So basically a repeat of the ToC + James, but on Primetime. Sounds like it will be a yearly thing where the lowest-finishing players will get relegated and replaced by new players who win an invitational tournament.

Oooh....thats a cool idea.

I'm just glad that 'Off-Brand, Low-Budget Leslie Nielsen' keeps sticking around.

I wish she wouldn't clarify responses that don't require clarification.

She's just so unnatural compared to Ken.

She just wants to make sure the viewers remember that she is smart.

Biyak feels like an average game show host reading from a script and makes Jeopardy! feel like just another average game show.

Jennings on the other hand has the perfect amount of charisma and knowledge and feels like a legitimate successor to Trebek.

Fun fact: if you fast forward through the commercials and player introductions an episode of Jeopardy! fits perfectly inside a hockey intermission.

Mayim is definitely getting worse. I didn't mind her in the Celebrity tourney but the long pauses, awkward giggles at inappropriate times, and unnecessary clarifications are back more than ever.

And I guess she doesn't know the difference between

I was going to give her another episode last night. I made it thru 4 clues before I gave up.

This, good lord, this. The roboticly answered long pauses.

Ken knows the game, he loves the game and is the host this show needs. Leave Mayim to the Celebrity crap games or other oddball stuff.

Yay for Ken coming back.


The possibility that he may not host from the end of April to the end of the season though? I hope that isn't true...

The way she says “That is correct” just irks the hell outta me. I can’t watch when she’s hosting.

Another example of horrible betting tonight.
The leader gets the daily double on the final clue of the game. She bets $4000 which leaves her $400 shy of it being a runaway. If you are going to bet $4000 why not bet $4401 and take the game right there.

Amazes me how many contestants struggle with the betting side of the game.

Oh man the poor bets are my biggest Jeopardy! gear grinder. Have to always tell myself not everyone has the math skills to figure it out.

So the episodes I had been watching in Australia are like 3 years behind. Still get to see Trebek which is bittersweet. Just found it on a streaming service that is only 1 year behind! They had to display a disclaimer the other day on a question about Ukraine haha.

Why are there not more Pirates on Jeopardy?

These are the questions that plague our generation.

You're gonna hate today's show. (Or at least you will hate it in 3 years when you watch it, haha)
