    Another eye-popping number of triple stumpers. Perhaps we will see a potential 4x champ when we see that number go down.

    • Howard says:

      Most of those stumpers were pretty tough, although missing the Army major and the evangelist was inexcusable.

      • Lou says:

        I knew them because there is a hospital named after the army major in Bethesda, maryland. For the contestants to miss those and the subways tells me they are pure beginners. By the way, reyjkavik does not have a train system there since mostly the heart of europe has it and elsewhere in the world.

    Jeopardy will have to announce a perm host soon if a new perm host is to begin after labor day. They film about 2 months in advance so the show should have a new perm host filming by mid july if that is their intention.

    I prefer the current format with rotating hosts. My mom never watched with trebek but she loves watching for the guest hosts.

  3. Lou says:

    It was an up and down game for Becky, not counting the triple stumpers. Furthermore, I don’t think Iceland even has any subways since they are all within central and western Europe. Kavanaugh was recently in.the news during the presidency of trump, didn’t he testify in.congress previously? but this was an easy final. I doubt ankit could last long but we shall see if we can get a streaker and soon.
