If you need recommendations in that general area (I know you have some experience), let me know as it was my old neighborhood, more or less.

Filming on the 21st - apparently, it won;t air until late June. Guess they're running tournaments in the meantime.

I'll hit you up for some recommendations. My wife is coming with me and we're going to make it a week-long holiday. Why not? It;s warm and even if I shit the bed, I'll still get $1,000 and a case of aleve!DSafetyGuy wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2018 7:24 pm If you need recommendations in that general area (I know you have some experience), let me know as it was my old neighborhood, more or less.
We'll be staying in Culver City near the studio and Santa Monica (which is near my agent's office and a couple of meetings she's setting up for me. A couple meetings, and the whole trip is a write off!

I'm on an FB group for Jeopardy contestants where we have a strict rule on ragging on contestants, and even we relaxed it after that debacle.

Re: Final Jeopardy! Challenge November 2017 and the ToC
To be fair, sports categories can be like that - sure you may pick up that Tom Landry = Cowboys even if you've never watched a game in your life but "offsetting penalties"? No way.
Even the very first one, where they even wrote in a secondary way to get at "option" was not a gimme, especially for a top row clue.

Re: Final Jeopardy! Challenge November 2017 and the ToC
In some alternate reality, there's a site called BalletFrog where all of us rip on the contestants who bomb that category.
It probably doesn't have a front page either.

I was SCREAMING at the TV!
I know that a lot of people aren't football fans, but "Fair catch?!" That category and those contestants are my fantasy combination.
As my show(s!) will be airing in late June, I just hope they run out a World Cup category.

Re: Final Jeopardy! Challenge November 2017 and the ToC
Meg and I went down this rabbit hole. I thought those were pretty tough for someone who doesn't actively watch football. Normally on sports cats they'll at least give a freebie phrased like "Tom Brady plays for this team, who could also go by the name Minutemen" or something to give you a foothold into "Patriots" even if you've never watched a game in your life.Ryan wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2018 9:38 am To be fair, sports categories can be like that - sure you may pick up that Tom Landry = Cowboys even if you've never watched a game in your life but "offsetting penalties"?

That said it was the first time in a while we had to pause the broadcast and collect ourselves. That was too funny they way Alex just didn't give a shit and knew it was doom for them.
Also I'll put down 500/1 that our current champ is single and struggling mightily to mingle.
