Hello all!! Tonight is the start of the first ever Jeopardy Masters Tournament! I think it's a super strong line-up and I am looking forward to it.
First off, I love Jeopardy, it has always been a fun way to test knowledge or most of all learn new things.
I hope Mattea and James do well in the tournament and hope to talk with the EMAW Elites about this exciting tournament.
As always RIP ALEX TREBEK!
LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD!

I used to watch Jeopardy almost every night and got really good at it. Probably could have made a run, but I haven't watched it in a long time now.

I have watched it every night for about 3ish years now and you certainly get alot better at when you train your mind to think like the clues.
-
I watch it a ton and am very smart and I would do terribly on the show
literature kills me
also I feel bad but I don't like Bialik as the host. She has weird pauses and awkward laughs all the time. Ken is a natural

about a year ago i was doing a preso for work and at the end i had set up a Jeopardy! style trivia game and somehow i ended up on the Jeopardy! webbed site and i guess there's a quiz you have to take and pass to even apply to be a contestant on Jeopardy! You have to like create an account and its a whole thing. At the time there was a problem w/ the site b/c i could not get the actual test to load, only the practice test. and yes i tried opening it in like all the different possible browsers. Have not been back to see if they fixed it. maybe i'll do that this day
-
We watch Jeopardy as a family, every day, and have for years. I hope Amy wrecks them in the masters tournament.
Mayim is a terrible host, which is unfortunate. She drives me crazy. The pauses before she tells the contestants they are correct when answering a daily double, is brutal. Not sure if you all watched the regular show today but her non acceptance of how the champion pronounced Solzhenitsyn made me want to throw my phone at my television. The current champion, Hannah Wilson, has the look of the second transgender super champion in a year and a half, she's really good and I think she'll win this season's TOC.

Is Mattea Roach in this? I want her to win

agree on Blossom, and Ken
Also agree on Literature being the worst followed by art, although taking Art History at kstate gets me surprisingly good guesses at a lot of stuff.
It's definitely a thing you've got to watch constantly to get good at, like crossword puzzles.

I would watch Jeopardy when I would get off the bus with my mom as we would get home around the same time before I got involved in sports. I recently restarted watching since I got cable back. I think Hannah is very good. I think that she also has a great shot at the TOC but still a lot of competition left. She is on a 4 day streak!

Is Mattea Roach in this? I want her to win
she was on last night but came in 3rd and got 0 points.

Is Mattea Roach in this? I want her to win
she was on last night but came in 3rd and got 0 points.
Is Amy Schneider on? Chris Pannulo? Matt Amodio? Some really good super champs in the last 18 months or so.
I haven't habitually watched it in a few months.

the 6 contestants are James Holzhauer, Amy Schneider, Matt Amodio, Mattea Roach, Andrew He, and Sam Buttrey.

former competitive jeopardy player here, ama
first thing first, the challenge isn’t knowing the question (we players all know every answer more often than not), the challenge IS mastering the timing of the buzzer.
with that said, if chingon or saul want to “code” this site to allow for everyone here to form one super-team and turn the site into a jeopardy video game, AND challenge me to a game of jeopardy, I would destroy you all. no disrespect but either you are a jeopardy player or you aren’t, and afaik i’m the one who is known as a jeopardy player, not you people.
thoughts?
-
I’ll take inflated ego for 400, Ken. :lol:
-
The art, ballet, and opera categories kill me.
If I was prepping for the show I would go hard on studying geography, and bone up on the aforementioned categories.
I’d just have to surrender modern literature stuff.

Chris will be on this season's TOC, he's not a master yet, not really a fan. I also don't like Mattea, they're both a little too quirky for me.

When I was on sports jeopardy my game was delayed because I couldn't get the timing of the buzzer right. They had to stop our warmup game to assist me. The thing is they tell you to buzz in when the lights around the board turn off but you actually need to buzz in a fraction of a second before then.
Also you would not beat me. Fun fact, I've never lost a game of trivia pursuit.
-
If y'all haven't taken the contestant test, do so, it's hard. You can take it once a year. They have practice tests as well, they're much easier than THE test though.

well let’s start by getting the name of the game correct, it’s Trivial Pursuit, not trivia.

also MiR shame on you for not liking Mattea and wanting boring contestants

hanx101 trivia is ok but only available on the apple ecosystem

FIL has a reoccurring alarm that goes off to remind him that jeopardy is getting ready to come on

I really just like watching greatness. If you're a super champ, you're in the HOF of my heart, regardless of personality.
-

Amy isn't boring, James isn't boring, Matt isn't boring, Sam is kinda boring but I really like him. Mattea seems a bit contrived to me and Chris is a weirdo James knockoff.
-
It's been fun how competitive the games have been. Great group of contestants that can all compete at an elite level.
-
I always lose when playing against people while we watch jeopardy because I am too slow. I wait and listen to the question and the question readers are way faster than me.
-
I just took the test and it felt pretty good so I’ll let you guys all know when they fly me out to Hollywood (or wherever idk/c)

Ken Jennings is a scab.

Worth noting that the writers have already completed their work for the season and are still getting paid. Mayim is in the WGA, Ken isn't. They only had three days of shooting left this season. Most of the people working on that shot aren't WGA, Ken should have worked those three days so that everyone else on that set could be paid, just like the writers are.

No, everyone should have shut down the worksite in solidarity.

In related news, I got a Jeopardy desk calendar for Christmas. Some of the questions seem really pud.

afaik you can take it once every 12 months so idk why you wouldn't just take it now if you were planning on next year.
anyway i just took it for fun and found out afterwards they do NOT tell you your score. they only let you know that you "passed" if you get an audition. outrageous.
-
I don't know what I wore yesterday, so I don't think I'd be good at jeopardy, but it's fun watching smart people be smart

Yeah I think it's something I am just going to use to pass the time. I spend alot of time online might as well use my time to study for something.
I watch every episode and have for at least the last 5 years watched a lot when I would ride the bus home from school and get home cause in Wichita the time it aired was at 4pm. Past contestants recommend going through this website that saves every game board and play a few games a day so that's what I'm going to do.

https://www.jeopardy.com/be-on-j/faqs#:~:text=The%20test%20consists%20of%2050,You%20cannot%20restart.
I am also looking for a trivia group to play with in KC so if any of you are in the area and interested it would be a lot of fun and another way to dust off the ole noggin. Would love a place that does Trivia like Mae's but haven't found one yet.

Greg I’ve got news for you, you’re never going to find a place that does trivia like Mae’s. If that was your first soirée into bar trivia then you have my deepest sympathy, for you had no idea you just happened to show up at the pinnacle. Everything else will pale in comparison forever, I’m afraid.

They do not tell you if you passed. When you complete the test they give you the contestant search email address and tell you to save it to your contacts so the email won't go to spam if they email you.

I have that desk calendar and have had it for 3 years, y'all gave me a spoiler for today.
Also I thought this was bumped because the guy on Friday's show made an actual Cliff Clavin like error. They are playing a tournament and he had enough money to qualify as a wildcard for the next round, it was the last match of the first round. For some dumb ass reason, he wagered everything on final jeopardy and missed, he went from tournament semifinal qualifier to home with no money.

It's crazy that the game has been around so long and a majority of big mistakes come from because you don't know the rules or the wagering system. Can really bite some in the butt.

I also think goEMAW could put like three teams together for Pop Culture Jeopardy. The questions are pud...

I misread @mocat's post, sorry bro. BTW, not everyone who passes gets an audition, and not everyone who gets an audition gets a chance to be on the show. If you are selected for an audition, and this largely depends if they are doing auditions in your geographical area, you go to a hotel ballroom, or convention center, and you have to take another written test. This one you have to get 25/30 correct, if you pass that test, you have to do a screen test. This is just comprised of you standing in front of the room, playing a mini game with two other players. No score is kept on this mini game, it's just a way to see that you are fine to be on TV. After this is done, they don't tell you if you're going to be on TV or not, you just have to wait until they contact you. If you are selected for TV they will email you and you then need to travel to LA, on your own, that's why they pay the third place player $1000. They shoot several episodes at a time, just a couple days a week. I can't speak to what happens with super and ultra champions, I've always wondered how they deal with that. How those people manage their lives, because you're contractually obligated not to disclose your results until your show airs.

I have a buddy that got all the way to the mini game. Never got contacted to travel to LA. He's intelligent and affable so I was surprised he didn't hear back after making it that far. The whole process would be infuriating to me.
Also, Mae's trivia is the GOAT of trivia and you all are conversing with one of two people to ever win it seven weeks in a row :gocho: (cross post to brag about some stud thing thread)
-
My team won exactly once and that night we lived like Kings. We probably could have won more if not for the fact that we took every available risk even if it was completely unnecessary because we die like men

I would constantly forget to start with 'what is'

When you make it to air they consistently drill on this along with making sure the contestants know how to properly time the buzzers. They won't start taping until all three contestants are getting those things right.

MiR how do you know all this stuff?

Got the W at Mae's trivia tonight :gocho:
-
MiR how do you know all this stuff?
I was screened for College Jeopardy and I was on Sports Jeopardy when it existed. Sports Jeopardy had the same directors, producers, same what they call the clue crew, which are essentially field producers who do the screening, same hair and make up, same studio. Everything was the same except for the host, a border they put around the board, and a cringy couch they put behind the podiums for a "post game interview." The judges were different. Howie Schwab, of ESPN and Stump The Schwab fame was the chief judge. I haven't watched pop culture jeopardy yet, but I assume this holds true for that show as well.

Seemed fine the five minutes we spent with him during the cringe post game interview.
