It has not been on in our area- preempted by the NCAA Basketball games by CBS. Not sure if they have like in the past moved the shows to middle of the night- like 2:00 am or something or not...

Wearing her uniform on the show was a nice touch.

I asked my wife if she was going for a Michael Jackson look or a Sgt Peppers look. I'll give her credit for being unique.

WTF--the assassination of Thomas Becket? In the world of standardized testing a question like that, which no one got right, would have been thrown out. Acceptable fina; questions should have at least one right and at least one wrong. I guess that would be hard to do every game.

**aqua toque** · 03-22-2023, 05:36 PM

Not to mention the easiest daily double in history.

**mcski** · 03-22-2023, 06:31 PM

I thought the Beckett question was easy. Certainly common in crossword puzzles and any jeopardy player should have had a shot at it

The triple crown thing was typical jeopardy misdirection. Weird lead in but pretty easy if you thought about it a little. Actually annoyingly too obvious. Something that Blossom would have made super patronizing for sure.

**aqua toque** · 03-22-2023, 06:41 PM

All-in-all, three good players and an entertaining game.

I'll be tuning in tonite to see if Laraine Newman can make it 3 wins.

Disastrous Daily Double bet tonight.

What is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?

(Probably the closest thing to a real-life Claven we'll ever see.)

yeah not a true Clavin because it didn't happen in Final, but she had a runaway late in the Double Jeopardy round and bet too much ($10,000) in her second daily Double (she should have bet $5)- we can call it a "False Clavin" https://www.tvinsider.com/1086459/je...-cliff-clavin/

**aqua toque** · 03-30-2023, 03:55 PM

Probably not extended streak material (Spruce Moose?) but she sure is fun!

**mcski** · 03-30-2023, 04:18 PM

I’m totally digging her vibe. May her streak continue

Edit: whelp oh well

But jeopardy producers should have made an exception and let her into final jeopardy just so we could see what she’d write

**aqua toque** · 03-31-2023, 08:40 AM

I'm taking a break for awhile.

Until the pain goes away.

**The AD** · 03-31-2023, 09:59 AM

Lisa was cute and her expressions and sometimes off the cuff answers were great. Fun player.

**billyk** · 03-31-2023, 10:22 AM

CBS news cut into jeopardy last night to cover the indictment of some ex-celebrity game show host so I missed it. I take it she lost? Too bad. Most entertaining contestant they’ve had in a long while.

Not nearly as entertaining as the ex-celebrity game show host.

Some entertainment is better than others.

**babybear** · 03-31-2023, 06:34 PM

I thought you guys would be more all about Sharon Stone 🤣

Thought the final tonight was very easy

Question for Jeopardy Magdom:

Is the difficulty of the Daily Double equal to the square where it is found? It seems like it to me, but I’m not sure.

Example: a 400 clue is always easier than a 1600 clue, do the clues stay the same and it just becomes a Daily Double or are all bets off and you could get a 200 clue or a 2000 clue?
