This is Jeopardy!

Cue the Fred Norris sound drop.

I hate when they have ‘before and after’ categories. To the point where I don’t even try.

Me either, but the contestants who do well are impressive.

Tonight's winner made a stupid bet. The last question in double jeopardy was a daily double. The woman in the middle picked it, and at the time, she had nearly twice as much as the next guy. If she bet $3,401, she'd be guaranteed to win if she got it right (she did). But she bet $3,000.

Then on final Jeopardy, she bet $401 and won by a dollar. Ken mentioned that she screwed up the bet.

 

[Aaron]

Yes, she should have put it out of reach before the Final.

 

[scotchandcigar]

Once again, a contestant blew it! The woman in the middle had more than twice the score of the other two, but she bet half of it on a daily double and got it wrong. So she had only a slim lead going into final, which she got wrong. Bye bye.

 

[Aaron]

That was such a weird way to handle a significant lead, bad move..

I’m with others hoping Lisa keeps winning, she’s funny!

I swear I don't mean to jinx these people.

I'm assuming she didn't win today.

Maybe the sudden fame went to her head.

It's was Aaron's admiration that through her for a loop.

This is wild. The contestant on the right in today's show is Jen Petro-Roy. She lives in Chelmsford MA. For about 30 years, I worked with a guy named Tom Petro-Roy, who lives in Chelmsford. I believe Jen is Tom's daughter-in-law. She's married to Brian, who is likely Tom's son.

Tom was a very smart guy, but quite the arrogant asshole. Anyway, Jen lost.

Ha! The current champ couldn't travel to make this week's show tapings, so we have 3 new contestants. Ken has assured us he'll be back in the future.

I was curious what happens when he returns, does he go up against another returning champion?

I do remember seeing a game where there were 2 champs competing, due to a similar circumstance. Might have happened during covid.

Apparently, the world can't get enough of these super champs. They're back!
