The one thing about Wheel that I never noticed watching it, not until I played it on Wii, is that, as a contestant, if you don’t have control of the wheel, it is BORING and frustrating. You just stand (or, in the case of Wii, sit) trying to look interested, and you have no way to control the game. The entire game could play out and you never get a turn. ---

Moderating: Hey, this is a Jeopardy thread. Enough about Wheel of Fortune. If you want a combined thread, create a new one and see how many people it attracts. Or create a new thread with a poll to discuss the idea. But please leave this thread to discuss Jeopardy. ---

Is anyone watching season 41? Is there a new thread that I missed? ---

(Raises hand) Me and my Wife. Still not used to how much better the show is with Ken. ---

I’m also watching - so far no contestant has had much of an impact (either good or bad) on me. Brian ---

Several strong players but nobody outstanding. No bonehead plays but maybe someone noticed a less than optimal bet that I missed. Several tight games. In other words, business as usual. ---
