I know Jeopardy likes a winner, but you think they’d pick somebody other than Mr. Excitement to give it to. And I say “give” in the true sense of, well, the movie “Quiz Show.” Of course, there’s no proof anybody is given any answers ahead of time, but there’s enough proof at least for me that they’re given easier questions. When Mattea was on her run, I was constantly stumped by questions she blithely answered with a wave of her floppy wrist. Now I routinely answer nearly every question, including those all the contestants miss. I’m not saying I’m that smart, but I will say that the questions are that dumb.
Last Thursday, we too were preëmpted in Montana, I think the whole state was affected. Anyway, I always check in to Fikklefame for VJs Recaps, and almost always learn something.
Friday’s FJ on Technology I thought was fairly easy, knowing something about Samuel F. B. Morse. And his father Jedidiah Morse (1761-1826), who was a Congregational minister out of Yale. He is known as the “Father of American Geography” starting with “Geography Made Easy”(1784)and “American Geography”(1789), with many revisions and editions.
But I can’t blame some contestants for missing some clues, because the Clue Crew work hard to make the clues as obscure as possible but still reasonably gettable by the quick and the acute; and would be easily solvable if the clue was stated in normal colloquial English. Mr. Ryan Long is doing just fine. His conservative wagering minimizes ultimate disaster. Maybe a born economist. He’s one of the good guys alright.
Yeah, I guessed that Ryan would wager $1500.
I got about 1/3 of the TS.
I guess Ryan was trying to even up his total just for this game and didn’t realize his total winnings would be $300K if he tacked $600 more on that bet.
VJ, The game tonight was quite interesting. Ryan is now 50% correct & 50% incorrect on fj clues. That’s progress from our discussion yesterday.
True, Jacob, that was good on the one hand.
On the other, it was back to a boatload of triple stumpers!
In the Don’t Get Confused category, I have never messed up those two words thanks to a teacher who taught us to associate the “A” with “stand” and “E” with “letter”. She had other ones, too, like stalaCtite (ceiling) and stalaGmite (ground).
I hope Ryan gets win 17 on Monday and ties with Jason Zuffranieri
Jason Zuffranieri won 19 games.
