Idiotic Jeopardy wagers (no spoilers before 6 EST) - Page 329

Rachel was ALL business, zero f*cks given about smiling or looking like she wasn't in a prison camp.

Then guesses that a nation of 28 Million only lists 32 women.

Rachel seemed pretty good but then blew it. Figure she didn't really think that was right but wanted to put something. I think she's a better player than the champ.

Yeah, the champ lucked out. But I'm cheering for her.

"unemployed bartender" FTW

At least they were aggressive. But yeah-super easy FJ, super bad wager from 2nd.
3rd was in a tough spot.

3rd could at least give herself a chance with a bad wager by 2nd, as was seen.

On a triple stumper with 2nd shoving like that, 3rd could've won.

Yeah, I often argue that solo gets from 3rd are less common than triple stumpers where 2nd over bets. Definitely a case where the rational wager Vs counting on a mistake are tough to differentiate.

Suppose 7001 would be enough to pass 2nd and still place ahead of 1st on a triple stumper. So a little room to get two different ways to win. 5400 even better since 2nd would at least bet 1601 to cover 3rd.

No, she was thinking since Saudi Arabia was prejudiced towards women that only 32 of them had made citizen standard. Not that there were only 32 women in the entire country.

That guess of Saudi Arabia was something else

The clue was phrased how many women are listed not how many women actually live there . It 's possible that Saudi Arabia would only list women of the royal family as it generally treats women as a sub species .It was an incorrect guess , though not a terrible one . If The Vatican doesn't immediately spring to mind what other country could it be ?

Rachel was a tough player and unfortunate not to win , though I'm happy to see unemployed bartender move on even if her FJ wager was less than optimal.

Meh, explain away all you want but the only way someone misses FJ there is because they don't know that Vatican City is a sovereign State.

vatican city didnt come to mind for me but i knew it was correct as soon as i saw it.

acting like all contestants are wired the same for all trivia is pretty silly imo. the amount of time i know a "hard" question thats a triple stumper in each round is quite common but it doesnt make the contestants stupid.

Oof, unemployed bartender blew one of the easiest FJs, bailing out the ginger for her awful DD wager with all cost and no reward.

Sad to see Annie go. Loved her DD shove. LoLd at 2nd's late DD bet that either puts her still well behind or with less than half of 1st.

MacGyver was an easy get. I'm sure Annie knew it once she saw it. Also kinda surprised Annie didn't shove for FJ just cause that seems how she rolls.

Rather than trying to win 5 games or so to get to ToC just ball v hard for 2-3 games and hope to get lucky.

I completely understand the logic, it was still dumb

Just watched, had the same exact thought: ginger-all risk/no reward. Spooky.

Clearly $5 or all-in for ginger. Looked like brain-lock for the champ.

Saudi Arabia is one of the 'smartest' guesses, despite being spectacularly inaccurate.

Yeah she was cute.

I thought FJ last night was difficult. I'm surprised that all of them got it correct.

Alex was trying hard to avoid another runaway. First he pointed out that the scores prior to the final DD were a runaway, then he urged the contestant to take a guess.

I'd rather have the Lolz prospect of the wager being too small to get over 1/2 of first.

I haven't 100% been paying attention, but I feel as though we're entering like 10-15 shows without a horse question
