    Ok, these “second chance” tournaments are getting ridiculous. Some dude the other night was on his THIRD trip. He’d been on some other wild card like event previously. It cheapens the whole idea of “Jeopardy!” being elite.

    Yeah, I can't do any of these special tournaments. Let me know when regular Jeopardy returns.

    It’s…still people answering trivia questions. I don’t care about the contestants. I’m here for the questions. They could air the the show without contestants and just Ken telling me the answer and I’d watch.

    Does anybody know about the dress uniform the Marine was wearing? I've never seen it

    Looks different. Not double breasted. Any reason he would be wearing them? Did he go to Annapolis?

    From reddit regarding the uniform: "I came here looking for this. I was surprised by the almost-black dress uniform. However, that is the tunic of comissioned officers in the Marine Corps. The red stripe that I associated with Marine dress blues is for enlisted NCO tunics - who are prominant guarding things (like the White House). The Marines are such a small service and commissioned officers such a small sub-group that I was not familiar!"

    These contestants are going out of their way to show why they weren't champions. Nearly Assassinated was a joke. Missing Roosevelt, Ford, and De Gaulle. And nobody could guess there are 50 flags around the Washington Monument?
