I got the Spice Girls reference, but Alpert made me think of Tiajuana. So I guessed something else, not giving the number enough significance… ---

> [@Arcite](#): > > Yeah those post-2000 popular music and current TV show categories are annoying. I suspect they’re a bone thrown to young women. I’m just catching up with this thread because I was away for a week, but what is with this weird bit of misogyny here? Only young women watch current TV and listen to music? 🤔 Young women are so stupid Jeopardy has to “throw them a bone?” ---

Anybody watching _Jeopardy! Masters_? It’s airing right now, at least the Central TZ, on ABC. One hook is that they are revealing the DDs to the audience before the round starts. ---

Umpteenth example of Mayim sucking: “space station” is not a more specific form of “spaceship.” When the correct response is “space station,” “spaceship” should be ruled flat-out incorrect, not given a “be more specific.” Sheldon would have laid into Amy for that one. ---

I thought the judges should have allowed Vulcan for Hephaestus. It’s just 2 names for the same god. ---

I would think that all space stations are ships, but not all ships are space stations. ---

I’m not caught up to the game the rest of you are talking about, but it did occur to me to comment on the one I saw yesterday: Scarlett O’Hara was not a “Dunce Dunce”. Her intelligence manifested itself in ways other than book-learning. So there! ---

The clue specifically said “Greek myths”. The Roman Vulcan actually existed independently before being associated with Haphaestus, so I think it’s OK to rule that one incorrect. I’d hazard a guess that the judges even put “Do not accept Vulcan” in the clues that Mayim had. ---

> [@Eyebrows\_0f\_Doom](#): > > I have no idea why they think that is something the audience wants. 🤔 According to Ken Jennings himself, in an interview about the Masters show, it’s so that the audience can follow along better. “Ooh, that person really needs a Daily Double, and he’s about to find one. How exciting. Oh, no, he switched categories!” I don’t know anyone who follows the sequence of picking clues that closely, but I suppose there may be some people who do. But since clue selection has become so random these days–_nobody_ takes categories in order anymore–that it’s kind of a moot point. As proven when Matt Amodio found the Daily Double on his very first pick last night, and in the second game, when Holtzhauer found two in a row. ---

How can a station be a ship? The purpose of a ship is to move. The purpose of a station is not to move. It’s in the name. ---
