idk i think alex hated her, he was sort of egging her on for entertainment value but there was definitely some side eye to it. i lol'd when she was going on at great length about her amazing work for charity yesterday and alex just cut her off.

her dancing during the opening credits was so incredibly cringey

he made such a point of bringing up the fact that dude was a stay at home dad, like over and over

she is completely out of her mind and should absolutely be on ilx
ugh be glad whoever did that clip chose not to include the strained dancing

the camera is on a regular contestant in the intro for about 5 seconds but it lingers on the champion for about 20 while they complete the full spiel. watching her start dancing and then realizing that she had to keep going almost made up for watching her dancing.

didn't stopwatch those numbers, could be miles off. you get the gist

Yes!!! I think there was one instance where the guy got some kids lit question and Alex was like, "The stay at home dad *should* get that one right and it was just awful.

horny Trebek
:(
i haven't seen the dancing but from that video she's just really excited and, as alex said, energetic? i dunno. if there's something wrong with that, there's something wrong with me and i kinda refuse to believe that. she may be a corny dancer but otherwise i see nothing about her that would suggest she's a horrible person, extreme rush fandom aside (lol)

trebek harping on the stay at home dad sounds so rude too, geezi haven't watched jeopardy in ages

― Nhex, Tuesday, 21 July 2015 17:02 (eight years ago) link
x-post - I don't think anyone is suggesting she's a horrible person but she was intensely irritating, awkward, and difficult to watch. That clip doesn't really showcase it very well. You could just tell she'd be insufferable irl.

holy shit this episode where trebek's voice is all re-recorded and overdubbed is weird as hell

watching the episode now and hoping the smug monster who won all last week is finally defeated

o i think you'll be very pleased with how final jep plays out

altho i was pleased to see that dude lose i thought it was a little harsh, i would've given it to him

Yeah, I've heard Alex say "we don't penalize for spelling" re: Final Jeopardy many times, and the guy clearly knew the answer. WTF?
― The New Gay Sadness (cryptosicko), Tuesday, 28 July 2015 13:51 (eight years ago) link
iirc you can misspell but in this case he misspelled to the point of dropping a syllable and was disqualified for that reason

but u guys trebek's overdubbed voice

so i got the call to audition. how likely am i to actually be on?

er, okay nevermind
After the producers select their elite 3,000 they spend weeks reviewing dozens of people at a time, herding them into hotel conference rooms around the country and making them run a battery of tests: a written quiz of 50 Jeopardy! questions, a live round of Actual Jeopardy! with Actual Buzzers, and an interview Q&A. From this, they winnow the would-be contestants to the 400 people who actually appear on the show during the season—a .4% acceptance rate overall.

Actual Jeopardy!
always the most nailbiting round

― Our Meals Are Hot And Fresh! (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 12:04 (seven years ago) link
I'm almost certain that I would play Real Jeopardy! the way I play videogames. Click the buzzer a fraction of a second too late and mutter 'oh, fuck off' a little too loudly and that would be that.
― Our Meals Are Hot And Fresh! (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 12:07 (seven years ago) link
Don't get discouraged by that percentage! Take the audition experience as a fun lark and story to tell on its own terms... You'll feel better about it if you don't make it, but also that kind of relaxed and having-fun attitude will come through in how you conduct yourself in Actual Jeopardy!, which may help you stand out as a contestant. I'm pretty sure this is what got me in to be honest.
