Contestants who's "thing" is prime numbers are the worst.

Yesterday's Jeopardy was pretty good - well, besides some odd FJ bidding - but I don't like specific FJ categories like '60s science books' - I was able to guess the correct response before the 'answer' was revealed.

Was hoping for a tie last night. The score was 2x and we had the leader bet 0. Thought FJ was a slam dunk, didn't even think of a second blind woman.

To steal something I saw on Twitter, Jeopardy Doug is my favorite Dana Carvey character.
He also does a Whoooo! when he hit a DD, and those facial expressions... Seems like an odd dude

Do contestants not realize that 2nd place gets paid more than 3rd? LOL at the guy in second betting all but $1 in a runaway game where he had more than double 3rd place. Just cost himself $1000 for no reason (and also whiffed on one of the easiest FJs in recent memory). He also failed to ring in on the last clue when he needed to answer in order to prevent the runaway.

How the hell can you not remember to phrase your response in the form of a question more than halfway through your second game? Especially when there is a 5 second silence of Alex waiting for you to realize your mistake.

Vivek cost himself a big payday by not betting enough on his DD to ensure the lead going into FJ.

And what the hell kind of guess is "France" on that final?

Such a tilting episode.

France -not in the WARSAW pact and not really early in the alphabet.

Still it is in Europe and better than "Zimbabwe".

Vivek got lucky after he effed up the wager. FJ was pretty easy -name a commie/Eastern Europe country that starts with "A" for 200 Alex.

Denver

is down like 10K and 8k with 5K himself and controls the board.
1 DD left, only 1 category... Picks $400 question, and not $800+ where the DD is.

Come on, dude

Vivek is a friend of mine and I passed along the comments in this thread.

He wanted to offer his response.

"I absolutely ****ed that up under stress. $5,201+ is the right call to be up if she out-buzzers on $1,600 and $2,000. Scared of flora/fauna categories because I suck at them, and froze under the lights. Good catch."

We were robbed of adorable Courtney.

Wish you could tell your friend Vivek to go easy on that buzzer. What a beating it's taking

Haha yes. In pretty sure pressing it once and slamming it 20 times has the same result.

Pretty obvious that he got FJ correct and won the game.

Eeyore FJ the easiest of all time?
He even did the impression...

Rachel could be a pretty good multi-day winner I feel.

+1 -annoying podium leaner.

Glad to see Georjean win. Most likely a one and done, but (presumed) grandkids will be really excited.

Anyone else notice that they aren't consistent when it comes to answering in the form of a question? For wrong phrasing this season I've seen: one guy lose money; Alex remain silent and hope contestant figures it out; Alex remind the contestant, and; credit given to contestant anyway. I'm fine with most of the approaches but I wish they'd be more consistent so I don't get tilted.

For correcting in the form of a question. I believe Alex reminds them only in single jeopardy. In double jeopardy he just stares at them

I instantly deleted the ep after the first question was a super obvious instagram one.

Off memory, barely watching.
Category was like "American Landmarks"

Teen Jeopardy...
Girl is trailing by like 2x to both guys.
Bets it all, $5,700, on last DD and gets it and rallies up to $16,000.

16,000
13,400
11,800

Wagered $800 on FJ.
I mean there's 4 wild card spots, but still, is $16,000 enough to just punt FJ
