Anybody see that kid drop an f-bomb on Teen Jeopardy today?

But you’re right, I think the middle kid did screw up his bet accidentally. I wondered if they let the contestants use calculators while placing their bets; anyone know?

Nope. You can have a pencil and paper, and as much time as you need, but you’ve got to do all the math yourself.

Not necessarily. The day I taped, they decided to accept an answer, and they re-recorded the who segment, changed the numbers, and somehow inserted it seamlessly into the show. If the kid really said it, and they noticed it, they definitely had the technology to zap that track. Perhaps he really did say it and they did zap most of it.

Hm, during the three shows I watched and then the four I taped, they let our minor slips of the tongue remain [including the mispronunciation of my last name by the announcer the first day] – there weren’t any that affected the play, though.

blinkingblinking, Teen Jeopardy! is a two-week tournament they do every year; much like the annual college tournament and the Tournament of Champions, they pre-record the shows and then replay them for a few weeks. I assume it’s to let the staff take a vacation.

All of the shows are pre-recorded. They record 5 episodes (a week’s worth) on a Tuesday and 5 more on the following Thursday. I assume they then take the whole next week off. Shows are broadcast several months after they’re taped.

Another vote for yep. I hear it clearly. It sounds more like “fock”, but I think that’s a yankee thing.

I heard it that way as well. At first it sounded like “pock” but that would not have made any sense.

You were on Jeopardy! How did I not know this? Have you got a tape of it?

And in an episode of The Vicar of Dibley, the Rev. Geraldine Granger, on being surprised by an unexpected visitor, yells “Oh, fuck…” but manages to morph it into “…rying out loud!”. :smiley:
