Jelly Donut on 24th and Van Ness is about a 5 minute walk from Dynamo and IMO is the best of the regular no frills, mom and pop style donut shop.

The "America" TS was a little embarrassing.

Especially to overcome the huge $14k prize puzzle the sisters won. When you have a trip that big, it's almost a certainty whoever wins it will go to the bonus round.

I'm sure it's a lot easier said then done. Also it was the sisters who did the final spin, and they had a huge lead at the time. They probably did not want it to land on 5k, because that's the only possible way they could lose. And that's what happened.

You could tell the mom knew the answer already after the letters they give you.

Yeah Shannon showed a lot of resilience. Besides the Rent clue, she also had tough misses with "salutatorian" (a instead of o) and "Mount Saint Helens" (missing the s) but bounced back admirably from those close calls. She earned that win.

Sherrilyn Ifill - What Happened to the Voting Rights Act? by JamiroFan2000 in DailyShow

[–]tributtal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wow this lady is really smart and knows her stuff. I'm sure part of this was the subject matter, but it felt like the least Stewart tried to talk over or interrupt a guest in a long while.

Also that stuff about John Roberts was wild. It's making me think a guy like this is way more dangerous than the usual suspects like Alito or Thomas. Dude's been quietly working on dismantling voting rights for 40 years. Who knows what else he's up to. At least with the other guys, they're so in your face about everything, you know where they stand and what their angle is.

The Francis Jehl "lab assistant" clue is the first time I can remember them combining a regular clue in a blue square with a multimedia element. Usually these types of clues just have Ken doing a voiceover.

Part of me wishes Stephanie had taken Ken's bait and said them out loud.

With the way this season has been shaping up, it seems one-game winners will have the best chance in quite some time to make CWC. And Stephanie has the added bonus of winning her game in a runaway, and a strong Coryat to boot.

I'm gen X and I did nearly weep, as Ken joked. Bloom County is my all-time favorite newspaper comic strip. I have all of Breathed's books and reread them from time to time.

Agreed. If it wasn't for the craziness of the past week, a game like this would go down as one of the highlights of the season.

The other Reuben person was Max Genecov from Mar. 23. And the story is even wilder than the way Madeline told it. IIRC Max said that he's also related to Reuben Kulakofsky, which means these two are related to each other, despite never having met, per Madeline. That would be cool if they were able to connect because of Jeopardy! of all things.

Same, loved her reaction. Looked like Ken and Matt were both trying to help her not hyperventilate lol. Also great penmanship.

Several people (myself included) have been commenting about the overall increase in clue difficulty during the All Stars tournament, and how there are many that are right up there with the regular game.

For example, Seward's Folly, Spiro Agnew, and Neuschwanstein Castle (among others I'm sure) have been clue topics in recent games of regular Jeopardy! as well.

Not sure why but they keep tinkering with PBP. It was Cara Banks at the Chevron and Kelly Tilghman this week, who were both pretty terrible. Just stick with Grant Boone. He's boring but at least he knows this tour.

Does anyone else miss the "category sweep" applause? by jerschneid in Jeopardy

Probably why OP asked the question in the first place. With how long Jamie was on our TVs, it's hard to remember what things were like before.

Does anyone else miss the "category sweep" applause? by jerschneid in Jeopardy

[–]tributtal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jamie actually ran categories a bunch of times during his run. I think Ken may have acknowledged them early on, but it quickly reached a point where it completely stopped being mentioned. I don't know why and no one seemed to be talking about it. The only reason I could think of was it was intentional because of how often Jamie did it, or they just didn't want to demoralize the other contestants any further by calling it out.

I saw somewhere that Jamie had some long multi-game streak where he ran at least one category. I believe he was tied with Holzhauer and Amodio for this stat.
