you can misspell final jeopardy, but a misspelling that adds or removes a syllable doesn’t count

It’s so dumb. I would guess most people pronounce it how he wrote it.
I’ve always thought it was dicathalon
Eraserhead erased
rip to a legend
Quite the doo on the new champ too.
Wow. Wednesday nights episode was like watching pre James.
Less than 6k total after the first round.
Some top down clue picking. Small wagers.

Turned it on, saw Bible shit, turned it off.
Damn how did he lose? Saw it on my news feed and came in here to check. Caught one episode last week and he crushed.
Just a pretty poor game overall. At least 3 ring ins and misses. Missed finding the DDs.

Pretty much what CM said. He was actually way out in front after round 1, despite not finding the DD, but Double Jeopardy was a disaster.
He still had a shot if he got FJ and the others missed, since they were nearly tied and both bet huge, but the opposite happened where he missed a fairly easy one and they both got it. The guy who won is still champ.
Yeah, I was surprised he missed Final. It was pretty easy. And he definitely looked shook at one point in the second round when he was missing.

What a shame. I really like eraserhead. Seemed like a humble guy that was always in disbelief on his winnings. Glad I got to watch the run.

ya matt’s signature face expression for his run was like morty from rick and morty. “aw jeez, another host? another 50k? wow!”
james holzhauer had that menacing toothy smile like a silverback gorilla when you’re in his territory and he’s about to rip your head off

i think mayim found the rhythm of hosting. she’s doing great. keep her and forget about ken jennings
I’ve caught a few episodes lately and found her to be pretty competent. Sounds like she dropped all the nonsense that was holding her back earlier and was just doing the straightforward thing. Still wouldn’t mind getting Ken back given everything posted about her ITT
It kept tilting me when Matt would have a huge runaway, be up by like 30k then would bet 20k or whatever on final and she would go “wow what a huge bet!”
The shookness was super obvious in DJ. It was like a self-fulfilling prophecy at that point.
I wouldn’t be that surprised if he doesn’t win TOC. Obviously he is the favorite, but I don’t think he is a James-level favorite. He is more vulnerable than James when people adjust to him, which they obviously will.
