Agree with above, but bolded is a bit out of place here. ANW has nothing to do with fighting. It’s a bunch of obstacle courses that mostly require a high upper body strength to weight ratio. Yogesh’s point is dumb, but not quite that dumb.
They are all games within TV shows. There is no competition committee resulting in a pure “sport” (and haha at that).
Just gotta be fair according to standards and practices of the TV people. But above all it’s gotta be fun to watch. Survivor is brutal with how some of the twists impact the fates of the players. Thems the rules.

Huh. Troy told a charming personal anecdote that in no way was a brag about being better than someone else (though I supposed it’s a “had sex” brag since he got married).
i don’t like this current champ. i like when contestants take it seriously as a game but i don’t like how he’s taking it seriously. i think matt amodio nailed the winning jeopardy persona, just be a little goofy and act amazed that you’re doing well at all

Like I was saying before, lulz at Yogesh thinking people were coming at him b/c racism when the problem was he’s an annoying weirdo, and those people always get rekt on social. Luckily for him, he was quickly dethroned by this kid who seems like a cross between Richie Rich and Matt Gaetz. He and Yogesh are two of the archetypes you meet at quiz bowl tournaments that “normal” people would never have a voluntary conversation because they are too creeped out.

“Long story short, Troy is a far superior pure trivia player than Cris Pannullo,” DeArruda said. He referenced the champion on episodes at the time. “He’s the top player on LearnedLeague – a league with hundreds of the best past, present, and future trivia champions, and has won the league multiple times.”
Hahaha another one of these fucking dudes again. Chris Pannullo won $750k in 21 games and is the 5th winningest player of all time. With future TOC and being able to leverage his likeness, he may never have to work again. But sure, some guy is better at some other game and won a tote bag and dinner for two at Denny’s.

To be fair, I’m guessing this guy is on the HFA spectrum.
Yesssssssss
Didn’t one of the loveable nerds basically commit rape? Gotta think that takes the loveablility factor down bigly. It’s crazy the kind of shit that was not only acceptable but actually considered funny back in the day.
So we ran through 3 big time quiz folks and they got 10 total wins?

They’re way better at other trivia games than the people who beat them though. Like “imma let you finish but Beyonce played one of the best trivia matches of all time” better.

Well yeah, duh. Jeopardy isn’t about quizzing.
Am I understanding it correctly that the current champ has a British accent because he visited there? Seems like this is the season the casting directors really tried to outdo each other.
he’s one of those new york natives from portland with a british accent. dime a dozen.

The good ol’ Transatlantic accent. Knew a couple of people with them. Pretty solid sign that you come from money.
