This was started 5 years ago and someone found it. Congrats to you. I hope he wins lots more and we have a head to had match with Ken Jennings, and the guy who
beat Jennings in the Jeopardy Champions Tournament.

I never thought a contestant would annoy me so much that he would make me want to stop watching the show. What makes it so fun for me is watching the
contestants have fun playing the game, and Justin doesn't look like he's enjoying himself in the slightest.

The questions are too easy nowadays. Each question (OK, ANSWER) has three different clues in it to help the contestant.
I remember the days when a board was NEVER finished. Now, they always are. And those video clues are lame and pointless. |

I agree. I'd say about half the answers nowadays require that one be an avid fan of movies and television. |

Viewer alienation and avoiding it is the reason the questions are easier. No one wants to feel like a dummy for 1/2 an hour.

YES! Eat it 7 day champion. I knew he was going to place a pussy bet on that SUPER easy Final J.

FINALLY! HOORAY!!!!! And that was the easiest Final Jeopardy ever, was it not? |

Riduculously easy final. I really loved the children's librarian though - and his story about Mr. Bear cracking Alex up.

In retrospect, what could have the "answer" been with a subject of Cartoon Science other than something really stupid or easy?
Just my luck, I would have bet the farm and the answer would have been something about SpongeBob SquarePants. Christ, Trebek is an Ass. |

How is "Cartoon Science" even a category? It's absurd. I'm thinking maybe it's time for me to go on Jeopardy. I'm fairly smart, but more importantly, I've watched thousands upon thousands of hours of television. |

A fitting end to your pathetic and pointless life.
Thanks for consuming, loser. |

I think the lame FJ category is why the champ only bet $7,000. He was scared at what it might be and thought the new champion would bet it all and be wrong.
Cartoon Science!

Right? Cartoon Science popped up and I was "Uhhh....." And then it was the most ridiculously easy question ever, including the kids tourneys.

I knew he was going to bet conservatively and hoped she would bet a ton. So glad she did. Haven't cheered that hard since Larissa lost in the TOC.

Wow. That was interesting. Hard to believe that they all missed the Hemingway answer. He was BIG in the sixties. Before the movement. Maybe Jeopardy was trying
to make up for the Cartoon Science FJA yesterday.

I was certainly stumped, although I'm not much of a reader.

My gut told me they'd all get that wrong. Now that dull 7 day winner doesn't look so dull to me.

Really hard FJ - I totally blanked on that. The rest of the game seemed really easy and then they threw that in at the end. I didn't mind the new champ - we'll see if he has any more personality than whoever that other guy was whose name I've already forgotten. |

Justin wasn't bad--bland but I liked him. Last night was easy as hell although I didn't get FJ. I swept like seven categories though throughout. To the person who complained that nowadays they almost always go through the entire board--that's a good thing! There's nothing more annoying than when they have to leave a clue or two on the board because either Alex makes a stupid time-consuming joke or some idiot takes forever to make a DD wager. |
