def rooting for jennings, as he is a recognizable human being, whereas holhauzer is a computer program that had to teach itself how to smile.

plus he's really good on Twitter
the sigh of relief after he got the last FJ right is as much emotion as I've ever seen on this show
― frogbs, Wednesday, 8 January 2020 14:35 (four years ago) link
yeah, he was pretty emotional the whole time. i'm glad he's kicking ass cause i was worried holhauzer would steamroll through, but the first night was fairly dramatic.
― culture of mayordom (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 8 January 2020 15:20 (four years ago) link
Brad constantly throwing himself on grenades probably helped. James can't steamroll if he doesn't hit the Daily Doubles
― frogbs, Wednesday, 8 January 2020 15:31 (four years ago) link
Brad had a rough night
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 8 January 2020 15:57 (four years ago) link
who won the second match? i only caught the first. jennings getting the stupid "before and after" daily double right was clearly the turning point though it was pretty dramatic that brad made it to exactly half ken's "points" for final jeopardy
― na (NA), Wednesday, 8 January 2020 16:07 (four years ago) link
those before/during/after clues hurt my head
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 8 January 2020 16:13 (four years ago) link
sorry i meant "james made it to exactly half ken's "points" for final jeopardy" not brad
― na (NA), Wednesday, 8 January 2020 16:15 (four years ago) link
James won the second game but not by enough to overtake the lead
both the before/during/after & triple rhyme time categories demonstrated just how much good these guys are, even the easy ones would've taken me more time to figure out than you get on the show. and they got them in like half a second
― frogbs, Wednesday, 8 January 2020 16:21 (four years ago) link
James can't steamroll if he doesn't hit the Daily Doubles
yeah, a huge part of james' strategy was hitting as many daily doubles as possible, which is easy to do when you control the board for nearly the entire game, which he tended to do for most of his run. you can't do that against these guys, obviously.
― fact checking cuz, Wednesday, 8 January 2020 16:56 (four years ago) link
brad also lucked into daily doubles very early on in both games
― culture of mayordom (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 8 January 2020 17:00 (four years ago) link
is this the first game Brad ever lost to an actual human

poor brad
― culture of mayordom (voodoo chili), Thursday, 9 January 2020 02:04 (four years ago) link
good news for him is he's only 1 behind, I want this series to go on as long as possible so I'll be pulling for him tonight
weird to see him look so out of his league here, he's arguably the best of the 3

ken and james are pretty entertaining together, hopefully they find a way to make something like this happen again

Final ep was so good. Wish they did first to 5 or something. And switch out brad with someone else
― omg what did you type to find this gif? (Spottie), Wednesday, 15 January 2020 04:10 (four years ago) link
I agree this was really great TV. Probably the most entertained I've ever been watching this show.
― frogbs, Wednesday, 15 January 2020 04:20 (four years ago) link
so cool that it came down to the reveal on the last answer. I wanted james to have it right so we could get another episode. the right guy won though. kinda lame that 2/3 place got 250k each, 3rd shoulda been like 100k or something. james earned more money and outplayed brad so badly + he brought roughly 60% of the good jokes and entertainment and should be paid accordingly. brad just looked embarrassed to be there by like halfway through the first episode.
― omg what did you type to find this gif? (Spottie), Wednesday, 15 January 2020 04:24 (four years ago) link
so did ken predict james would get the wrong answer? i'm too dum to understand why he didn't bet anything
― symsymsym, Wednesday, 15 January 2020 04:43 (four years ago) link
because James was obviously going to bet everything and if he did & hit then Ken couldn't catch up even if he did bet it all. so it made no difference what he wagered there. actually getting it right was pure style
― frogbs, Wednesday, 15 January 2020 04:49 (four years ago) link
thanks!
― symsymsym, Wednesday, 15 January 2020 04:52 (four years ago) link
btw that "Math Equations to Roman Numerals to Initials to Names" category was hilarious, they definitely dialed it up for these guys. I got the Mark McGwire one though
pretty cool that The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society was the answer to a $2000 question. maybe that album isn't as well known as I thought??
― frogbs, Wednesday, 15 January 2020 04:56 (four years ago) link
loved ken guessing charles lindbergh as a no-chance answer in that numerals category
― symsymsym, Wednesday, 15 January 2020 05:05 (four years ago) link
I was very surprised Village Green /Kinks was a $2000 question too. Maybe they were going by age and it being british? I have no clue.
― Yerac, Wednesday, 15 January 2020 06:52 (four years ago) link
maybe that album isn't as well known as I thought??
outside of music nerddom, it isn't known at all!

i laughed at how none of them knew what Kanye's new album was called. it was probably filmed around the time it dropped, too.
― culture of mayordom (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 15 January 2020 16:16 (four years ago) link
I bumped into Ken Jennings’ +1 for the tapings just minutes after last night’s ep aired, and he said the lead time was much shorter than usual for these specials. The Kanye had probably been out for a month or more?(also I’d guess they’re all busy studying existing general knowledge for months beforehand, not too deep into current pop releases)
