Jeopardy! #43

In answer to a question asked at the end of the last thread, no spelling doesn’t count in final.
Correct spelling is not necessary.
by Anonymous | reply 2 | June 29, 2024 7:27 AM |
“Jeopardy! is not a spelling test — unless, of course, the category requires it,” it states on the show's website. “Written responses to the Final Jeopardy! clue do not have to be spelled correctly, but they must be phonetically correct and not add or subtract any extraneous sounds or syllables.”

Would've preferred gay Andrew to Cat, but I'm fine with Drew's exit. Rather a lame night, no? Sad that Drew couldn't manage the obvious Final clue. Others I knew they didn't: San Francisco, Madison County, Joan Crawford, and Louisiana.
My local station ran Thursday night's show again (has happened before), so watched Friday's on Sat morning via You Tube.

But would Tales of the Brothers Grimm be acceptable? Or Grimms' Fairy Tales? Or....?
by Anonymous | reply 32 | July 2, 2024 1:40 AM |
In German, it’s Kinder- und Hausmarchen, which translates as Children’s and Household Tales—the word “fairy” is not in the title. But most translations call it “Grimm’s Fairy Tales” or some variation, so as long as someone gave an answer that they knew it was a volume of tales collected (not invented) by the Grimm Brothers, I assume the judges would have accepted it.

[quote]And I'm actually constantly amazed by contestants who don't ever seem to be searching for the DDS.
Can someone please explain to me as if I were an idiot: What exactly constitutes "searching for the Daily Doubles" as compared to not doing so? Since the players have no idea where the DDs are, how does it help them to skipping around the board rather than proceeding through one category at a time? The only exception I can think of is that, as far as I know, there can never be more than one DD in any one category., so if one has already been found in a particular category, a contestant search for the other one would of course want to go to another category than finish off the first one.
Is there something about this that I'm misunderstanding?
by Anonymous | reply 77 | July 4, 2024 7:18 PM |
Yes, R77. 🙄
There aren’t DDs on the top line. Never. There isn’t more than one DD in any category. Also, lately, in the DJ round the DDs have tended to be under $800, $1,200 or $2,000.

[quote]Also, lately, in the DJ round the DDs have tended to be under $800, $1,200 or $2,000.
"Tended" is one thing, but of course, there's no sort of rule to that effect. So the only way one can "search for Daily Doubles" is to avoid the top line and to switch out of a category if a contestant has already found a DD in it. Correct?
Anyway, why do you suppose it is that the DDs are apparently never in the top line?
by Anonymous | reply 79 | July 4, 2024 7:40 PM |
They were never in the top line so that they wouldn't be found right away when no one had any money and they would make no difference to outcome. Defeating their purpose. Until the last couple of years it seemed it was the norm to start at the top of the category and work you way down. Now the contestants jump all over. It seems to totally ruin the flow of the show. That's just me I guess.

When you factor in all of the things that can happen with a Daily Double depending on when they're found, how players run through the board, etc., that makes very little sense to me.
by Anonymous | reply 82 | July 4, 2024 11:34 PM |
It makes no sense to you that Daily Double would be of so much less importance if it was found at the top when everyone had 0 to 800 dollars? As opposed to it being a close match or someone betting it all to get back into the game? Jesus fuck. Stick with Wheel of Fortune.
by Anonymous | reply 83 | July 5, 2024 12:04 AM |
The DD issue is really only confounding when there are, say about 6 possibilities left, and a contestant doesn't search for it. In other words, goes for a category where a DD has already been uncovered or goes for a top line category. Those both happen more than you'd think.

[quote]It makes no sense to you that Daily Double would be of so much less importance if it was found at the top when everyone had 0 to 800 dollars?
I understand that part of it, but if you're going to follow that logic to its extreme, then the Daily Doubles would only be hidden behind the highest dollar amounts of each category. In which case the contestants in search of the DDs when they wanted to find them would always choose the clues behind the highest amounts whenever they wanted to find the DDs.
And all of that is assuming that contestants are going to run through the categories from the lowest dollar amount to the highest, which is no longer true even if that used to e the case.

I went to Middlebury and somehow knew that there would be a question about it when I saw the category. It’s just sort of “off-the-radar” enough that some people have never heard of it.
My friend (who also went there) and I were both surprised by the current enrollment number which is much higher than it was when we went there.

Until they got too big Middlebury was just about the prettiest school in the country. I would have loved to have been a student there in the late 40s to late 50s . It's still pretty but nothing like when I saw it from the way back seat of a station wagon in the 70s.

The 1982 film version of “The World According to Garp” is wonderful. A great adaptation of the novel. There are so many good performances.: John Lithgow, Glenn Close (both nominated), Robin Williams, Swoozie Kurtz, Amanda Plummer, Jessica Tandy, Hume Cronyn (who has one of my favorite lines in the film - “You raped a dying man!”).
I bet this is the race that Glenn Close got the closest to winning out of all her nominations actually.
