Holy crap Ken said they finally go back to non-tournament play starting tomorrow

We'll get about 2 weeks of regular shows before the Masters tournament.

 

[scotchandcigar]

What a fucking idiot! The guy waits 9 months to get back on the show, and he blows the bet when he's in the lead.

I forgot how stupid regular jeopardy players are.

Did I see that right, the lady was in 3rd place, gets the final question wrong, and still wins.

Correct. The guy in the lead bet more than he had to, just so he could end up with zero when he got it wrong.

Aside from today's winner being a rarity - an attractive jeopardy contestant - she previously won $250,000 on another game show.

Jeopardy! newbie nabs nail-biting win as fans rage show 'spoiled' results

JEOPARDY! has just launched into non-tournament play, and fans are already buzzing about a potential new streaker in contestant Alison Betts. Alison defeated Brian Hardzinski and one-day champ Lee …

She was pretty good.
I'm glad that she won.

 

[scotchandcigar]

Now I'm very conflicted. As much as I enjoy looking at Alison Betts, and admiring her smartness, she revealed her fatal flaw today. She doesn't know JACK SQUAT about music.

There was a category about popular music (I easily ran the category), and not only did she get none correct, she made an ass of herself. For the band Madness, she guessed "Foghorn Leghorn". For the band B-52's, she guessed "Bee Gees". It's like finding out that your new girlfriend laughs like a hyena.

 

[HecticArt]

No conflict about it.
Be glad that she's someone else's problem.

So miss blonde smartypants finally lost. She got her 5 wins in, guaranteeing inclusion in the ToC. I liked her, but felt her little anecdotes during the interviews were already bottoming out.

If one thought game shows were fixed, one would expect an exit when that happened.

 

[Aaron]

Proud moment, I correctly deduced yesterday’s final one - Connecticut - and none of them did.

If that was the case, they would keep the cute one around longer.

Jeopardy Masters starts tonight, in case you're jonesing for another tournament.

 

[Aaron]

I’m watching it.

In today’s regular episode, not one of the three knew that “Kiss on My List” was by Hall & Oates. Geez.

Yes, and none of them knew the band Talk Talk. Not sure if they didn't know the song, or if they're too young to know who they are.

 

[Aaron]

Yes that one too. C’mon people.

 

[scotchandcigar]

Going from regular jeopardy to the jeopardy masters, I knew maybe 5 answers over the entire hour. It was getting comically difficult. I was expecting them to start listing serial numbers from the Volvo parts bin.

 

[HecticArt]

Nope.



But I watched it anyway....

I was yelling at the TV for both of those.

Come on people!!!!!!
