While I think people may refer to "penalty minutes" as "penalties", that's definitely too informal. Isn't Alex Canadian?

The box score if you're interested.

Okay, what IS a "wine-tasting consultant"?

What's Lach Trash?

Also, this is a thing now? I gotta participate more.

Congrats to James on his ToC victory (he became the first 10+ time champion to win a ToC) For those who wondered (like I did) what about Ken?

The no shout-outs rule is even dumber than the no ties rule.

"Fatherland", 4 years...triple stumper? Bah, nobody deserves to return

Not just because Roey's from Arlington (where I live), but I LOATHE this tiebreaker rule. What's the point of it? It's also stupid that the loser in this case only got 2000 instead of nearly 20k :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: I suspect most people would rather see a sole wi...

Huh, today I learned "Life" had a Suicide square

Now that the show has aired I am sure there will be some interview with James concerning the episode he crossed $2m in winnings and his FJ answer will be explained. It quite possibly was a shout out to his hometown on the day he crossed $2m in winnings and that's all. Which would explain why he has...

According to Fikkle Fame, John Woo was a triple stumper. All 3 contestants should thus be disqualified. How do you now know John Woo? :oops: To give you the complete picture: CLASSIC FOREIGN FILMS $1200: The 1989 action film “The Killer” was a thrill ride from this Hong Kong director This was the f...

What a STUPID rule change.

Evidently, the producers are worried that James is wasting too much precious FJ response time and want to force him to play more efficiently.

What a STUPID reason for a STUPID rule change. It's not like he's getting more time to answer.

$1,155,000 for 15 games is $77,000 average. With $1,061,554 banked that has James needing $93,446 (and a win) tomorrow to hit the magical average. To even mention such hypotheticals would have seemed insane prior to James hitting the stage. I appreciate that you allowed for the possibility that Jam...

Any reason for the extra $6 in the FJ wager?

Also, why DOES it lock you out? I'm not fond of that. Because they want a disincentive for buzzing in early. Yeah, I got that, but WHY don't they want people to buzz in early. Personally I feel if you know it, you should be able to buzz in whenever (with the exception of there being contestants lik...

Heh, I THOUGHT 3 seconds was too much; I did know there was SOME lockout.

Buzzing speed matters. In every game so far, there’s one player who barely buzzes in, and I doubt it’s because they don’t know the answers. Of course buzzing speed matters greatly, but I think James also knows a bit more of the material than the average contestant. This reminds me of triviawayne's ...

Good gravy

New single-day record (he owns what, the top 4 now)?

Is it a new record for most money before FJ, and a new record for most bet on FJ?
