Re: Tuesday, March 5, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
At least Ben Chan made it to the semifinals all while the other two top seeded champions lost their QF matches.

Re: Monday, February 26, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
If Davies wants to bring the ToC back to being strictly annual, there need to be more regular games played per year than what he seems to currently envision. Exactly. To make ToC a strictly annual event, the following needs to happen in order for it to work well as it did when Alex hosted and the p...

That being said, I wonder if the 27-player format is going to be made permanent, meaning they're not reverting back to the old format anymore.

Re: Monday, February 26, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Remember that wild cards are no longer in play, makes it much more likely for a superchampion, even a truly great player, to get taken out in one game in the QF. If this was a traditional TOC Cris's total might have had him easily in wild card position, though missing FJ makes that not a certainty....

There will be no players from the 2022 ToC to the present as those players had a chance to qualify for Masters through ToCs.

Re: Monday, February 26, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Definitely disappointed by the outcome. I was expecting Cris to at least make it to the semifinals, but guess this wasn't meant to be. At least we had super-champions with 19+ wins make it to the semifinals in past ToC's (e.g. David Madden, Julia Collins*, James Holzhauer**, Jason Zuffranieri, and i...

Re: What changes are in store for Season 40?
I personally am not a fan of the special tournaments. (College definitely since it promotes 'Ivys' too much, though though I would acknowledge that it was on during celebrity big brother pre-DVR (I had to wait for my buildings contract to 'expire') and I was basically watching it on double screens ...

Re: What changes are in store for Season 40?
Another thing. That first-to-win-three best-of-seven series was good for GOAT since that was in primetime; but for the ToC finals, just leave it as a two-day total point affair. That being said, I'm wondering if Sarah or Jimmy get tapped to be executive producer, they would change things back to how...

Re: What changes are in store for Season 40?
Honestly, if there's one good thing Davies has done, it's giving me a far greater appreciation for the Harry Friedman era than I already did. Harry Friedman was actually a great executive producer, and the changes he made the show during his tenure were for the better. The Million Dollar Masters to...

Disappointing that Pluto removed Seasons 33 & 34. Also, I'm going to list what episodes OUGHT to be on Pluto in addition to season premieres and what other episodes are currently there. Season 17: season premiere, contestants no longer walk to their lecterns during the intros Brad Rutter origina...

But we don't know what they have. We don't know what they mean by recycling. Someone wrote not long ago that they randomly discard a full set of questions every taping day. They could have a lot of relatively recent material none of us have seen. It would be good to have clarification on that. I'd ...

Re: What changes are in store for Season 40?
That’s great they are increasing the prize money. Not so great for SCT and CWC from 2-3 years ago. I think this is going to cause viewership to plummet, and I have a feeling it's only a matter of time until the series gets called off because Davies is going way too far in fixing what isn't broken. ...

Ryan also wants to know about the beep-boops returning for Season 40. No plans for that, but Sarah likes those sounds for loading the board in the Masters. We may never know why in the first place, they even got rid of them in Season 25 (with the dollar amounts already present on the board followin...

What changes are in store for Season 40?
With one month left to go in Season 39, I can say how it has been a good season. It wasn't as historic as last season was because there were only two super-champions so far (Ray Lalonde and Cris Pannullo). But there were at least memorable moments, such as the audience being back in the studio for t...

Re: This Is Jeopardy!: The Story of America’s Favorite Quiz Show podcast
I have enjoyed this podcast. However, they could've mentioned contestants who rose to fame when the five-day limit was in effect (other than Brad Rutter). And I'm referring to names like Chuck Forrest, Frank Spangenberg, Jerome Vered. They also set show records in their original runs. And Spangenber...

Re: Jeopardy Masters Tournament announced
It’s great to see James, but not really impressed that all the others are all from the most recent TOC we just had a few months ago. It really needs a better variety of people from earlier seasons instead of just recent ones. I would definitely like to see Roger Craig, Austin Rogers, Sam Kavanaugh,...
