I can not handle this dork. He looks bored and has the look on his face that he knows all. Today was his 8th day. Nothing more.

i watched jeopardy the other night for the first time in like 8 years, so I know who you are talking about.

The weirder thing is that a girl at work was talking today about one of the answers to the show I watched.

2 Jeopardy references in the same day that were not Ken Jennings related or SNL skits, weird.

i've seen this guy. i thought he was fine for the first two days, but slowly got on my nerves.

I saw this guy last week when he won the fifth game and remember thinking that he seemed like a dick.

they should have kept the cap...who wants to see the same shmuck over and over again? this does not good tv make.

He won day ten today.

I want to see him get punched in the face.

We're all talking about it now, arn't we?

Jeopardy fucked itself when they changed the show in reponse to the success of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire".

Easier questions and bigger purses have made it unwatchable. Back in the good ol' days, if you got $10,000 you had to be at least pretty decent or damn lucky. Now, it seems every time I watch two of three break five figures before Final Jeopardy.

The questions have gotten ridiculous, thanks to the increased use of play on words or quotation categories. I can blow through entire shows now, which is why I quit watching.

Yes, I too have noticed that the questions are easier than they once were. But I always assumed I was just getting smarter. Thanks for shattering my bubble.

I'd love to watch it with you if you are really that good. Not that I'd beat you, but I'd be real surprised if it is really that easy for you. Ultimate Tournament questions were easy too then, right?

Down, Bronco. I don't watch it hardly ever anymore, so I don't know how hard those Ultimate Tournament questions are. I did watch the show about two weeks ago and only missed about one or two questions.

But for the most part, I am that damn good.

That may be part of it, but the categories that include a certain letter or phrase seem to pop up more than before. Then again, I don't watch the show much, so maybe I just happen across those days.

To me, it seems that regular Jeopardy is more like College Jeopardy from before.

I stilll want to sit and watch you (not eyes on you) while you go thru just about all the questions!

fu is right, and I have a standing challenge to anyone for $1 a question. I used to beat rooms full of people in college, often while drinking before during and after. Fact is, I'm smarter than you.

I guess it's just jealousy.

I don't know if that necessarily makes it "better," but whatever you want.

THIS... IS... JEALOUSY!

you should come over and watch it with jasmine, her roommate, and i. they tivo every episode and we have marathon viewings on boring evenings.

i think that it's gotten harder. they ask a lot of questions about kings and german whatnot now.

So, you're saying that you correctly answered 60 out of 61 questions during that show? I don't believe you.

If this is true, why haven't you tried out? You're better than Ken Jennings.

The final Jeopardy question the day I'm being grilled on was:

"Of the 15 expulsions of senators in the Senate's 215-year history, 11 took place in this year."

The answer was an easy "1861".

I got it immediately, only one contestant got it right, and one of the two losers answered, "1974".

I would put down decent money less than 20% of the people on this board would have gotten the correct answer on that one, while quite a few would call it difficult.

I got that one right. (1861) I enjoy that era of time. I'm going to the Lincoln museum maybe in two weeks!

I Tivo it daily as well, Z. I like to see the enthusiasm for this show. I wouldn't say the questions have gotten easier, but I do agree on the letters in quotes comment.

Jeopardy is still on?

I was watching Big Money Match Game on the Game Show Network the other night. In the final match round, the clue was "Sid <blank>"

The #3 audience response was "Vicious" to which Gene Rayburn commented: "Punk rock singer?"

Charles Nelson Riley: "He just died"

Rayburn: "Then what's he doing here?"

A few months ago, the clue to final Celebrity Jeopardy was something like, "There were this many US Senators 50 years ago". All the celebrities were somehow involved in politics, I think (Tim Russert is the only one I remember), and yet none of them got the right answer.

I thought that was kind of sad.

EDIT: Searching Google, I found that the other two celebs were Christie Todd Whitman and Tavis Smiley.
