No clue on the tobacco/Raleigh thing, but the Brolin question seemed pretty easy, or at least a guess you could come up with since W came out not too long ago.
Yeah, you do have to always phrase as a question. There've been games in the past where people skipped it and Alex didn't notice it, though. |

Tough final question.
Just goes to show to be successful on Jeopardy these days you have to see every movie and spend Saturday morning watching cartoons. |

Round, contestants are not penalized for forgetting to phrase a response in the form of a question, although the host will remind contestants to watch their phrasing on future clues. During the Double Jeopardy! Round, adherence to the phrasing rule is followed more strictly, but contestants are still permitted to correct themselves before their time runs out." LINK Alex had pointed this out a few times in the last few months alone. Seriously, pay attention. And to be doubly sure I threw the question (in the form of a question) to my friend who was actually on Jeopardy! (3 day champion). I'll see what he says and be sure to report back. :D |

I caught that too and wondered why he didn't at least get a warning. I got stuck on Sheen too - never even thought of Brolin. |

You can't not do it in regular Jeopardy, it's that you get a reminder to say it over again.

No... you get reminded to do it later. You guys know that the taping isn't super fast. They'll pause the game
often to double check answers and stuff. They have people there who just look for this kind of thing. They didn't miss it. It's not Alex's job to
catch them though he usually does.

FJ confused me because I read it wrong. I thought it said that both father and son had to have played a "real" president in both the movies and on TV. I didn't remember James Brolin playing Reagan anyway, so I never would have gotten it.

and my buddy confirmed it: you don't get penalized for not phrasing it in the form of a question in the 1st round.
*whispers* I think he would know. |

It's probably heresy to say this, but if they were to drop the stupid answer/question format, I wouldn't mind one bit.

I couldn't come up with one of the men who played president...I could only think of Sheen... and I just watched W but, didn't think of him at all. I only got it because of W, but had no idea if his father had actually ever played a president or not. |

Question, do 2nd and third go home with a minimum no matter what?
And what if the winners total is less than the 2nd or 3rd place minimum? |

I was sooooooooooooooo hoping the champ was going to stay in the red by the time FJ came. I was pissed when he got back in the black.
