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

Very little shocks me. However, missing the obvious quinine achieved that.

Had no idea about FJ. I, too, thought Bill Murray.

Then thought about Eddie then Robin Williams for some reason.

Nobody remembers RDJ on SNL.

That's why it was a good question. Thought for a minute the tutor was going to prevail, but he tanked out early. As did the woman, big time.

Scott is annoying, for many reasons. But seems like he's one of the more capable winners recently and will perform well in the TOC.

R125 has it right - My tee-vee market shows Jeopardy! pretty much later than any other market - 7:30 p.m. west coast time or 10:30 p.m. eastern time. I know if I look on here any time before my stories are over that I'm going to read spoilers. So I stay away unless I don't mind spoilers.

FWIW, I already had the harpies at R122 & R133 blocked. I've noticed there is some shrew who can't stop posting ugly stuff on this thread, and every time she pops up with one of her sockpuppets, spouting the same old shit about how somebody is unattractive or stupid, it's FF and block.

Scott needs a good, old fashioned surprise anal.

R149 Something tells me he dreams of that...

I would love to watch Scott getting banged out hard from behind by a muscle top.

Tonight’s panel is a yum yum sausage fest!

SPOILER, r152!!!!

How dare you?

I have had sufficient of Hottie Scotties funeral jacket..

Scotty Story-------->> "my friend Emily"..............Is she his beard?

R155-Look at the dizzy queens who bring along their "girlfriend" on Pop Culture Jeopardy.

Hey! Ken got nominated for an Emmy 😯

Plus the show got a nomination as well.

Cool.

Tonight's FJ was super easy.

Especially for 3 gay guys.

I had no idea about FJ.

🤷🏻‍♀️

I hot FJ just by remembering what a big deal “August Osage County” was at the time but never could tell if people were amazed by the play or just the set.

I sure hope the play was better than the movie.

Shocked none of those boys could identify Coco Chanel from the clue.

[QUOTE] I sure hope the play was better than the movie I saw “August: Osage County” twice with Estelle Parsons in the lead and she was extraordinary. The play is a classic, I think.

[bold] Trouble ahead.... [/bold]If Hotty Scotty makes it to Friday, he will be facing off with a University President and Particle Physicist. No way Scotty makes it past that combo unless EVERY question is about Broadway, Lady Gaga, Famous Gayborhoods, and Art.

Another Gay Pride episode. 🏳️‍🌈

What a coincidence they keep having these gay men go up against Scott.

Yes, super easy Final.

The blazer or sweater, not both. Only bitton the top button with a tie.

I got FJ but wouldn't have been able to remember TEAHOUSE OF THE AUGUST MOON, even though I was in it in high school. Always surprises that it won a Pulitzer.

Very easy FJ.

I liked Ivana, en thou she was a tad aggressive.

Easiest FJ evah!

How much longer does Scott have?

I guessed Disneyland too but wasn't confident about it.

Disneyland seemed so obvious I thought there must be a trick. Yet I wouldn't have had a better guess had I been a contestant.

Knew it couldn't be Epcot because there's nothing there about past history. Is there? What was she thinking??

I thought ECPOT made sense since Disney World was just an expansion of the amusement park franchise until it debuted. Nevertheless, there was the animatronic Hall of Presidents long before ECPOT premiered.

Ivana is a bit scary.

I noticed on the straight comment boards Scotty is starting to get on their nerves. They don't like how he talks with his hands. He pissed off people because he missed the Sopranos question. And his snobbery is becoming more obvious. He's one of "those" gays.

I remember reading about a centenarian jogger from India. 🇮🇳 Sadly, he was hit by a car and killed at age 114 by a visiting Canadian boy the other day. India’s prime minister has declared a state of national mourning.

R176 = Sorry but you forgot to phrase it in the form of a question.

I have a feeling Scott has seen "Call me by your name" MANY times...

I stop watching when a single contestant wins too much. It's no fun. Sorry, RIccardi, they've lost a viewer.

ZERO = The number of interesting stories Scott has told. He really is starting to come off as a snobby and boring gay.

R179 = Tomorrow is Scotts toughest round yet. He ain't making it past tomorrow. Wait and see.

Poor Chad. Zilch personality and even less knowledge. Bet Chad is hot with his shirt off but not great in the bedroom. I've dated plenty of Chads. He thinks marathons make him masculine. yawn.

And Chad's poor mother had to be present in the audience to witness his ***********SPOILER***********defeat.

I want Scott inside me quite deeply.

Stop complaining about Scott. He's a very smart, well-rounded, modest, good-looking, easy-going winner without any weird tics (well, except for the limp-wristed hand flapping) who we, as gays, can be proud.

Today's contestants were indeed pitiful but he has had some tough competition and proven himself with every game.

Thursday's episode had the Dataloungiest category name ever:

"Oh Dear, They Died"

I don't mind Scott at all.

R184 Ok, for the most part. But he teeters uncertainly on the edge of smarmy. I don't mind the flappy hands. It makes me want to fuck him hard....oh, wait. Sorry.

Am I the only one thinking the GREEN sweater is going return tomorrow? Probably layered underneath the Funeral Jacket?

Particle Physicist is going to send Scott packing Friday. The only way Scott wins is if EVERY question is about Madonna, Gay Landmarks, Tony Winners, and rollercoasters.

Very surprised he missed Tosca. And the Wagner answer.

Another gay challenger for Scott! Wonder why the show booked all these gay men to play.

But Scott essentially didn't have any competition at all tonight, making it a rather boring game

Like Scott, I had no idea on Final.

You think Chad was gay??

Once Chad got two answers wrong and was deep in the negative, the light went out in his eyes and he never recovered.

I had no idea on FJ either but for Scott it really didn't matter.

Chad shouting out his mother was an indication that's the woman in his life to me. Otherwise, one of those steamroller nights I dislike.

I agree that Scott is fine. Some appear to have decided he’s a snob. Not much evidence of that other than the odds that a gay man who knows his opera is one.

Guilty myself.

If it's a steamroller night, don't blame the steamroller.

Dude is awesome!!

Poor physicist, he couldn’t catch a break.

No idea on FJ.

I’m such a moron. I guessed cybernetics.

Was Scott competing against yet another gay man?

[quote]Particle Physicist is going to send Scott packing Friday. The only way Scott wins is if EVERY question is about Madonna, Gay Landmarks, Tony Winners, and rollercoasters.

I wouldn't recommend you go to Las Vegas and bet your paycheck, r188

Only one more week of new episodes. This season closes out on Friday, July 25. Then the show goes into six weeks of repeats.

I hope Scotty hottie lasts all of this coming week and then we get to see him again in the fall when the new season begins. He’s so pleasant to look at.

I like Scott too, but wish his life was a bit more .... uh, interesting? Those anecdotes are painful.

Wondered that, too, R199

R203 .... and then I stepped right on the ping pong ball!!

Scottie's tiny hands were flailing away worse than Mattea

It’s funny how amused Scott is by his own meandering, rarely funny anecdotes.

And he does have very teeny hands. He doesn’t flap around nearly as much as Mattea who really took that to a whole new level.

All that said, I’m impressed with his run and can see it continuing.

If Scott doesn't come out of Jeopardy with a boyfriend---that's HIS fault. The show has introduced him to MANY potential gay suitors. Ameen was a cutie but Scott looks like an "optics" kinda guy. So Ameen wouldn't get a rose---you know why...

[bold] FYI = Scotty is number 14 on the ALL TIME JEOPARDY! WINNINGS (regular play)...I would love to see him take a slot from Amy or Mattea. [/bold]

[bold] EXCLUSIVE DL Sneak Peak of Scotts story on Monday[/bold]----->> ...."so I ordered a butternut squash orange sweater, but when I got the package they had accidently mailed me a carrot orange sweater, and then I realized it could have been worse---what if they had sent me a sandstone orange sweater? That would have been a complete disaster" ...........(((insert applause)))).

I know its difficult to come up with trivial items about your life episode after episode and episode. But Scott was only a few games in when he started offering yawn worthy tales. Now 12 games in, he's putting us to sleep with them.

Is Scott's life really as boring as his anecdotes?

Scotty, dear, believe me NOTHING could be a bigger disaster for you than carrot orange.

Does Scott stuff Kleenex in his sweaters to make his shoulders look bigger? They always looked kind of lumpy and bunched up.

I liked his story about being in the orchestra for the Spring musicals. People calling him arrogant should take a look in the mirror, because they are projecting.

Another wacky Scott Story!!

How does Scott know all this stuff? I'm impressed.

Please explain—why is everyone on here so certain Scott is gay?

[bold] EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW [/bold] of Scotts Tuesday Jeopardy Story------>>>

........so then my Grandmother says "I just don't want to die until I know you've met the right girl!!. And I say to her that's wonderful news.! You're going to be around for a long time!! Do you remember my "roommate" Brad?"

[quote] Please explain—why is everyone on here so certain Scott is gay?

Seriously?

[quote] why is everyone on here so certain Scott is gay?

Uh oh. Someone hasn't heard one of Scotts theater stories.

Seriously—he has answered a good number of sports questions, he did not know who Joe Buck was or, if I remember correctly, The Glass Menagerie, and has never mentioned a partner of either sex. In short, a long way from Drew Goins—and these days straight gays, especially somewhat nerdy ones, can read gay. Don’t get me wrong—I hope everyone is right.

^^^That should have been “straight guys.”

Many of the millennial contestants appear almost autistically sexless. Was it the regimen of booster shots as babies?

Didn't know Tosca either. Do you notice how often his stories are about making a fool of himself—almost getting electrocuted,falling asleep during an exam?

[bold] Scott's Original Monday Story. [/bold] .........."so I go into the store to buy a nice cashmere sweater---we all know I look fabulous in a sweater---but I couldn't find one pink enough, so I start looking at the quarter zip sweaters and then the sales lady suggested a cowl-neck sweater. I said Honey, if I wanted to wear a cowl I would live in Gotham and drive a batmobile."

They went with the math story.

[quote]Please explain—why is everyone on here so certain Scott is gay?

Seriously?

Someone needs to take his gaydar into the shop to get it fine tuned.

Bravo Scott!

Another decisive win. His run is proving very impressive.

Not all of us are theater/opera experts

No, but most of us do not have the deep and broad range of knowledge he seems to have.

Tonight he’ll tell his ping-pong ball story.

The ping pong story would rock compared to falling asleep in the middle of homework.

I would love to see Scott tag-team spit-roasted by two muscle tops.

At this point Scott has got to be just punking us with his stories, right?

[bold]I'm convinced Scott is a snob. [/bold] He is SO snobby he doesn't think viewers are worthy of sharing a personal story with. Probably goes to the club and thinks he's the hottest guy there.

I thought Arabic, for Arabian horses.

🤷🏻‍♀️

I thought Latin.

[bold] DL EXCLUSIVE!! Scott's original Tuesday Story [/bold].....

."........so that's how I started collecting rubber bands. Regular. White knitted. Synthetic. Large. Small. Medium (my personal favorite). Red. Green. Yellow. Purple. Orange (super hard to find). Orthodontic. Super stretchy. Super tight (also known as low ecstaticity--most people don't know that) . Jam paper rubber bands. I've also made a rubber band ball that would knock your socks off....."

They went with the garage story.

I thought the sexy bald daddy Paul was hot. Great smile! Wouldn't have minded him beating Scotty.

HYANCINTH

I got that one!

I guessed Esperanto.

This is at least the second time a Timothee Chalemet question has come up and Scott nailed it again. Asking a gay man a Timothee question is like asking a gay man to name Barbra Streisand song. Easy Breezy.

If he tells the ping pong story and says "it was simply GAHSTLY!" we'll know all we need to about him.

Paul was, indeed, hot R237.

I recognized the quote, so knew the answer.

Again, tie with crew neck sweater ... why bother?

So he talked about the older mechanics not hearing his engine making a high pitch sound due to them being older. All I can say it's a good thing he's cute so I'm willing to let that one pass. And the topic did involve oil changes so he's starting to talk about lubricant which is a step up.

FJ was too easy.

Scott’s anecdote tonight was practically his own version of the ping pong ball story. Ghastly!

[bold] Scotts ORIGINAL Wednesday Story [/bold]----->>

"So I went to the bank and handed the teller a crisp $20 bill and asked for 400 nickels. She said wow, you must be a collector. I said no---why do you think that? Girl, I am here nickels, not attitude!! Do I need to speak with a manager.??"

They went with the beans story.

I hope I am wrong but I have a weird feeling about tomorrow.

Looks like he added a couple extra Kleenex to his shoulder pads tonight

The SNOBBERY is becoming more obvious. His purposeful lame stories are a "fuck you" to viewers. He knows what he is doing. He's the snobby gay who vacations with Grandmother in the Hamptons.

I think he’s a dreamy hunkaroo stud.

Um…Andrew? Male? Female? Brick wall?

The contestant on the end looked like Daniel Radcliffe heavily inflated with a bicycle pump. In the first half of the game I thought he'd either win or die of a heart attack.

Go Scotty! Keep winning and fuck all these DL haters .

I love my Hotty Scotty! Keep it going.

Scott is now number 8 on the all time "regular" Jeopardy money list.

That's damn impressive.

Thank goodness fat guy didn’t win. I wouldn’t have wanted to look at him for another 30 minutes.

Bravo to Scott on another win.

Yes, super easy Final.

I'm in Scott's corner too, especially because he's totally cool under pressure. But if (!) he is gay, he'd better be dropping a few hairpins pretty soon. He owes it to his fans.

Why is there any question that Scott is gay? He doesn’t have to announce it. He just is.

Until and unless he’s unashamed to proclaim, he’s gay, he’s fey, he’s gay…without anybody knowing. If he won’t stand up and say he’s gay.

Stoppy is unscottable!

Tomorrow (7/25) is the last day of thie season. New season begins on September 9th.

So we are the sparrows in that fucked up analogy? We are supposed to eat the shit left over by the rich assholes??

That fucking economic policy has NEVER worked and will NEVER work.

😡🤬😡🤬😡

He's now in the Highest Winnings Top-10

I’d eat Scott’s cheesecake - anytime.

Is Scott the youngest person amongst those various winners? Maybe Mattea was younger when she began on the show?

Sometimes I wonder if producers are deliberately booking dumber contestants to lose against Scott.

The proof will be when he faces other contestants in the tournament of champions.

Just seeing that little photo of Cris Panullo in that chart at r262 made my heart sing. I do hope he comes back for a tournament event soon!

The hidden cheesecake has to be the worst. Has anyone looked up his Insta profile?

Scott's on FB.

R265 I wondered that too—if they are deliberately booking weak contestants against him as they go into their break. If he makes through tomorrow it would keep interest up during the month+ off and especially for the start of the new season, while a one- or two-day winner would be quickly forgotten.

There is a adorable photo of his brother lifting up Scotty in a green cap and gown. Scott had long hair too. Brother also has some hair on his chest and posted a shirtless pic. BOTH brothers bake for fun? Very interesting.....

R270 I don't think they are, as that would be conspiracy to violate the Game Show rules via the FCC. I believe every game show has a compliance person on staff to make sure everything is on the up and up.

[quote] Scotts on FB.

The gay cousin (?) is on social media posting pix of himself and his boyfriend. Also gym pix.

The thing about Scott is he's hit his stride. He is banking big early so by the time they get to DJ the opponents HAVE to get the DD and have to have a decent amount to double up with. Scott also doesn't fight for every answer. If he doesn't know he ain't losing money by buzzing in, which is what killed Senay.

R270 Thanks for the code but as long as they are not giving anyone answers or stacking the categories I don’t think this is pre-determining the outcome (section 3, the only one that seems to apply). Anyone can still win. I have always assumed when they have a super-player they are looking to players who seem strong in the auditions to go up against them. Do you think the player level is always entirely random??

I agree that if Scott wins tomorrow, it will increase the ratings at the start of the next season in September.

Back in 2004 when Ken Jennings was on his winning streak, the buzz about him certainly built over the summer break. I didn't watch Jeopardy! regularly in those days, but after hearing all the buzz about Ken, I started watching it in September to see who this was and if he would keep winning. Apparently others did too because the ratings kept going up the longer he won.

It was quite an impressive run! He was 30 at the time.

And as an aside, I got the H&R Block answer to Final that Ken lost on. The clue was (I just looked it up), "Most of this firm's 70,000 seasonal white-collar employees work only four months a year." Ken guessed FedEx and lost, ending his 74 game winning streak -- June 2 to November 30, 2004.

I can understand the impulse to imagine that Scott couldn’t possibly be that dull and therefore must be keeping his fabulous anecdotes to himself because he is a snob, but I think he really is just that dull. As for his sexuality, I’m not sure he has one.

Scott’s running out of anecdotes now as the hidden cheesecake story will attest.

One of the most difficult jobs in America must be that of the person who has to sit in a room and try to tease a minimally interesting anecdote out of Jeopardy players.

I think they are going to have to start asking Scott about his frustrations over missed Double Jeopardies.

“The answer occurred to me just seconds too late!”

Scott isn't dull, he's young. How many clever anecdotes can a single suburban NJ engineer come up with at age 26?

^how about one?

Aw, come on.....his first couple of anecdotes about baking were sweet.

He’s running out his welcome and even Ken is getting annoyed.

[QUOTE] He’s running out his welcome and even Ken is getting annoyed.

I don’t see that at all w/r/t Ken. Maybe you’re projecting, sweetie.

Scott's outfit yesterday looked thrifted.

If he wins today, Scott needs to spend time in P’town and Fire Island and get gang-banged nightly for six weeks.

That will give him plenty of stories to regale Ken with and shut you bitches up once and for all. He’ll be so graphic, you all will be clamoring for his tales of the hidden cheesecake.

I think Ken is charmed by him and energized by his skill.

He would be the belle of the ball at the Meat Rack.

But for how much longer?…

If Ken is getting annoyed, it's that, like us, he realizes Scott's anecdotes are super lame

Otherwise, Ken is definitely charmed by Scott, and admires him for his knowledge and skill as a play.

Fame!

Not one question about his personal life.

Oh, no! I was sure Hearst was still alive during Patty’s monkeyshines. Why?!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the easiest FJ ever.

They actually made a sweet couple when they hugged.

I’m sure Ken has found Scott to be a very generous bottom!

The tricky thing about the clue was omitting the newspapers since those were Hearst’s most important assets. But I went with Hearst because I couldn’t think of anything else.

It was an easy FJ.

He missed a NEW JERSEY question and lives in NEW JERSEY.. That would have made the difference. I also noticed Scott isn't a hugger---he didn't seem thrilled when New Champ hugged him. Sorry he's gone but I need to see him play against REAL jeopardy champs before I hand him a crown or any other adulation.

I thought Scot enjoyed the hug very much.

I know I did.

I've lived in NJ my whole life and I couldn't have named the Delaware Bay (or is it the Bay of Delaware?).

Damn, I was thinking about Hughes, I pictured DiCaprio and everything! But I couldn’t remember his name. I know it was with an H.

Then at the last moment I thought of Hearst.

Damnit!

NO!!!! My hottie Scottie loses. Still crying here but we will see him again.

At first I thought Henry Luce but then with ownership of two movie studios I knew it was Hearst.

How embarrassing to lose to the jittering fool. Also I'm so tired of all the hugging and celebratory nonsense you're not winning a slot in the f****** Olympics .

Well that was quite the hug.

I also thought of Howard Hughes because of the omission of the newspapers.

And despite living in NJ, I never even thought of the Delaware Bay - if only because I was stumped trying to imagine beach resorts.

Magazines said Hearst—but I didn’t know he owned movie studios.

I knew Hughes was involved with the movies and owned RKO (though later than 1935) but not magazines.

I would have ended up saying Hearst but thinking there was a third person altogether I’m forgetting.

I was surprised at how disappointed I was by the outcome. It has been a while since I have enjoyed a contestant as much.

So happy he's gone

Was it my imagination, or did the winner occasionally fold his hands and bow his head, as if in prayer?

I think the new champ is quite cute in his own right and look forward to seeing him again in September. Adorable the way he ran over to Scott to give him a big hug....and Scott hugged right back. Wouldn't it be amazing if they started dating?

After a rocky start tonight, he (spacing on his name!) proved himself a viable contender. Hope he lasts for at least a few games.

Forget it, Jake. It’s South Jersey.

Different country.

[bold] The Scott Hug [/bold]....YES it was sweet, and I hate to be negative but it looks like Scott was down for a quickie hug and got more than he bargained for. He dropped his hands after (literally) one second but Johnathan kept his hands on Scott.. Maybe it was the crotch connection that made Scott feel uncomfortable?

Not only am I an engineer who bakes but I have an army of sweaters in my closet and an additional 400K to my net worth! Fear me!! Fear me now!!!

I knew it was Hearst, but I had a feeling someone would say Hughes.

The reason I knew it wasn't Hughes, is he only owned one movie studio, not two. That was the dead give away within the clue.

But what were Hearst’s two movie studios?

New champ got a boner whilst hugging Scottie.

I am absolutely stunned Scott lost. Was rooting for him. But it was a good run.

Kind of ironic that out of all the gay men Scott defeated in his 16 days, he lost to a gay man. But yes, the hug was sweet. And no, I did not get the impression Scott was uncomfortable with the hug. He dropped his hands from the hug after an appropriate amount of time. It was Jonathan that held on longer.

I immediately thought of Hearst for Final, but second guessed myself seeing the 1935 death date. For some reason, I thought Hearst was still alive in 1941 when Citizen Kane came out. I then thought of Howard Hughes.

I just now looked it up. Hearst died in 1951. Looking at the clue again, I mistook the 1935 reference to be the year he died. The clue read, "According to one obituary, in 1935 he owned 13 magazines, 8 radio stations, 2 movie companies & $56 million in real estate."

Also just looked up the two studios Heart owned. Google said it two lesser known studios -- Cosmopolitan Productions, which primarily produced films based on stories from Hearst's Cosmopolitan magazine, and International Film Service, an amination studio that largely produced films based on characters from Hearst's newspaper comic strips.
