James is so punchable

Canā€™t wait for Brad to get both in the next round

The final Jeopardy answer should be, ā€œThis film won best motion picture in 1955ā€, and Brad should write On the Waterfront.

THATā€™S WHAT Iā€™M FUCKING TALKING ABOUT

James can lock it up with a correct answer it looks like

Based on absolutely nothing I think this is a better category for Ken

All too easy

Whole show was rigged never watching this crap again

Not a big Geo Party fan but my dad always watched it and I certainly was sucked into the stories of all three of these players.

That being said I am glad for the guy who won.

Iā€™m not going to pretend that I got Iago, but I know that Iago has more lines than Othello, seems like a relatively easy question for trivia nerds

Yeah my daughter (who isnā€™t a trivia nerd at all) knew Iago and was yelling wtf James at the TV afterwards, lol.

Razor-thin skill margin between the two of them overall, if James had run better finding DDs then he probably takes it, but Iā€™d say Ken deserved it (I think he had two single-get FJs to Jamesā€™ zero?). Love Ken too so I had no problem with him winning.

As I had mentioned on 22, Jamesā€™ biggest advantage over mere mortals was his aggressive strategy, and when players of similar skill duplicate it (which of course is pretty damn easy to do) his advantage gets neutered completely. Still, being a coinflip against Ken is nothing to be ashamed of.

I said Iago out loud but it was a straight up guess

I was leveling myself thinking maybe thereā€™s a prince or narrator who has more speeches across all the plays.

My main beef is with Brad, his Faraday guess on a DD clue on electromagnetism for 10k was just a tank job, I canā€™t believe for a second he didnā€™t know it was Maxwell.

Brad seems to be getting a lot of shit for his performance, I wonder if his heart just isnā€™t in it anymore. Iā€™d imagine you have to dedicate some solid hours every day to stay at the top of your trivia game, could be he just doesnā€™t want to.

Iā€™m not fronting, I couldnā€™t pass a high school physics final atm (ok yes I could but Iā€™d have to figure most of it out on the spot), but not knowing that Maxwell is the guy who formalized electromagnetism seems like the easiest of scientific trivia things. For example, Iā€™m pretty sure it was Brad who answered correctly about a French chemist who got executed during the French revolution (Lavoisier), thatā€™s still not super hard, but to know Lavoisier and not Maxwell is just ā€¦ how?

I had Iago, but also thought Marc Antony might be it.
