This is the Jeopardy! Thread of Encompassment [RIP Alex Trebek]

[SimonBolivar 10910]

I thought Ken was a little off his game by the end too. At least Brad brought some humor to his score.

[Prepuce of Doom 20982]

I bet Brad gets his shit together tomorrow and wins.

Maybe? I don't know, he just seems not quite in the game right now.

I also wonder how these were filmed. Are they done all in one day like they normally film Jeopardy or did they film each day on different days? If there is some real down time between games, Brad might have a chance to get back in it.

 

We will see.

I kinda want to punch Brad every time he tries to be funny.

Would be a hell of a lot better if they put brad on someone like chris birdman anderson who failed his dunk attempt like 8 times

James looking to keep it going where he left off. Brad obviously isnt cut out for this

Another Daily Double taking him down to $0. 

[ss13 1832]

And then Ken promptly bows right up. 

[MNLonghornFUKM 8799]

Fuck this

[StruggleBus 3922]

Ken is beast mode 

[ss13 1832]

So, back tomorrow?

Hopefully next week 

[WBT 20411]

The guide shows Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday again next week.  Not sure when the 7th game would be but I don't see Brad winning 2 games anyway.

That was an ass kicking tonight.  Ken could have bet it all in FJ the 2nd game and missed and still been guaranteed of the win.

Freaking awesome.

I really can't believe sports guy James didn't know that FSU was Garnet and Gold. Not sure it would have mattered, though, with Brad wasting all of the DJ daily doubles.

I don't recall the exact wording of the question, but for some reason, I didn't read the clue as pertaining to FSU so much as just the state of Florida, so even though I know that FSU is garnet and gold too, I whiffed on this one too. 

Perhaps it has to do with the fact that there's no distinction between "Florida State" and "Florida state" and "FLORIDA STATE" with the Jeopardy! font?

[strangulation! 1699]

why the emphasis on "points" as opposed to "dollars"? something legal presumably?

[ss13 1832]

^ Yeah, definitely weird hearing points all the time instead. 

[strangulation! 1699]

didn't james make a reference to lawyers yesterday?

[GhostOfTomJoad 9306]

Because the winner gets a million bucks and both runner's up get $250k. Strategery is in play. I mean, none of them are hurting and they're all guaranteed a quarter million, but points vs dollars can change their betting strategy.

Because they aren't playing in dollars, they are playing in points. The winner of the competition gets $1 million, the other 2 get $250,000.

He beat James in the 2nd half last night.  I think that's the first time out of the 6 individual games that he hasn't been last.

The other two are ringing in a lot more than him.  I have to think that is mostly because they are faster on the buzzer but maybe there are more questions he doesn't know as well.  He seems to have the yips on the DDs.

[Native Horn 3485]

I'm really loving this.  I'm keeping loose track of how many I know the answer to, and I'm coming in at about 33%.  And that's without the buzzing in first. part. Sad!

I think James will take game 4, and then it'll be game 5 for all the marbles.  Rutter doesn't have a chance.

Same.

That was in reference to Ken stealing James's "trademarked" all-in gesture in a previous round. 

The points versus dollars thing is probably because each of these guys (well, maybe not Brad!) could easily ring up much more than $250k across as many as 14 games.

Holy shit, I figured ratings would be good but...wow.  They should be paying out way more than $1.5 million in prize money.

Well, it's Disney, so they aren't parting with profits easily.

I have become a big Ken Jennings fan and now want him to take down Jeopardy James.

My boy Ken letting his nuts hang. I watched a lot of his run and don’t know the other guys that well, so I’m rooting hard for Ken.

One of the funny things I remember about Ken’s run was all the anecdotes he had to come up with. I still remember one to this day that I thought was pretty funny. When he and his friends went to the movies, they had an inside joke where they would do a little golf clap whenever a character says the title of the movie in a line of dialogue.

and it always makes me think of Lawrence Fishburne saying, “we gotta fled” in the classic movie “Fled.”

[ss13 1832]

Back for more, ladies. 

[EZ$ 2102]

Wow, Brad is going to have nightmares about Daily Doubles.  

[Go Pokes 979]

Brad’s score is still on there.

Fucking awesome

[MrBig 5281]

Something about Brad reminds me of Tom Herman. Is he in Mensa too?
