I had to replay to confirm. They were looking for someone's nickname: the first contestant guessed "Chainsaw", the 2nd guessed "Saw", and the 3rd guessed "Chainsaw". Whaaaat???

I assume "Chainsaw" was not correct? I guess there is no rule against repeating an incorrect answer.

With the Second Chance tournament now on, it gives me an opportunity to root for past (losing) contestants that I liked. On Monday, this likeable yahoo from Oklahoma won; Will Yancey. He sounds like he should be in a cartoon with Foghorn Leghorn.

Last night, I was rooting for this guy; Josh Moss. He's starting a brewery in Boston, and he's got a Ph.D. in Chemistry from MIT.

He had a good run for a while, but blew it in the end. It's fun to see if you can remember the contestants from their previous game.

I'm not really liking that guy. He seems kinda hillbilly arrogant or something.

This filter may help me change my mind about him.

When I first saw the name, I thought it was Dew Groins.
I also thought it rhymed with "groins", but of course Ken Jennings - who pronounces everything correctly - said "GO-ins".

Speaking of which, Jennings shares his pronunciation of "genre" with the late Alex Trebek. Instead of saying "ZHON-ruh", he says something that sounds like "ZHORN". Listen for yourself

In the words of Ken Jennings, Drew Goins (who won again) really embraced his Hawaiian roots last night.

But many Jeopardy fans were not able to see it


Here are some of the comments:

“I literally spent all day avoiding news about the inauguration only for it to f*** my nightly routine and the one thing I was looking forward to”.
“I was so looking forward to this all day. I audibly shouted when I saw what I saw instead of these lovely contestants”.
“What a lousy Monday 7PM #jeopardy peeps. The brain exercise is preempted.”

Drew Goins is having quite a bit of luck to go along with his Jeopardy smarts. First, he gets picked for the 2nd chance tournament (after losing in his initial game appearance), where he wins his round, and qualifies to move-on. That puts him in the Champions Wildcard, where he gets into the finals, but finishes in 2nd. Only the winner moves on to the Tournament of Champions.

But wait: one of the ToC qualifiers - Lisa Ann Walter, the Celebrity Jeopardy winner - couldn't make the appearance because of a scheduling conflict. So guess who replaces her? Drew Goins. And he blows away the competition in the quarter-final game.
