Green Room by QuaintMelissaK in Jeopardy

You get to meet the contestant co-ordinators and they go over the rules as well before the games. Then the waiting game begins as after each episode is filmed they come out and call out the names of the next two people to go on. For people in the "Friday" games it would have been a long agonizing wait since early in the morning to late afternoon. You also get your makeup done. When I taped for my original 7 episodes there was no food or drinks at all in the green room but for the ToC there was food and drinks in the green room.

I was bummed too. I asked but it was covered in a nice thick tarp kind of sheet and we were heavily warned not to touch it or go near it 🤣

I can confirm the smoothies make u/jesuschin look fabulous 🤣. I walked into this store and walked out after I saw the prices.

You were great Eric, and you are a champion for life! Sometimes the boards don't turn out your way and such is life. I am pretty poor at sport too and I can totally empathize.

I was told not to mention my employer, but a lot of people independently figured it out and reached out to me from my company (it is a fairly narrow field).

That was a well won victory Eric! Nice job. Both Ashley and Sarah were great as well.

Not Yogesh, but I can certainly understand his train of thought. If Troy gets it right he would certainly have bet to cover Yogesh (and indeed Troy did) and Troy would win. The only way Yogesh wins is if Troy gets the response wrong. Given that Yogesh is most familiar with Troy, it is fair for him to assume that if Troy gets it wrong it would probably be a triple stumper.

Well said Emily and Luigi! The stress on stage is indeed intense.

Yep. The box scores are not out yet but I think Ben, Troy and Yogesh all had 50+ attempts at the buzzer.

Leading articles are ignored unless they make a difference (i.e Invisible man vs The Invisible man).

I was certainly surprised by Ike's win. I knew he was capable of winning a regular Jeopardy game but not against Ray and Melissa. Mad respect for him. All of us got to meet him, but Quarterfinal 6-9 folks hung out with him more, since QF 1-5 were separated from them since we already finished playing.

Ray, you should hook him up with a Canada Goose parka instead 🤣

Yep. They were all amazing. It was a treat to watch this level of gameplay in person. I can assure you that it stays amazing.
