I said Portugal, too! I read an article online today written by Jack (not knowing he was on tonight’s show), so, when he showed up, I was rooting for him. Still, Avi showed his chops, so, good on him! I had to turn on the subtitles, but, when he hit the DD, he said to Jack, “Not getting rid of me that easily”, and, I had to chuckle a bit!
Still, ugh, every hesitation and stop from Mayim just grates on me. She just doesn’t sound as polished as Ken. When she adds something after a response, it sounds so forced, not natural (like saying the whole name of NOAA). I hope the rest of the contestants are as powerful as this evening!
I was chided once here for pointing out Mayim’s quirks. That said, I kinda like her on Celebrity Jeopardy where her far less polished approach works fine with the casualness (and often stupidity) of that show.
Well, I’m sorry. I don’t like to sound like a broken record but I don’t see why there even has to be a comparison between Ken and Mayim. They have their different styles, yes, but Ken does some of the things Mayim has been criticized for, like adding little quips and tidbits to the answers.
I also don’t care to childishly go tit for tat on that stuff, like she sounds so forced? What do Ken’s repetitious “oh, wow’s” sound like? (I save that for whenever my son tells me how much he likes Ken. I say, “oh, wow!” 🤣🤣 )
Personally, I think Mayim should get extra hazard pay with all the abuse directed at her on Twitter, plus all the “I’m not watching till Ken comes back.” I have no control over who hosts the show. If I did, Buzzy and Brooke Burns would be co-hosts. So at least over here, the best thing is to send hosting complaints to the show.
I thought that final was pretty tough, I guessed Portugal. After seeing the right answer it makes sense though, would have never got it though.
Alison’s appearance was announced on the local news here in Houston right before the show aired 😀
