This is Jeopardy!

So Jeopardy is on hiatus, and they're playing a seemingly random selection of old episodes. Last night, they aired a game with Amy Schneider as champ, and she picked-up her 10th win (again, I don't know why they picked this one). But the part that was entertaining was a challenger named Pam. She seemed very self-assured, and responded like she was shot out of a cannon after snorting coke. She actually had a chance going into final Jeopardy, but alas, she couldn't even come up with a response to the question. It was fun watching the game, knowing this smug, confident contestant would eventually come crashing down.
 
I guess I stopped watching when the new episodes stopped. Was wondering if they were skipping around..playing random episodes.

They are, but I don't know what their reasoning is. They've done games where Matt Amodio is champ, and Schneider, including Matt's loss. But the other games are in the middle of their runs. And they've aired other ones where I don't know the contestants, and I'm wondering if it's new. But it's not.
 
Oh, also I read that the 3 big hitters - Matt Amodio, Amy Schneider, and Matthea Roach - will get byes for the 1st round of the tournament.
 
First new show yesterday. And Ken Jennings was introduced as "the host", which even he remarked about. I didn't know that they haven't had an audience until now (since Covid).
 
You saved me from having to use Google to see when the new season started. Missed yesterday but watching today.

Luigi Guzman was the 1-day champ from last season, and he won again yesterday. I like how everyone overpronounces Guzman. I say GOOZ-man; they say gooz-MONN. Makes me think of this

 
Today's Jeopardy was a good game! But in the end, the contestant in the lead made a bad wager in Final. When you're ahead, and both get the right answer, you should win - or else you bet wrong.
 
So with De Guz-MONN repeating as champion, today's Jeopardy had a category "Hispanic Heritage". Needless to say, he ran the board. And he answered with such Mexican flare, I couldn't understand any of his answers.
 
I’ve been on the go a lot over the last couple of days and haven’t had a chance to catch up on the Jeopardy.
 
I just read that Guzman lost in a similar way to a contestant the other day. In the lead going into Final, both guess correctly, but he bets low while the other bets high. According to the Jeopardy site, it's a strategy to hedge when both guess wrong.
 
I get that the strategy works if you both miss, and maybe useful if the Final Category is completely out of your element. But that sucks to be leading, get it right, and still lose.
 
Last night's Jeopardy had these two guys

The one on the left is the champ. He was wearing a skin-tight sweater. He looks like the spoiled rich-kid bully in every teen movie. The guy on the right was just bizarre with the black clothes and the shaggy 70's hair. Emmett pulled it out, and remains champ.
 
He seems a little effeminate to be a frat bully, but frats are evolving.
I think the other guy used to be in the Flaming Lips.
 
The first Celebrity Jeopardy is over. It was an hour long, and they had a triple Jeopardy round. But the biggest surprise was final Jeopardy. The smallest landlocked country is Vatican City? I didn't think that was considered a country.
