Kelly was like a small child. Super annoying. Lack of composure. Bubbly beyond the pale and giving advice to other contestants (bet it all). I Really hate those kinds of contestants. Yuck. Double yuck.
well, that’s more than enough from the anti-Kelly contingent. That was yesterday. Move on.
Kelly was too goofy and didn’t do that well. Another recent contestant, Maggie, who was on the teacher’s tournament, was eccentric but did much better in the game.
I just posted Jeopardy!’s video with Kelly’s interaction with Alex. She’s not goofy.
The clues this season are too wordy—-it’s taking so long to read them that the board is not being cleared.
I’d just have to say all three players were very fun loving especially Kelly, she is considered one of the most fun loving players ever on this program though it’s a shame she got dismissed before Final Jeopardy!
They all missed their daily double opportunities as the daily doubles weren’t kind to anybody.
So far we’ve had contestants from one state. Perhaps not a good idea but with Covid-19 Jeopardy has little choice. I personally would not want to fly out there. Perhaps the producers figured something is better than nothing.
I guess this is how it’s gonna be from now on until the Covid-19 stops.
Kelly was super annoying.
She was definitely over the top and not your usual somber J! contestant, but something about her made her kind of lovable.
I agree, Howard. She was obviously fun-loving and lively, which some find annoying. To me, Kelly came off as as totally genuine and not showing off, and that’s what made her fun to watch.
Awful episode with all 3 DD’s were missed resulted our first skunking of the season.
I’m not upset about tonight’s game, because we’re still early on in the new season. We’ll move over to tomorrow’s episode, and see if tomorrow’s players can do better.
My hedged/half prediction of a Davy Crockett response this morning ended up happening. If Davy Crockett been the correct response, I suppose, based off of yesterday’s ruling, the contestant’s answer would have not been accepted because he spelled the first name incorrectly, which seems beyond bizarre to me.
Since they generally don’t penalize for spelling, he would not have been dinged for his misspelling because Davy/Davey/Davie are all pronounced the same. Berry and Barry are not (by most people), and more importantly, those are two different names entirely. Like Mary and Merry, Sherry and Shari. There was no effect on the outcome, and she should have simply written Gordy, which is the way most players play. First names are mandatory when it’s a choice of two or more possibilities, like Roosevelt, Adams or Bush for a president.
The official response from Jeopardy was that “Barry” was ruled incorrect, not because of pronunciation, but because as spelled, it added “incorrect information to an otherwise correct response”. Everyone thought it was a pronunciation issue, but that was not the case.
Oh, man. This game had its ups and downs.
By the way, Kelly Decker reminded me of ryan fenster? She looks so like him.
Big difference- Ryan Fenster won several games
I would have loved to see Cory win another game. David should have stayed with his original response. We have our first dismissal of this season. I don’t know if he could win another game but we shall see. What made him choose Davey Crockett?
I think it’s that David did write down Daniel Boone, but he wasn’t as sure as he would have liked to have been. So, he changed it to Davey Crockett. Why? I don’t know.
$12,200 from triple stumpers and a fourth podium win.
