JEOPARDY! (Greatest Televised Trivia Show ever) Master Thread!

[GregKSU1027]

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!

she was on last night but came in 3rd and got 0 points.

Is Mattea Roach in this? I want her to win

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.

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?

[DQ12]

I’ll take inflated ego for 400, Ken.

[DQ12]

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.

[MakeItRain]

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.
