Not sure if something about this has been posted yet. In match 1, Ken had the functional equivalent of leading in a 2/3 game. He would win if he got FJ! OR James missed it. In match 2, James was ahead in a non-2/3 game. So, if he made the normal lockout wager (which of course he was going to do wit...

I'm able to watch ABC shows through on demand. I didn't know this until a week ago. I had forgotten to tape the special leading up to the GOAT tournament, but fortunately stumbled across it on on demand. The only drawback was that the fast forward option was disabled which meant that commercials wer...

For FJ!, my mind immediately leapt to Napoleon who was well know as being short. Fortunately, I then started thinking of US presidents also know to be short around that time. I first thought of John Adams, but realized he was too early. Then I thought of Martin Van Buren, who was too late. I knew th...

8:00 p.m. ABC – Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions (premiere) Viewers: 14.01 million (#1), A18-49: 2.3/11 (#1) If the tournament holds these wonderful ratings, I would expect some more J! primetime programming in the summer, maybe something akin to Super Jeopardy! where the field is expanded. That w...

We'd be better off without another celebrity version of this show.

This game will demoralize borderline folks like me who are prepping for the audition test. Yikes! So many, many NHOs and HTFWIKTs. Then again, I'm not a trivia imbiber like many are here (and like those three obviously are) - my meager knowledge is all-natural. The sheer speed on the wordplay categ...

I'm with Alex - that think music seemed short. Did anyone time it?

I don't know that it felt short, but I did feel that the tempo of the music itself was a little quicker than usual. If I were playing and heard that music, it would have raised my anxiety level a bit.

Since the "will" clue might be a bit ambiguous, as pointed out above, how about: In a GEICO commercial, a group of pigeons is urged to "fire at" someone with this first name. Even if she hasn't seen the commercial, she could easily figure out the correct response from the common expression "fire at ...

Erin's guess of Oregon for "Timber' wasn't a bad guess, with the Portland Timbers of MLS (and before that, NASL). :| I so wanted Jonathan to say "Make this a true daily triple, Alex" at the start of DJ. :geek: Military alphabet is one of those lists a J! player should know, along with the President...

Third (pardon my ignorance): what the hell is "Kip" Marlowe? I' know who Marlowe was, read some of his work in college, even came up with "Who was Marlowe?" for this FJ. Is "Kip" some nickname I've just never heard of? Was Marlowe, unbeknownst to us, secretly Kenyan? And what's up with including th...

That certainly is great news. Unfortunately, with pancreatic cancer, Alex still has a long way to go to recovery. Let’s all hope that he’s one of the few who beats the odds. On a related topic, does anyone else believe that Holzhauer’s run is a gift for Alex? He is obviously enjoying the run though ...

Since Alex hasn't won an Emmy in over a decade, this award was probably at least partially given based on his current health issues. Of course, he certainly deserved it anyway, but it's still nice to see him get another Emmy. On a related topic, I think it's great that Alex (most likely) gets to fin...

I fairly confidently negged with Penzance in place of HFS Pinafore.

It's the one about duty.

They're all about duty!

BTW, it's commendable that the one stratagem he's never used is taking as much time as possible to come up with the wager, so as to run out the clock. With good reason ... why would he want to run out the clock? That just means less money for him. I was thinking that's what his opponents should be ...

Taping for the season is over. Does the fact that we haven’t heard about James losing, like we did for the Zerg-Jennings game, mean that he ran the rest of the season? Not at all. Did you know about this magnificent run until it was imminent? Actually, I didn’t know about it until he first broke th...

It just dawned on me that the $250,000 given to the winner of the ToC is a minimum guarantee. It would be fun to see if James can break that on a two day, total point affair. I don't know if James would bet huge on the first day FJ, even if he had a lead typical of his regular games.. A miss on it ...

Got a 45 playing off the video to go with my 47 on Tuesday and 43 on Wednesday (real thing). Went with Rye instead of Barley. Said downhill instead of halfpipe (stupidity on my part). Had no guess on Franzen. Said Regan rather than Cordelia. And finally said FEMA instead of NOAA. The long wait conti...

After my 47 last night off the video, I dropped back into my typical range with a 43. I can live with that.
