Overall I'd say these games are showing tougher material than we're used to lately...

It’s been a pleasure watching these old games. The material has been watered down ever since Harry Friedman took over from George Vosburgh as executive producer. I liked it better the old way.

. In case anyone had forgotten what a great, great player Frank Spangenberg was... Frank was probably my first J! hero and probably still my all-time favorite player. Mine, too! It was a thrill and an honor to meet him and shake his hand at the UTOC. After the quarterfinals taping day, the whole ga...

Anna Oblonsky is the maiden name of this title character Um, her maiden name was Anna Arkadyevna Oblonskaya, not Oblonsky—just as, on marrying Alexei Karenin, she became Anna Karenina. Can you explain that? Russian surnames have a masculine and a feminine form, the latter formed by suffixing -a to ...

Did anyone else notice this? Kimberly Flynn: 4800-4800=0 Lindsay Evans: 11400-1801=9599 Nick Klotz: 15400+7401=22801 (New Champ) Surely Lindsay meant to bet 1799, preserving a residue of 9601 in case of a miss and keeping Kimberly shut out if she doubles up to 9600. That would be a pretty shrewd wag...

“Phenomenons”? Really???

At least they aren't saying "a phenomena" yet. I see that one all the time.

Yeah, the media is full of it.

Well played.

Has Alex ever been this tutorial with betting advice before the FJ clue reveal? Maybe he's sick of bad wagering day after day after day. He might as well have filled out their bets - I don't think 3rd place has (correctly) bet zero in this situation in recent memory. On the contrary, it’s player B ...

I was able to get both President's, since both Harrison and Taylor died very early into their presidential terms. My first thought was that Webster was a Whig, and the Whigs only ever won two presidential elections: Harrison in 1840 and Taylor in 1848. Realizing that both died in office, and both o...

I'm surprised, but not surprised at easy misses like "caucus", and TS like (vomit in mouth) Ted Cruz.

Not to mention not recognizing the Gettysburg Address.

Is there a kill file on this board?

In the upper right where your username is, click on the down arrow and then User Control Panel. The last tab is Friends & Foes. Click on that, and then Manage Foes on the left. You can add a username there to ignore their posts.

good to see that champion was a one and doner I'm so glad you've added that thoughtful, incisive commentary to the discussion. I wonder if people will be rooting for you if you get on. i would hope nobody would...i like when people are against me and then i can shut them up by doing what they don't...

Well, that was a travesty! Just as TPH said upthread, that was one of the biggest scoring foul-ups I’ve ever seen. In the first place, they were right the first time to neg Hannah on “Marsh of Dreams.” Somnus doesn’t mean “dream,” it means “sleep.” And even if they were to accept “dreams” as a stret...

Buster Brown may have been obscure to you, but it's not at all obscure to someone my age (maybe 25 years older than you are). I saw endless Buster Brown commericals as a kid with him and his dog Tige. I’m Buster Brown; I live in a shoe. That’s my dog Tige— He lives in there, too. Advice to prospect...

I thought the reference to Boston was a TOM for Nathan Hale

Nathan Hale was from Connecticut and did his spying (and was hanged for it) in New York.

First, let me say I thought this was a hard-fought, competitive game that any of the three players would have deserved to win. Yes, there were some big misses and the wagering was a bit sloppy, but Jordan, in particular, fought gamely all the way and would have been a worthy champion if the breaks h...

Everybody on this forum seems to be surprised that they had a BMS for the pope but nobody has shown surprise that the reigning Jeopardy! champion didn't know who the pope was. Sometimes I forget that it's not John Paul II so I can sympathize with him.

Wait . . . you mean it isn’t Pius XII?

Cary left Alex’s hands tied for the FJ! round as the host and judges had no choice to in not accepting the pluralized response. The singular form of the parent territory has also been offered as a response on the show - and been rejected.. As well it should have been. I love the sardonic little smi...
