Jeopardy! #46

At the end of the last thread, someone announced the new season of Jeopardy! would be available to stream the next day,

It will be available to stream on Hulu and Peacock, according to the article linked below. Starts in September when the new season begins.

New episodes of Wheel of Fortune will also be available for streaming the next day on Hulu and Peacock.

First time that new episodes of Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune have ever been available for streaming.

Link to the previous thread which filled up before anyone had time to create a new Jeopardy! thread. Hope people find this one.

More info about the Jeopardy! streaming deal.

Go away Johnny Gilbert! Ugh.

I had no idea on Final, but in retrospect, Diana seems so obvious.

Bumping this thread up so people can find the new thread.

Rocco looks like he has often used the phrase "Yeeeees Girl"....

What all the ugliness about Johnny Gilbert, r4??

Vichysoisse!!!

The new champ is very cute. From certain angles.

Octo-poos-es?....Probably the closest he has ever come to an actual pussy. LoL

He's cute, though not my type. Must have been something for him in that hamlet of a "hometown" indeed! Guessed Barcelona, but strongly considered Marseilles as well.

Ones I knew, they didn't: Arkansas river, withdrawing room, boudoir, conservatory, and Pittsburgh.

I also guessed Athens :(

I can't imagine how any American would have known the correct response as part of their general knowledge.

Marseilles was my first guess on Final, but then I switched to Barcelona.

New champ Klay has very prominent (distracting) teeth.

I was again rooting for Rocco - who's surprisingly sweet for an Italian guy from Staten Island.

I thought Klay looked like a male version of Carly Simon.

Oh, no. Missed it last night. Rocco gone already???

Rocco was easily overpowered by the other 2 throughout the game last night.

Rocco’s a cutie.

Heh heh, have you all seen Austin Rogers, former Jeopardy Champ giving commentary on one of those history channel programs?

The new Henry Winkler program, Hazardous History.

I'm so annoyed by the new guy also he's gayer than I am even on the gayest day of my life.

Sad to see Klay go! He looked very cute when he smiled without opening his mouth.

New champ is boring. Surprised that Klay missed FJ. And that the lady failed with Gore v Bush.

YORRICK???? And not even spelled correctly.

FJ seemed pretty easy to me.

Happy for the cute new champ.

HOT JASON!!

Dave gets to go home to his clueless wife.

Agreed, R25. Yes, R24, Yorick was one of the most bizarre answers yet. R26: I'm giving up on these married men who ping, including tonight's winner.

I guessed Final correctly, but a question for my fellow geezers: hasn't everyone seen [italic]I, Claudius[/italic]? Masterpiece Theatre for me first-run back then.

I got FJ as well.

The new winner is a cutie for sure.

r27, Claudius was a gimme for me.

I will admit I missed FJ. I guessed Richard Burton, but even as I said it, I thought he was already dead by 1991.

Jason was a great player. Glad he won.

For Final, I guessed Alec Guinness. Turns out he died in 2000, so I was off by nine years.

I guessed Gielgud.

I hate Stephanie with every fiber of my being.

Jason is married to a woman??? Does she know?

And they continue with that shit ass before and after category.

jFC!!

It gave Jason such a hard time.

You could tell Jason was getting pissed at Lazy Dad stealing his answers and money.

I think he was more pissed at Lazy Dad finding the DDs (DJs?). And more pissed at himself for neglecting to form his response as a question.

I had to laught at "Straight" Jason getting pissed off at the stay at home dad for getting his answers, but it was his own fault for being an idiot.

If you're going to buzz in when you're still formulating the response in your head, at least learn from Matt Amodio, who always immediately said "What's" before coming up with the response.

One goof up I can understand, but after that you're a knucklehead.

I still won so suck me, r38!

Not R38 but I'd suck the socks off you Jason!

I knew Jason was doomed tonight when he showed up in that hideous flesh-colored t shirt.

Had to wonder if they would have accepted They Shoot Horses, Don't They? without forming it into a question as it's already a question.

Agreed on the shirt, R41. Lizzie Eustace is a DL icon for sure! Chrysanthemum seemed obvious to me also, had no idea of Final.

Loved the lilac sweater!

Lizzie Eustace is not in Can You Forgive Her? She only only appears in The Eustace Diamonds, but yes! She is a DL icon..

I had no idea on Final Jeopardy. I guessed Lost as well.

I knew Yellowjackets and have never seen the series so I expected all 3 to get it. I thought it was surprising that the new champ bet so little money (presumably an easy FJ category) but it worked out for him anyway.

I knew that, R44. Was shocked none of them knew of Trollope.

Maybe it is different when you're a contestant on that stage but I was shocked none of them knew the Frida Kahlo question.

Any shirtless pix of [bold] Scottie the Hottie? [/bold]

Is he a gay or just a straight demon baker?

He is definitely gay. He looks like the guy whose boyfriend is exactly like him. So help me, if he starts blabbering about a girlfriend tomorrow I am going to throw a brick thru my television..

No straight man is wearing that purple sweater. You know when he bought it he thought about how FABULOUS he looks in it.

Well, he was completely correct about that, R52!

[quote]So help me, if he starts blabbering about a girlfriend tomorrow I am going to throw a brick thru my television.

Yeah, enough already with these straight gay guys!

Although I suspect with Scottie we finally have the real deal, especially given his love of baking.

The bakers can fool you. (Or themselves.)

I had no idea what the two nations were in the Final Jeopardy clue. I was rooting for the guy in the middle.

Great game! And I guessed correctly for FJ. Really shocked the cute guy in the middle didn't bet more money.

Ricky and Scott look like they could be boyfriends.

That interview with Scott was "Tell me you're gay, without telling me you're gay." Ricky was quite cute, also. Figured final was Switzerland, but forgot about Italy, thinking France.

I did guess half correctly: I said Switzerland and Germany.

Completely forgot about Italy.

That was a huge win.

Because Ricky gambled and bet it all on his DD forging ahead of Scott, I think Scott smartly realized he needed to bet it all on FJ. And it paid off.

Hot Marine, and former champion Tyler Vandenberg is running as a democrat in CA in the 3rd congressional district which includes parts of Sacramento.

Is Tyler an out gay? With that pose, I'd assume so.

Mammary glands?? Would tits have been an acceptable response?

[bold]"my two friends took me out to brunch"----------->>[/bold]How to say you're gay without saying you're gay.

Scotty has a very wide range of knowledge. And he knows he needs to find those DDs to succeed.

I can’t believe I actually got FJ!

I thought of Skyfall but then couldn’t remember the other movie. Glad I got it! ☺️

Good game, too. Competitive.

[QUOTE] Mammary glands?? Would tits have been an acceptable response?

No, because the category required that each answer was an “M___ G___” phrase.

I wonder what kind of gay Hottie Scottie is?

The romantic monogamous gay?

The Saturday Night slutty gay?

The snobby elitist Gay?

The Board Game Night boring Gay?

He clearly isn't the Gym Rat gay.

Now THIS is a Daily Double I would pay to see.

I met Drew while waiting in line to get into Crush in D.C. on the Fourth. He was with his boyfriend and both were super nice.

I said boobies, R68 😂😛

I was rooting for Dan.

Two nights in a row of well-matched gay male contestants.

I got FJ! And then I knew Scotty would surely know it, too. Happy he won again, even without any DDs tonight and assume he'll make it to ToC.

I was even rooting for the synchronized swimmer over Dan and his gruesome facial expressions.

Hemingway and OLD MAN are sure bets for FJ. They come up frequently.

My only hesitation was wondering if OLD MAN was written earlier than the 1950s. But I didn't have another guess.

As the nights pass, the current champ seems to be more and more dour, and I'm liking him less and less.

I liked Dan but his constant swaying got to be distracting.

Humm. I noticed on tonight’s credits that Buzzy Cohen is now listed as one of the show’s writers.

Writing for Jeopardy must be a fun gig. Would love to sit in on a writers' working conference.

Anyone else get (dental) plaque and that the guys was clearly saying grace, that they missed?

Ok, who caught Rahul the queen who was a contestant that afternoon and going to a Beyoncé concert that night?

Rahul = Born a woman?

Rahul looks like a lesbian dressed as a man. No way he was born this way....

Rahul's sweater was distracting. Final was a give-away.

They all missed so many!

Based on his stories, I'm starting to think Hottie Scottie is a boring manless gay. He would do himself some favors by slutting it up a little.

Was I wrong for sensing sparks between Scott and Dan Puma? They were very competitive. Congrats on Scott qualifying for the tourney. Rahul was the pits. I trust it’s more difficult to bomb out at a Beyoncé concert.

I wouldn't be surprised if Scott is a long-running champ. He seems to succeed even without a lot of help from DDs and he has had some serious competition in his 5 games.

That was very hard and yet Scotty got it.

Scotty is a hotty! But yes, probably manless.

[quote] That was very hard and yet Scotty got it.

I have a feeling HARD isn't Scotty's strong suit. He reminds me of a guy I knew who checked EVERY box. Except the bedroom one.

Sorry, lol, meant to say hard FJ!

I thought Hadrian was an obvious FJ answer.

Scott's personal anecdotes have been so lame (being featured in the school paper with red sloppy lips?) that he must be a very dull guy.

Hadrian was the only thing I could think of for Final.

Scott is a killer player who on the surface seems really sweet. And I'm guessing he's a cuddler in bed.

But I'm also wondering, given the choices R69 offers, if he may be a "snobby elitist gay."

Anyway, there was no way he was going to lose last night's game, given his competition was Rahul the gay goofball and that sourpuss lady in the middle.

Just curious. Has anyone else noticed how short Ken Jennings' trousers are usually hemmed? Of course, you'll only see them on his entrance, but have a look. I think his suits are beautifully tailored btw and happen to like that non-break cut and fit.

R99: yes, his shoes are quite noticeable that way. I find the regular wearing of paisley ties quite retro! Gray check shirt was getting quite the workout for a while.

What's with this series of gay guys coming on to challenge Scott?

Did the show plan a gay contestants week or something?

R101: this has been beyond random chance to me, also.

Maybe Rahul asked Scott to be his date for the Beyonce concert.

Ken thought he finally got rid of Scott.

R90: Tonight he got all the DDs and FJ wrong and only won because the woman all the way on the right wagered too much money on FJ.

Austin, the sensitive poet, was sweet. There was more of a sexual swagger in Scott this evening. Perhaps due to his coming from behind desperation.

He rocked the sweater ... [italic]again[/italic]! He's running out of time for mentioning a girlfriend: "Ha! Ha! Fooled you!"

Scotty really seemed to lose it after all those wrong responses. Maybe now that he's secured ToC he's ready to go back to New Jersey and baking.

Loved his mint green sweater!

That was an impossibly hard FJ.

Scotty starts getting flamboyant when that buzzer isn't in his hands. Adorable and probably snobby. Boring sex. Feels faint at the thought of a threesome or anything adventurous.

I wouldn’t be so sure, R10. I could see him as the bottom in “Baker’s Dozen”. He, at least, knows his way around an assortment of buns.

R110: I'm from that part of the state. Somerville isn't something to be snobby about. Basking Ridge, maybe. I've long seen him as having "jazz hands."

Scottie’s hands are very small. And they do seem to be a-fluttering like two little butterflies if he doesn’t have them in check!

Forgot what musical theater question he didn't buzz in on. But it surprised me.

I want Scotty in my hammock.

Hum, Scott seems to perform better when he's competing against gay men.

R116: "Oh, no you don't b*tch!"

Scotty wasn't just stuck on the roof----he also seems to be stuck in a closet. He's probably the Gay who thinks his entire family thinks he's straight.

[bold]"I will NOT discuss my sexual preference in ANY way!! N0 FUCKING WAY I'm a STAR!! I've got a roof story!! Take it or leave it, you ungrateful bitches!!!"----------------->>[/bold]Scotty yelling at the staff 2 minutes before airtime.

BRAVO Scotty for pulling that big win without any DDs! He really came from behind to win his 7th game!!

I applaud these contestants every night for truly keeping a straight face before they reveal their FJ responses. I really thought tonight none of them had it correctly.

R120 = Why are you dropping spoilers? People are still watching....FU

The middle guy tonight was weird. Glad the tubbo didn’t win. Go Scott!!

How easy was FJ?

Scott is en fuego 🥵🥵🔥🔥

r122, why would you come to this thread at 8 pm EST if you don't want to hear about today's game? What are you looking for here before watching the game?

I thought of Liz Taylor’s violet eyes 👀. Very surprised they all answered correctly. I do applaud the Jeopardy staff for trying to acknowledge the force of hip hop in the final nobody guessed the other day. Was the Lil Nas X number one a memorable single?

[quote]why would you come to this thread at 8 pm EST if you don't want to hear about today's game? What are you looking for here before watching the game?

R125 = Actually the game was still on for another 15 minutes. And [bold] YOU remind me of telemarketer who once said to me if I don't want unsolicited calls I shouldn't answer my phone. [/bold]. That's your mindset. You did this a couple of days ago and I let it ride because I figured it was a one time deal. Do NOT come here to spoil the ending. You really need someone to tell you that? Go create a Jeopardy Spoilers Thread. Oh---And go fuck yourself.

I'm so glad that stupid chuddaring monkey in the middle didn't win he was so annoying.

Also you just got to kind of assume that the day of there's going to be spoilers and if you don't then you're probably a moron what else would people come here to discuss but today's game.

[quote] BRAVO Scotty for pulling that big win without any DDs! He really came from behind to win his 7th game!!

[bold] Announcing the winner 15 minutes before the game is over, while people are watching the game makes the spoiler an asshole. He ALSO spoiled the DDs. Not cool. [/bold]

[QUOTE] Was the Lil Nas X number one a memorable single?

I have no idea where it came from, but I guessed this and got it right.

The Lil Nas X song "Old Town Road" was #1 in the USA for 19 straight weeks.

Who is reading the DL Jeopardy thread at the same time they are watching the show? This isn’t the Oscars or a Wimbledon final. Wait a few minutes until the show is over if you are worried about spoilers!!

WHO spoils the show by announcing the winner AND the DDs.----when the show is only half way thru? What the fuck is that? [bold] Go create a JEOPARDY SPOILERS THREAD if you want to post spoilers. [/bold].

I’m on the West Coast. I don’t open the Jeopardy thread after 3 p.m. (PST) to avoid any spoilers. And then I don’t open the thread again until after I’ve watched the episode.

I’ve learned the hard way that’s how to avoid finding out the winner before I’ve seen the game.

Final was super easy.

Andrew Wang was odd but he was completely entertaining for one episode. His facial expressions, his way of talking silently to himself when other contestants were answering … and that hair! lol.

I thought for a time Wang was the winner.

R133 is unhinged.

I remember Lil Nas X now! He was that gay, cabaret cowboy from a few years back! He did an ad with Elton John. I had no clue he had a record breaking stint at number one atop the billboard charts. As a non-fan of rap and country I don’t have high hopes that I’ll take to his single. Not that it matters a bit at this point.

Lil Nas X ripped his pants in an SNL performance and knocked over 3 people and a drum set.

Lil Nas X has a huge chocolate stick! Yum yum yum!

I would have written “Little Naz X”. That would have given Ken a tingle.

^Lil Naz X
