Ken Jennings is my favorite Jeopardy host of all time, but I don’t like one thing. Ken is continuing to accept only last names when a first name should also be required. Tonight, ‘Brolin’ was accepted when there are two famous Brolins, James and Josh. Also, King James was accepted without Ken requesting the contestant to be more specific in answering with James I or James 2. I can’t be the only jerk who missed that.
I believe those rules are set by the writers and producers, not Ken. He’s just the host.
I was surprised the two librarians lost. Normally most contestants in that particular occupation fare quite well on the show. Surprises all around for me tonight.
My classical music knowledge is severely lacking, although sometimes I make a good educated guess. Not tonight. Classical Music was the category that sealed my undoing in 1987, when I was edged out by a classical music DJ.
The Black Sea resort is pretty basic world history. A librarian should have known that. Stumpers were tough, other than the D’Onofrio character and Schouten’s birthplace.
I agree with Jason that Barb is too over-the-top. She makes Michalle’s “Okay” after her correct responses seem tolerable.
Wow – Barb certainly didn’t strike me as having a typical Jeopardy! temperament. She actually started to bug me, just a bit. Then, last night, to go into Celebrity Jeopardy! was more of the same. I just don’t like the over-emotive thing.
I had zero idea for final.
We haven’t had a literature question as the FJ clue in the tourney since the first day. Maybe they’ll go to my wheelhouse twice in a row for the final game, and have a Dostoevsky-related clue?
