This is Jeopardy!

All of this leveraging to do tournament play and up the excitement level is killing normal Jeopardy.

To be honest, the last time they had normal Jeopardy, Miyam was hosting, and day after day, the contestants were just dumb. I remember long stretches where she would read the clue, and it would just time-out with no guesses, over and over. I joked with Mrs. Scotch that Miyam was going to lose it, and start berating the contestants. I'm sure that when we get back to normal Jeopardy, it'll be like that again.
 
Maybe they’re having a difficult time finding quality people, so it’s easier to bring back former contestants?
 
They finally started the semifinals. That goes for 3 days, then the finals are 2 days (I believe). And then this tournament is over.

The percent of times a contestant "makes it a true Daily Double" and loses it all is staggering. It's got to be 50/50. Just dumb.

Seemed like a decent enough fit considering she has a PhD.

There was a lot of backlash against her initially, because of some of her views (like being anti-vax). I think people eventually accepted her, but she was widely disliked.
 
Holy shit! They came up with yet another way to bring back old contestants. Tonight is the start of the "Second Chance" tournament. While the "Champions Wild-card" tournament brought back 1, 2, and 3 game winners, this tournament brings back near-winners (AKA losers). I'm not sure why they seem to be stuck on returning contestants, but I imagine this is going to go on for a while.
 
Tonight's contestant on the left made a faux pas. They were looking for the "L" in the "Hollywood" sign, but she thought they just wanted the name of the sign that had a letter removed. She would've won. She seemed pretty bummed.
 
I’m thinking didn’t you read the clue? Poor thing.

I was proud of myself, I conjured up the right guess.
 
I’m embarrassed when I do that at home watching the game. Having everyone at home watching me do that would SUCK!
 
Last night's Celebrity Jeopardy semi-final was surprisingly good. Both Steven Weber and Katie Nolan were really pulling-out some good answers, and it was a great competition between the two. The 3rd contestant, Dule' Hill, wasn't too bad either, but Steven and Katie each topped $30,000. In the 3rd round, Katie got all 3 Daily Doubles, which gave her the eventual win. Both of them were also witty and funny. Plus, she's from Framingham Mass, and there was something else I liked about her...
