Will that guy on Jeopardy ever lose?

There was a very touching NPR story about this on Monday. The interviews with her husband really got to me.

trebek said nice things after final jeopardy and seemed a little misty eyed

god bless her

ok fine, but just so you guys know, I'm not crying, I just have something caught in both my eyes

Her death was one more horribly shitty thing that happened in a horribly shitty year, but she was nevertheless, for me, the hero of a year in which I did not expect to find any.

Strange episode today. Middle guy got screwed out of a runaway win because one of his correct responses was considered wrong, then they adjusted his score before FJ, but they didn't subtract from another contestant who also got that one correct.

also a hidden star trek reference in the category names.

How the Jeopardy! Writers Room Comes Up With All of Those Questions

this austin fella just had the third highest scoring game in jeopardy history, i've been enjoying his run, also he is definitely not james murphy

Alex once ate got accidentally high on pot brownies and, even more shockingly, likes The Bucket List the best out of all of his cameo appearances.

ate

tournament of champions is my jam.

great win for buzzy cohen last night, and two of my faves lilly chin and tim aten are up tonight. who ya got?

Semifinal 1: Andrew Pau v. Austin Rogers v. Lilly Chin.

Andrew's gotta be the favorite after his impressive win on Friday. It looks like he's the #1 seed considering he doesn't have another quarterfinal winner in his group -- but this is still a very tough group! Andrew and Austin overlap in their humanities expertise so Lilly should be able to dominate the science categories. Austin clearly wasn't prepared for how fast Alan was on the buzzer in the quarters, leading to some unforced errors, but no Alan there this go-around, so Austin may be able to use his buzzer speed to his advantage.

new champion donna brown met her husband when they were both college radio djs at the univ of georgia. she did the '80s show, he did the noise show. they argued a lot. "noise," she explained to alex, "is a kind of music that's experimental, so there are themes and motifs and everything, um, less structure." but everything's good now: "our marriage has structure." she's very bubbly. i like her a lot.

also, she had the only correct answer on final jeop: "this label, home to u2 and bob marley, was created, fittingly, in jamaica with an investment of 1,000 pounds sterling."

...is this where I should say that Donna is an ILX vet? Because she is. That makes two of us that have been on the show!

that’s awesome!!! she had a very very big first win!

(is she on this thread?)

donna!

I thought at least three ILXors have been on the show, no? I remember it mentioned in this thread somewhere, once upon a time. Congrats to Donna

^ yes

b) omg that grampa living room

He should have Longmont Potion Castle on the show for the next Celebrity Jeopardy. They can black out his face or something.

you're allowed to wear leather jackets on jeopardy now???

― Ned Raggett,

This was so bad. He was nearly booed him off the stage:

i feel bad for trebek. he grew up francophone in the duplessis era, which was some seriously bad shit nobody in america even knows about. (yeah, he's from ontario, but still.)

i thought this group was sort of ironic but i think dude just really hates alex trebek

the current running champion was the bassist for the runaways!?

yes, Jackie Fuchs (Fox). I haven't watched any yet, but have been seeing it mentioned on fb. She's the one who accused Kim Fowley of raping her while other band members did nothing.

alex has a crush on her. he asked her if she was married in one of the contestant-interview segments.

The category modeled after “88 Lines About 44 Women” from a couple nights ago was pretty cool. Can’t find a video link anywhere, but the clues themselves are listed here: https://archive.fikklefame.com/jeopardy-clues-1-10-19/

Discussed more here Alex Trebek suffers 'minor heart attack'

very sad, had an uncle pass from it and it was brutal and nasty

i suspect we're going to have to get used to james for a while

https://deadspin.com/jeopardy-contestant-crushes-single-game-winnings-recor-1833928180

wound up with $110,914, which is his daughter's birthday (11/09/14), that's really cool

That was crazy, prior to final alex told him "you're $4400 short of the one day record" and he was up by like 65k so I was honestly surprised he didn't bet more - the birthday thing explains it.
