Re: Fun with NBC's "The Weakest Link"
I doubt I could ever be on this show. I know that I'd be yelling, "STOP BANKING AFTER EVERY SINGLE QUESTION!" several times each round. At least in the first round you are pretty clearly wrong. Other rounds Im not entirely sure of the optimal strategy. Honestly there are only two optimal strategies...

Ahh, Matt and I were WoF tape-day-mates! Sad I missed his J! appearance.MarkBarrett wrote: ↑Sun Jun 14, 2020 12:03 amLine added, thanks. He'll have to wait until 2024 for his next game show appearance? The pattern says he would finish third.

Re: Fun with NBC's "The Weakest Link"
I managed to ID a contestant from the Anne version. Corey Burke from J! season 14 was the third highest winner ($133,500) on an episode of WL that aired Jan 7, 2003. http://www.j-archive.com/showplayer.php?player_id=1756 https://archive.hudsonreporter.com/2002/06/14/hes-the-weakest-link-resident-ta...

Also, Ryan Chaffee makes his debut.

Re: Friday, May 1, 2020 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
That FJ could use some copy editing. At first I thought it was asking about an English-speaking country with a Spanish article in it. The actual clue is way less interesting. Agree 100%. My suggested wording: It's the only country in the world whose English name contains a Spanish article. I do thi...

Today's contestant was 2010 J! College Tournament Champion Erin McLean. http://www.j-archive.com/showplayer.php?player_id=7553&highlight=erin+mclean Bummer she fell just short. She did really well, but once Jonathan said Stowe, I knew she was toast. I was able to edit this on Erin's 7553 J! page: E...

I got Luther's 95 Theses right away and then skipped forward wondering if it would be a triple stumper. It would have been awful if Alex had been the only one to get that right and then blew it because of her lousy wager. I don't get it. Both her opponents finished below her pre-FJ total, so there ...

That FJ seemed . . . easy for a TOC match. I did wonder if Marathon was too obvious. I don't think Anneke should have been BMS'd for her response of Guyana in the $2,000 "To the Stars" clue asking for a South American territory. French Guiana isn't a more specific version of saying "Guyana"; Guyana...

After a quick run-through of the archive, it appears Jason is the only 10+ winner who's won on multiple occasions thanks to the same classic second place miswager. I've seen this wagering mistake so often that it's baffling to me. It should be the second most basic wagering strategy you learn after ...

I was sure Air & Space was the most popular museum in D.C. but could not for the life of me think of which two words could be eliminated to give it its former name. ("If you take out 'air' and 'space', you're just left with "National Museum", which can't be right!") Tricky clue, I think. I figured ...

Re: J! in the Media
I would have gone with Garfield. It's supposed to be "100 people surveyed", right? The board totals only 66. Is there a threshold of 3 or something like that before a response is included? This happens often in round 3 after one family takes the first two rounds. The producers limit the available p...
