United Airlines has a destination guide with an interactive map https://www.united.com/ual/en/us/fly/travel/restrictions-map.html This shows no restrictions for most states, including California. So what type of rule does California have that is restricting out-of-staters from competing on Jeopardy...

I was a little surprised that they didn't BMS for "Tampa Bay" as a team. There was a team name ("Patriots"), not a city, state, or region name, referenced in the clue. There are three professional "Tampa Bay" teams in the Big Four ("Bucks"/Buccaneers, "Bolts"/Lightning, and Rays), and the name of t...

Well, at least I'm not the only one to think FJ! was a slam-dunk. It took me a little more than 2 seconds to think "Dang it, who wrote Little Women ? I hope that's in my database of Pavlovs...", but it was. Other than the names of the four sisters (Amy, Jo, Beth, and....oops, I had to look up Meg), ...

Given all of the extra space afforded by HDTV, I wish they'd keep the scores on the screen in a corner. In a similar vein, why doesn't Wheel have an on-screen letter board? Because on Wheel, if all three players lose their turn, they usually get edited out if it doesn't affect the scores, so if the...

Is this one of those "I let Watson's AI watch Jeopardy! credit rolls, and asked it to create a new one. Here's what it came up with:" things?

Looking up the United Nations list of 193 countries on Wikipedia, "Thailand" is the only one that begins with "Th", and the only one on the list that begins with a "T" and has an "h" anywhere in the name. On the one hand, I think there's a good case to be generous here - I think that's the theory wh...

Ugh - listen to the category... :roll: :roll: :roll: I had a woman who was in medicine at the turn of the century...I had Clara Barton and Florence Nightingale. I then shoehorned Nightingale in, because she was on the correct side of the Atlantic, and figured that nursing could entail a great deal o...

How was coffee "obvious" on Potpourri for $800? Guess who produces more than 1/3 of the entire world's coffee beans. I didn't have an answer, but if the clue were twisted around to "This South American 1932 Olympic team sold coffee...", I probably would have probably gone for Colombia. But then aga...

I had the Kubla Khan / Xanadu part of FJ right from the obvious "dome" TOM, but for some reason had difficulty with getting the right author. I got there, but it was a Wordsworth/Coleridge coin flip for me that came up the correct side up for once. I got Marx and thought it was pretty obvious, but l...

Courtesy of Rex Kramer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVXiKgFZHYY&feature=youtu.be&t=54 To my ears, by the way, the Real Berry says it more like Berry and the Fake Berrys say it more like Barry. But one thing that has become clear since this all started is that most of us, mergers and non-mergers...

Anyone else happen to notice at the start of the game that when they called the clue for 800 in A SHRUBBERY that they showed the graphic for 600? Confused me as I was tracking my Coryat. Composer named Gustav ____ for a $2000 clue? I risked going for the obvious one, and was rewarded. Almost ran SCI...

Uh, no. Sorry. Berry and Barry are just two distinct names and two distinct pronunciations. Not that it mattered in determining the winner of this game, but the neg seemed quite correct to me. Now why couldn't she just follow the advice of countless former players and boardies and use last name onl...

The GOAT was a little different as they all had plenty of Jeopardy experience and they all knew each other. But it fit in with her flighty personality. I thought his DD bet was risky as a miss puts the other two back in the game. I am betting small and taking my time coming up with a response. Risk...

*400: Easy once the video came up. Wasn't quite sure with just the clue, and NHO "The Fighter", and country + Idol could probably go to a couple of people - Kelly Clarkson was the other that came to mind, but I knew it was Carrie. 800: Didn't buzz in. If it had been a DD, I probably would have gone ...

I hope that players like Kelly are not the direction the producers want to retake the show. As TalkingAwauy posted, a little goes a long way.. :o Honestly, I'm willing to give the producers a lot of leeway. The contestant pool shrunk from about 365.8 million to about 19 million. (Okay, not everyone...

Man, there were a lot of negs in DJ! that I got tripped up on, along with the contestants. I don't know why, but "code breaker" instead of "code talker" came to my mind too, even though I had 100% heard of code talkers. I'd accept "windtalker", as that was another name by which they were known. In f...

That's funny about the official J! response, because I was just thinking through the logic in the same way. I actually still agree with the judges. My last name is Conley - two syllables. Some other common variants include Connolly and Connelly, with three syllables. I've always noticed that people ...

Add me to the long list who was shocked by the FJ ruling. I correctly spelled Berry Gordy, but I may now consider only using last names from now on :shock: Question from a young whippersnapper here born after 1982: What headline was the clue referring to in DD1? Dead line, not headline. From a quic...

I actually support the judges' ruling - mainly on the basis that Barry and Berry are two completely different names. It would be like if you were asked for Harper Lee's 1960 novel, and you wrote "Two Kill a Mockingbird". Even if they sound alike in some dialects (not mine), they're two different wor...

I really appreciate a couple of posters above telling us about what their Zoom call was like. I'm not sure I'm understanding it correctly though. Would somebody mind explaining how there are 10-12 people per Zoom call, but you speak your answers out loud to an interviewer? Wouldn't you all be speak...
