Jeopardy Regulars - spoiler

[malaise]

Here we go again - another five day winner
Tristan Williams - a data scientist - very sharp.

[Ritabert]

1. I don't mind 5 or 10 day winners. It's just 30 day winners.

Tristan seems nice.

[malaise]

2. A big tennis fan

3. I think he's going to be around for a while.

[malaise]

4. Not sure yet

He’s pretty good so far

[malaise]

6. Disagree - spoiler

Ran away with it again tonight. Don’t think he has the level of depth needed to go 30+, but he is very very strong in some areas.

[2MuchNoise]

7. I'm betting he wins 10 games. Just for the heck of it.

[malaise]

13. Spoiler

Well he’s got 7 now - but it was close until final today

14. I have a problem with the Final Jeopardy question and answer: Spoiler

The song that was inspired by Splendor in the Grass was Hey Deanie, recorded by Shawn Cassidy.

Not Jack and Diane.

From John Mellencamp's Facebook:

"According to Mellencamp, 'Jack And Diane' was inspired by the Tennessee Williams film Sweet Bird Of Youth..."

Probably wouldn't make a difference but it was wrong.

15. Yes, I thought I was going to lose that bet tonight.

[malaise]

19. Spoiler

Eight now - not a runaway tonight.
He’s good😀

[2MuchNoise]

20. He had some competition tonight.

He was behind for most of the first round.

[malaise]

21. Yep

Good comeback

[malaise]

22. Well Spoiler

He’s now at nine😀

[2MuchNoise]

23. I'm Second guessing my 10 game max. bet.

Glad I didn't put money on it.

[malaise]

24. Aren't we all?

😀

[Morbius]

5. Five wins puts him in the tournament.

I think four of those wins have been runaways. I'm looking forward to seeing how Jamie Ding will do in the tournament. I expect Jamie to get invited to the Masters tournament as well, which to me is the ne plus ultra of Jeopardy.

8. I watch Jeopardy! every night, without fail.

Love the show BUT, from what I've read, they're Jitsie (Cheap) when it come to the contestants.

From the Show>>>> Contestants Pay Travel: , participants are responsible for their own flight travel and lodging expenses when competing in Culver City, California. Contestants must pay all fares, food (Uber-Cabs)

Yes..I know that the contestants are aware when they what sign up to be on the show.
Still ....the 2,000 bucks doesn't go very far....

Any thoughts?

9. I did not know this

Will respond later

10. Isn't this the case with ALL these game shows, though?

I seem to recall reading it in the fine print on many shows I might have been interested in, and then figured that after the flights, the hotel, and meals, it can be pricey if you don't happen to win. Somehow, a week on the beach in Bermuda usually becomes my choice!

11. Your words are true.

'Bout two years ago, the not-winner got 1000 dollars. ...at least now the Jeopardy-bosses got in the ballgame..

[malaise]

12. I'm learning stuff here

Thanks all

[2MuchNoise]

16. I didn't know that. That's too bad.

[Morbius]

17. I just researched this and I have found it to be true.

There is one thing though; the show does arrange for discounted hotel rates. Which is something.

[chouchou]

18. That's at least something. Boy, I remember when Motels were in the range of 6-27 dollars.

That was in the Frontier days.
PS Type in "What are some expensive Hotels" There's some from 2,000 to 100,000 dollars....a night
