i was sad to see margaret go, too, and what a heartbreaking way to lose. she and maureen, who beat her, both made the wrong bets in final. maureen's bad bet should've handed margaret the win, and then margaret handed it right back with an equally bad bet. i yelled at my tv.

margaret looked like she was done tbh. she seemed stressed!

I only caught the end, but Maureen did not have a good performance Friday. I don't know if I've ever seen a returning champ of repeated days actually neg out and not get to be in Final Jeopardy before.

she had a bad run of misses and I can tell it affected her psychologically, because she stopped buzzing in altogether for long stretches, trying to be surgical in an attempt to get back into the black.

all of the contestants got pretty cagey in the second round due to how close it was, so many questions where nobody buzzed in
i got the impression that maureen was a lush. something about the way she slurred her words and was slow to answer questions after buzzing in. also she said in an interview that she's been doing weekly bar trivia for two decades. at one point she cleared a category titled "booze" and ken made a crack about it. iconic contestant imo

I started to watch the college championship on youtube. First round had a Series category, and I was surprised that none of them knew what series "Vice City" or "Operation Raccoon City" was in. Maybe they just study all the time, no time for pop culture? Then Double Jeopardy round has a tiktok category and they sweep it. I realize I am old.

I've been getting spooky ads on Instagram for THE SECRET TRUTH ABOUT MAYIM BIALIK and I have no idea if it's anti-Semitic propaganda or just like her skincare regimen.

I managed 25 correct answers (9 first round, 15 second round, and the final). Really wanted someone to choose that final opera question so I could sweep the category, but alas.
As for the final... "Doctor Dracula"???

― Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 14 April 2022 17:10 (two years ago) link
Really, really hate that she extemporizes after, seemingly, every answer or category pick. It eats time from the round and it's dirty Jeopardy playing. Sure hope someone reels that in prior to tournament of champions. Neither Ken or Mayim have done a good job with reeling her in on this bad play habit (Shoot, Mayim is just as guilty of this as host).
― BlackIronPrison, Thursday, 14 April 2022 18:12 (two years ago) link
They need to do the tournament of champions as a live competition.
I think it could become a bigger deal if they did.

I don't get the sense at all that she's doing it intentionally, or to "play dirty." And is it really eating time from the rounds? How many clues were left on the board during her run?
I love that she does it. She's playing like she's watching at home, and it seems to sharpen her focus.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 15 April 2022 18:25 (two years ago) link
Yep - I respectfully disagree. Maybe she doesn't do it intentionally, but the fact remains that the show runs a tight play-time schedule. Mattea obviously has a wide breadth of knowledge and, more importantly, is fast on the buzzer. For every 'oh my golly gosh' reaction she shows before or after giving an answer/picking a category, that further throws off other player's timing on figuring out how to be faster at ringing in their buzzers, and it cuts into overall round time (thus my 'dirty' play inference). Matt Amodio was fast on the buzzer, but was extra sharp/clipped with his microphone time (using 'What' for everything was genius). Even talky/charismatic players like James or Austin kept their mic time short other than for answers or category picks.
― BlackIronPrison, Friday, 15 April 2022 18:55 (two years ago) link
I dunno, I don't see Mattea taking any more time -- much less, actually -- than the players who spend 20 minutes going, "Hmmm...let's see...maybe...maybe I will try...the...the category...of...Potent...no, wait...ah, yes, here we are! I will...attempt to...answer a...question in the...category of...base...ball."
And if she was really taking time away, there'd be a bunch of clues left after each round. During her run so far, I don't think there's been more than a total of two or three clues left.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 15 April 2022 19:24 (two years ago) link
i dont enjoy it as a viewer just bc i find it annoying after 8 games, but i also feel like i'd likely be the same if i ever made it on the show. i like her as player. its surely no coincidence that she's relaxed enough to be playing like shes watching at home & also doing so well.

Holy crap, you weren’t kidding. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Final like that before.

― flopson, Thursday, 21 April 2022 08:07 (two years ago) link
fyi, I just discovered that Mattea is a voracious tweeter, giving play-by-play to more notable moments in the game
e.g.
This FJ was really frustrating for me, because I felt like I was picking up what the writers were putting down. I knew that I was looking for something with the word “night,” and probably a collection of short stories or some sort of anthology in a non-English language— Mattea Roach (@mattearoach) April 19, 2022

Criminy, it's a game show not a thesis defense.
Won the last three on final Jeopardy, to be fair Amodio nor Amy had that much challenge in their runs let alone back to back to back. Of course those two pretty much went like the Terminator through the board many nights.
I was thinking it was so wild that she was this big a champ at 23, they could literally maybe bring her back in like 40 years (in 2065 if mankind is still alive) and have her on whatever mental transmission media Jeopardy is on.
― earlnash, Saturday, 30 April 2022 01:57 (two years ago) link
what’s the running commentary? like when she says “uh let’s get away from that category”? i feel like lots of ppl do that although she does do it more than average

I like her fine as a person, less so as a Jeopardy contestant but I admit I’m very much over contestants being allowed to just string 25/30/50-day streaks

if my "chatty lady" comment came off that way, i apologize. i legit didn't mean it that way.
i haven't even watched her play and don't know what she's actually doing. i was just up late one night, curious and had just read the dozen or so previous posts.

Yeah, I'm definitely more excited about watching when there's a streak going. And I've already said that I like Mattea's running commentary, but I'm saying it again because I'd much rather watch someone who's obviously having a lot of fun than some of the I AM JEOPARDY-BOT contestants.
