Did we get served different jeopardy!s today? It wasnā€™t no shores of tripoli

Nah, he was describing an old episode.

I didnā€™t see the episode but I did know the answer.

Thatā€™s because I sung it as a 10 year old as a part of school chorus.

I remembered it as the Marine Corps Hymn. Not sure if they would have spotted me that.

looks like theyā€™re changing up the format this year

21 total? 19 champs plus two losers?

overall, this is a sick roster, but itā€™s reminding me that this has also been one of the most tilting seasons ever

Maybe the strongest season of jeopardy ever

even in this fucking murdererā€™s row they managed to squeeze her in (this post was about maureen oā€™neil)

Thatā€™s too many people.

Guessing the last 18 play down to 6 over 6 games. Then these 6 would join the top 3 in a final week of play like they do in second week of a standard ToC.

But who knows.

Yep 18 play down to 6 and Matt Amy and Mattea have a bye to the semis. Also they are changing the finals to the GOAT tournament format where first to win 3 games win

Yeah I just think 18 is too much TV time for bottom feeders playing against each other. Give me more of the real champs slaying fools. Iā€™d probably do something like:

(1) Rank the top P players who each play G games
(2) Set up a series of matches such that each lineup is unique
(3) Top 3 money winners advance to finals

Example: P = 12 players who get G = 2 games each
Matt would be the #1, Mattea the #2, Amy the #3ā€¦

The goats appear in 75% of the matches this way. Donā€™t really care about MAUREEN, Tyler, and Christine battles to see who gets to be the sacrificial lamb. Show me a lamb slaughter every night (or maybe itā€™s a David slaying Goliath surprise).

It feels like Matt, Mattea, and Amy all had their own season. Itā€™s wild that all three of those runs were in the same season.

Jfc. Iā€™m so sick of the coverage and tonightā€™s FJ is British Royal Family.

And of course, the lady at the middle podium does a great job to get the lead and the boofs it with a nonsensical small wager.

Edit- someone on the J board who was at the taping says she meant to wager 14801 which is the lockout wager. She did the math correctly and accidentally left off the ā€œ4ā€. She realized her mistake after she locked in her wager and was so upset they had to fix her makeup. Ouch.

omg brutal

She confirmed this on Reddit:

She was visibly upset. Didnā€™t piece together it was because she wrote it wrong and not just a bonehead underbet. Would be wild if Luigi went on a huge tear now, which Iā€™m definitely rooting for because heā€™s great.

For people who arenā€™t going to trawl the reddit thread, here is her wager sheet,

and thereā€™s some interesting behind the scenes info in this post that I wasnā€™t aware of:
