I used to do well when I watched Jeopardy. The last few years when I watch I often know that that I know an answer, but can’t bring it to the forefront. I’m not sure if it is age or just a fallout from my Chronic Fatigue. In any case, I no longer think I could compete well on the show.
I would do just fine on Jeopardy as it is. No one lets me play Trivial Pursuit, either.
Potent Potables, or maybe the Oeuvre of Joss Whedon.
Are you Mark McGrath? He tore up that show.
I tend to do well with questions on science, movies, Simpsons, the law and legal history (tore up a before-and-after category about the Supreme Court the other day, can’t believe those contestants missed “Beatrix Potter Stewart”), and the Bible (I’m an atheist now, but I went to a Catholic high school and had years of religion classes).
If I were going to become a contestant, I’d most need to study geography, particularly rivers, lakes, and mountains. They ask a LOT of questions about rivers and mountains.
I can relate…
Give me:
Physics
Mathematics
Sci-Fi and Fantasy
Pro-wrestling History
Philosophical Musings
Potpurri (because, you know, gotta have the classics)
I think I’d do very well.
Another vote for Rock and Roll Jeopardy. In fact, I wish Sony would release a version of that for the PS3.
People Who Have Never Been In My Kitchen.
Ok. DON’T give me:
And I’LL do OK.
I’ve been watching Jeopardy! for 20 years, and I bet they’ve had two hundred baseball questions or more. I have known every answer.
I could go for some NHL Jeopardy.
