New Jeopardy host preference? / Jeopardy updates

The repeat episodes so far appeared to be randomly selected. But I think they highlight the contestants who will be in the Second Chance tournament. They will be announced tonight.

I totally forgot the new season started last night. Ken was introduced as “the host of Jeopardy!” for the first time.

Another 5 time champion already this season. Surprised the winner bet $6000 in the daily double tonight, which potentially kept another contestant in reach if he had gotten it wrong. Also surprised no one got Final Jeopardy correct.

That was either a very stupid, or a very ballsy move. Not sure which he was going for.

His FJ wagers have been strange all week.

I thought the same at first, but then figured he bet to cover everybody betting all and getting it right.

For once, I didn’t have to think about the answer to final question, about colleges

What was the question?

Founded as a technical institute in 1900, its sports teams are the Tartans & its official mascot is a Scottish terrier.

Thanks! CM!!

My husband went to CMU so that one was easy! Had it at 1900 and didn’t even need to see the rest about Tartans and a Scottish Terrier!

As soon as I heard tartans, I knew. It was one of few colleges we visited

Me too! Of all the colleges we visited or kiddo applied to, it was the only one whose team and mascot stayed with me (except for where she went, of course).

Easy Final question for me too :slight_smile: I think we need to keep in mind that not everyone is on cc for years…

I am not at home so can’t review tonight’s game. Seemed like the female contestant answered Eddie Redmond or something like that instead of Eddie Redmayne and Ken took her answer?

Yes. That’s what happened. I thought Ken was very generous in accepting that answer.

Thanks. I thought that at the time and glad it did not effect the final outcome as all 3 got close by the time of Final Jeopardy.

Celebrity Jeopardy starts tonight.

I use the term “celebrity” loosely. :rofl:

Simu Liu, Ego Nwodim and Andy Richter according to my TV listing. I have heard of Andy Richter but not the other two.

I recognized Andy plus I knew Ego from SNL.

I’m surprised they only started taping a couple of weeks ago; one of the categories was Elizabeth II, and one of the contestants, plus one of the clues, mentioned her death.
