Please take complaints about Mattea’s personality to Jeopardy’s Facebook page or to Twitter. Go see what happens and you’ll know why.
Comments about runaway games being boring and monotonous are okay.
In the latter part of March 2022, I was in travel status and could not watch jeopardy but I I googled jeopardy New York Times for the final jeopardy clue and the exact one of today, May 5, 2022 came up… what’s the deal? I think an injustice has been done. Alex would never have allowed it.
Also a response mattea gave today was ranger instead of Texas Ranger. She was not specific as others are required to be. ???? Doesn’t appear equal treatment is being given. And the final question of 5/5/2022 should be thrown out!
As to your first question, it looks like a data entry error by some employee at Jeopardy. Mistakes happen. I’m pretty sure Alex never had any oversight over such technical matters, so I don’t think your point is correct.
As for your latter point, that clue contained the phrase “these Texas lawmen.” When part of a clue’s response is included in the clue, that included part need not be also included in the contestant’s response. That’s very standard Jeopardy rules.
Exciting – a zero dollar bet. Added excitement – giving the reason for your response. In the words of US Marshal Sam Girard, “I don’t care!”
Kelly was her own worst enemy. She rang in a few times when she just should not have.
Oh well! Hope springs eternal!
Ken said Rick Astley during Mattea’s response in “Final Jeopardy!”.
Here’s the YouTube video of the “Never Gonna Give You Up” sing-along with Rick Astley that Mattea was talking about during the chat
The judges didn’t catch the mispronunciation of Anais. Mattea said Ah nah nees instead of the correct Ah nah ees
@Curtis, I heard a double “n” in there too.
Sorry that the last daily double wasn’t kind to Kelly.
