Jeopardy! Thread (No spoilers until after the show EST)

Can’t believe none of these whipper snappers got the “ding-ding hose” clue today

Lady doesn’t bet the extra dollar. Gets a tie and still wins the buzzer race. Instant Karma why have you forsaken me?

That is savage AF.

I haven’t even watched the college tournament yet, but I’m already sad this guy didn’t win.

I just watched the wildest round of wheel on fortune of my life

Another feather in your [blank]a[blank]

Same player had 3 chances to solve and blew every one. Hat, lap, then spun and hit a p, and guessed map

you know that classic traveler thing where you fold up a map and you put a feather inside if you’ve traveled somewhere adventurous

Wtf with the challengers clothes tonight. First we got the dude in the plaid jacket and then the older lady that got lost on her way to the opera.

When the cancer survivor was wearing the wig she looked like Kate McKinnon playing a Jeopardy contestant.

She seemed very tired on last nights game.

Here it is. The guy on the right didn’t know it, either. The one player who did kept hitting bankrupt and lose a turn:

Questlove does make a point, though:

Another feather in your… lap?

e.g. a couple of weeks ago there were three millenials on jeopardy and none of them knew about the “ding ding” hose at a gas station since none of them have probably ever seen full-service gas.

that seems like a way better example of time moving on than “feather in your cap” tbh. there are tons of even more anachronistic idioms with weird words nobody uses anymore outside of those particular idioms yet people still know them.

There were a limited number of options.

Cap that works.
Fap-no, no, no, yes, yes, yes
Gap-no
Jap-hell no
Lap- I guess
Map-no
Pap-smear
Rap-Diddy
Sap-no
Tap-did you that?
Wap- racist
Yap-little dog
Zap-pa

Another Feather In Your W.A.P. would be something.

The other reason why this is such a bad example is that her first guess was hat!

Obviously she didn’t deduce hat based on the letters since H and T were already in play, so it seems like she had some familiarity with the phrase but she just couldn’t get from hat to cap.

I am in love with the current champ. Soothing accent, no kids, spends all her money on jewelry. We’re perfect for each other

Middle dude today with the extremely unnecessarily ballsy DD wager, wow.

Anyway,
