Alex Trebek/Jeopardy Tribute Thread

I honestly would have never noticed Troy was sitting in a chair unless y'all mentioned it here.

Also, missing Cumberland Gap? Ooof.

What the F happened to just regular Jeopardy? Why the gimmicky tournaments?

 

[Cosmo]

I think it had to do with the writer's strike? Could be wrong though.

The first Double Jeopardy response was so bad for multiple reasons.

1) Don't know Columbia;
2) Don't know Interstate numbering or Ohio geography: and
3) Don't know baseball.

And Thursday was a good day because I knew FJ and the contestants didn't

And I had no clue on the other Double Jeopardy responses.

I watched an ep recently with my folks - and we all agreed that it seems the questions are harder. It might be just the phrasing of the answers or the categories seem to be tricky. Anyone else think so? On some of them, its hard to decipher what they are asking and it kills the players.

This is all tournament of champions stuff for the last five months (or so it seems), so the questions should be harder. I can answer about 3/5 of the Jeopardy! round and half or less of the double Jeopardy! round. In a regular game, I'm better.

There's nothing better than randomly knowing an obscure Final Jeopardy answer you by all accounts shouldn't know and everybody in the room looking at you like you're alien.

Art Fleming!

In the last few months there have been so many clues for which I didn't even recognize the response.

The jobs the contestants have are silly. I've never heard of half the professions.
