I must be setting a LL record for ineptitude this season. A personal record-setting 7th straight loss (dating back to last season) and a 2(3)-8(4) loss on MD6.

Facepalm moment when I saw the correct answer for the restaurant chain question on MD4; could not, for the life of me, come up with Howard Johnson but my sister's first job was as a waitress at our local Howard Johnson restaurant when she was a teenager. This is already a lost season for me and I ap...

For 30 minutes before the test, I was reading the Wikipedia article on Opera, since it is a weak category for me. Then, the online test started. Lo and behold, there was an Opera question, about "Carmen", something I had just read about on Wikipedia...and still got the composer's name wrong. So much...

I was in the "Night Before Christmas" club. Grrrr...I should have known FJ.

I hate categories like the Jeff Goldblum category. He was so slow reading the clues...really slowed down the game.

I opened LL83 with a 3(3)-4(4) loss. Whitney Houston was a guess that actually was correct; I guessed Denver (which was wrong)...but was also the most common incorrect answer.

At least I'm 1.000 in DE after one day.

I am embarrassed to admit, as a former meteorologist (and with a Bachelors in meteorology), that I missed FJ.

The TOC Final is going to be epic.

It was good to see James again...and actually, I was glad to see all three players. I thought we were in for a game when Alan got the DD to cut James' lead to $800...but then, James did what he usually did during his run: took control of the board and got on a roll. For FJ...my answer was Ella Fitzg...

The station which airs "Jeopardy" in our market often cuts away to a news break during the credits. They always show the beginning of the closing credits, and sometimes, will let it play all the way to the end but other times, they don't let it play out all the way.

I'm a little late posting to this thread (haven't been on the board in a couple of months) but this TOC field looks outstanding and the games should be exciting. I'm glad to see Emma in the field...but am hoping some of the 4-time champions who didn't make the field can be included in a future TOC. ...

I always record "Jeopardy" to watch right before I go to bed or first thing when I wake up in the morning. This evening, I was watching the NCAA Baseball Tournament on ESPNU when an item scrolled across the ticker that "James Holzhauer's streak had ended", spoiling the episode for me before I could ...

"Big Red Spot," alas. At least it wasn't my margin of defeat in either of my lost matches.

I made the same mistake. And I am an astronomy buff; I knew better. Def a facepalm moment when I saw the correct answer.

I loved that there was a clue on Simple Minds! I enjoyed that category in general. Seeing the Go-Go's come up made my day. I've been binge watching Go-Go's concert clips on YouTube nearly every night for the last couple weeks. :D I never would have got that (without the video) by simply doing the m...

I will have to give Dead Sand a try. Now that Sue Grafton is gone, I need a new series to read...and if it's a series, I just find it better to start at the beginning.

I want to see how James handles an obscure category like "12th Century Russian Art"...and has there been an Opera category during his run?

James was absolutely on fire in Tuesday night's game. Impressive performance once again. I felt really bad for Katie...just imagining myself in her position after waiting a very long time to finally get on the show only to be up against a human machine...then not getting to ring in on that final clu...

James is simply awesome. Once he gets on a roll, he just overwhelms his challengers with his deep knowledge base, knocking off the high-dollar clues with little effort and leaving less-valued clues for his opponents that don't amount to much. Certainly has the potential for a long run. I can't repea...

I made a costly error on MD11, putting Holy Roman Empire instead of just Roman Empire, and lost (2)2-4(4). Had I just put Roman Empire, it would have resulted in a tie. After winning 5 in a row, I have now lost three straight in Taiga D Division 1.

This is a stunning development. Pancreatic cancer is among the worst types because one often isn't even aware they have it until the disease is well into its latter stages. My late brother-in-law succumbed to pancreatic cancer within 35 days of diagnosis. I hope Alex has a better outcome and can, in...

Does anyone know why today is an off-day for LL?
