Jeopardy! Season 42. It is what it is

I liked the “Hip Hobbits” as well.

A lot of bureaucrats are actually people.

It’s actually interesting as they’re digging deeper in the “meet the contestants” segment. The “MC Gandalf the Fresh& his Hip Hobbits” team name really belies his bureaucrat description.

Somewhere in his long run, Ken Jennings describes making up stories for the contestant interviews as he ran out of factual things to say.

I’m by no means anti-Jamie either, but for any champion it’s always more fun to get an exciting end where the other player outplays the champ, not a FJ misstep (like Ken).

I’m kinda hoping he eventually loses on an FJ clue where the correct answer is “What is FedEx?”.

I am not the only one who believes that it is possible that Ken was weary and deliberately missed that question… or maybe not. Obviously, if he did, he would never admit it publicly. He does make self-deprecating jokes about his loss, which is consistent with either case.

For those who think Jamie is boring, you should be glad that I’ve never tried out for the show. If I did, you’d be nostalgic for how exciting Jamie Ding was.

I’m waiting for Jamie to lose before I take the at-home test again. I know how far in advance they tape, but I don’t want the risk of going up against a long-term juggernaut champion.

I would be quite fascinating as a contestant.

Jamie’s only one game behind Holzhauer in consecutive wins. So I’m definitely rooting for Jamie for at least 2 more games.
