This is Jeopardy!

Was it about architecture?

Probably about road construction.

 

[HecticArt]

No.......

The answer was something about where is the the longest running female congresswoman Marcey Kaptur from? Or something.

 

[HecticArt]

Probably about road construction.

That was the next question. Where was the longest running road construction project located?

Last night was another Celebrity Jeopardy semifinal, and B.J. Novak from The Office was at the leftmost podium (the champion spot). But he got smoked by Brendan Hunt from Ted Lasso, something like $38k to $7k. This was B.J.'s final Jeopardy answer

I hope champion Jake loses soon. He’s annoying

 

[Aaron]

And I jinxed another one.

I"m glad that the lady won tonight.

She needs to bake some cookies before she comes on the show tomorrow.

Haha! Another case of smart people being really stupid. On today's Jeopardy, in the category of "Bob Dylan Lyrics", was this clue:

Hey "this guy" play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.

From reddit:
Triple Stumper of the day: The Bob Dylan song in which he demanded "Hey...play a song for me" wasn't addressed to "Piano Man" or "Joe", but to "Mr. Tambourine Man".

One person guessed Piano Man (Billy Joel), while another guessed Joe (Jimi Hendrix). Were the contestants just too young?

 

[Aaron]

Yeah facepalm on that one for sure..

Maybe the problem was the lyrics were written out and therefore clearly understood.

Host Ken Jennings is always up for doing an impression, but not this time. Now I'm thinking that perhaps it's due to the song being popularized by The Byrds. Maybe these neophytes just don't associate the song with Dylan.

At least nobody said "DJ"

Hey DJ, just play that song
Keep me dancing (Dancing) all night long

I’m enjoying the High School Reunion Jeopardy tournament that started this week. Either the game has been slightly easier than usual, or the categories have been favorable, but I find I’m doing better than normal ‘playing along’.

I agree it's a nice twist on the usual tournament. I actually enjoy seeing the old high school pic morph into the current one. And the kids are all super smart and confident.

The center contestant yesterday got majorly ripped-off. She pronounced 2 names in a row which weren't up to Mayim's standards. Bullshit.

Jeopardy! fans furious over contestant's 'unfair' back-to-back rulings

JEOPARDY! viewers were left feeling furious on a contestant’s behalf after she was deemed incorrect in two instances. College junior Stephanie Pierson was ruled as having mispronounced the na…

Saying a completely different first name will always get counted wrong. She’d have been better off just saying last name only.
She was robbed on the first one I think.

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

I doubt the host made the decision. Probably the judges. And I suspect they have a 0 tolerance policy.

 

[HecticArt]

Unfortunately, she said them both wrong. I’ve seen them flag a lot of other contestants on that technicality.

She has a lisp. You're an anti-impedimentite!

Sthop it!
