother to read it... but seeing pictures of her in her kitchen and stuff i was reminded that she is a real person and not just some smug person standing in the way of an ilx person and thousand$ of wads of fresh bills

not just some smug person standing in the way of an ilx person and thousand$ of wads of fresh bills

supposed to read "smug caricature"

but she DID take down my friend and main main jaymc

yeah exactly

i am allowed to not like her for her painfully symmetrical hair and perfect composure and fear of mustaches and lack of interesting anecdotes

Got a Tilda Swinton in Michael Clayton vibe from Alison, so I couldn't bring myself to hate her either.

she's got a quick thumb
that's nothing on the charm, intellect, and warm heart of our jaymc
