This is me as well. Not sure if the magic left with Trebek or the guest host debacles but it isn't the same.

I think the recent episodes, as well as the National College Tournament has had some really close and exciting games. Ken’s the perfect host for the syndicated version and Mayim is a better fit for hosting the younger contestants in the primetime events.
Saw a post from yesterday’s winner saying she didn’t realize her wagering mistake until she was finished writing down her FJ answer and was dreading the fan criticism she feared she’s be getting for months after her taping date. Fortunately, it didn’t cost her. I was rooting for her after hearing about her cancer story.

Another massive betting fail tonight that cost her the game
Bet everything when in the lead. Senseless

Margaret's wager was unfortunate, it looks like math wasn't her strong suit at all. She underbet in previous finals and overbet this time. Hope it doesn't cost her a TOC spot.
As fellow anxiety sufferer she was very memorable and I liked her a lot.

The current champion reminds me of Bialik.

I'm just catching up with the episode from last Friday. Laura lets out a little, "mmm", whenever she gets a question wrong. I don't know why, I find it so funny.

My wife noticed that they blurred Amy's mouth and muted her mic every time she got an answer wrong.
It just made me like her all that much more. Its what I would do.
Come on, lets get us some uncensored Jeopardy!

The cast of season 3 for The Chase was just announced. Ken won't be returning, which hopefully means that he will soon be announced as full-time Jeopardy! host.

Fingers firmly crossed for this.
He was always the frontrunner and he's been consistently the best.
Its like he has Jeopardy in his blood. He's got the pedigree and the chops.

I don't normally notice how the host paces the game. But Ken clearly speeds up when there's less than a minute to go and several clues left on the board.
The other day I didn't think they'd finish the round, and sure enough they did.
It has to be Ken moving forward, it just does.

This is the thing, you really shouldnt notice how the host paces the show, its just something that they do.
You only notice it when its being done poorly.
Ken is excellent at it. I think I mentioned it before, I'm watching for the clues, I want to see what they are and if I know them, thats the fun for me, so when they leave a bunch of clues on the board its annoying.

Gotta brag, Nova Scotia representing!
While I don't know her, she was easy to get behind on the show, showed that East Coast personality.
I've been to Church's many a time. It's around the corner from my buddy's place. They're also an associate dealer for the NSLC so you can get beer there outside of the regular liquor store hours.

She's awful. She won't ask you to be more specific if need be, usually the host gives a freebie if contestants forget their phrasing, she won't. How often do they run out of time?

She had a monster game today with 35/60 correct. Hopefully we'll be seeing her for a while.
I just wish she would wager more.

Super easy Final Jeopardy that shockingly the other two contestants whiffed at, means Canadian (*cough*Nova Scotian*cough*) Mattea Roach qualifies for the Torunament of Champions!
