Idiotic Jeopardy wagers (no spoilers before 6 EST) - Page 519

If you’re referring to the current champ I have my doubts. You would have taught her wagering theory as she just seems to pick random round numbers out of thin air.

Definitely one of the funniest ones , particularly since Bessie is not really Trump's type .

Going into FJ:

Leader 17600
2nd 8800
3rd 5000

2nd wagers 8700 and misses falling to 100. Still finishes 2nd because 3rd wagered all 5000 and missed. Leader made one of the two correct wagers and bet 0.

I’m still laughing at the total lunacy of strategy.

Turns out the guy who went to see a psychic understood neither "Art & Science", nor wagering strategy. Huh.

Interesting that "God save the Queen" was accepted as the name of the British national anthem without any comment.

What's the gap in filming to air? Guessing it wasn't pre Sep 8, 2022?

It was announced 12/05. I doubt the shot 3+ month before that?

By the time they air the final, it's been 6 month since the Queen died.

Yep, when I saw this manufactured tournament + Mayim on Monday figured that I could do something else with that half-hour for a couple weeks.

Catching up on episodes and am a couple weeks behind, but Jake DeArruda has to be one of the most annoying contestants of all time.

I’m joining you.
I don’t understand why she randomly pauses before saying “that’s right…”
How hard is it? And she still does the random giggle/laugh thing when she says someone’s right. It’s not fun or cute

What’s the pentagon?
Hahaha yes hahaha that’s hahaha correct hahahahah

What’s a car?
… … that’s right…

She did a laugh at the sport curling yesterday which was annoying.

The clues have been much easier in this tournament at least

All Growed Up.

Basically a second chance tournament for people who did the teen tournament 2018 or 2019

I think "reunion" is the better description since they invited all 30 contestants from those 2 tournaments. Unfortunately, among the 3 who couldn't (or didn't want to) participate are first and second place of the 2018 tournament.

I enjoy that they replaced the "trivia knowledge" questions with more "general knowledge" questions geared towards a younger audience.

Nevermind, the 2018 winner is playing on Monday. She's at Yale now, I wonder if Jeopardy fame had anything to do with that.

An article I just read said they shot it over 3 days in late January.

One of the teens (or former teens I guess) said tonight in her about me that she had an "old soul" because she collects CDs and DVDs, so I might just have to walk into the snow we just got in New England and never come back out.
