[malaise]

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah hahahahaha - that was funny

[gcomeau]

1. FFS man, context. -eom

[malaise]

15. That would have been a spoiler

His response when he won the Double and realized they couldn't catch him.

[Suich]

2. Who's the guy who won all the $$$?

I heard about him but by the time I remembered to watch, he got eliminated.

[Hepburn]

4. Matt Jackson?

Is that who you are thinking of?

[Suich]

8. Yes!

Now I remember that show. It was one of the few times I knew what the answer to Final Jeopardy was...the Space Needle!

Thanks!

[Suich]

14. I just watched it!

Matt Jackson is a funny guy...sorry I missed him before but will definitely watch the finals!

[malaise]

17. He's something else - very smart

but impatient to the point of being rude - refuses to let Alex waste one second

[Suich]

21. He talks faster than I can think!

Meant to ask you before; did you ever see the ISS? It's flying over Seattle now but it's @5am or so, and it's been raining like crazy.

[Hepburn]

3. Not on on the West Coast yet

Will watch at 7:00 p.m. my time....don't be a spoiler, Malaise! However, I am now awaiting the start of this evening's show now that I have seen your post!

[Tipperary]

5. What happened?

I missed it.

[Hepburn]

6. On here -- West Coast -- in 2 hours

Will ck back later and if you don't have an answer, will let you know. This thread has me very curious!

[Hepburn]

22. Matt Jackson won -- by a lot!

Like $28K + to the other two not evening coming up to $10K.

The two day finals start tonight...I will be watching!

[Laffy Kat]

7. They took it off in my neck of the woods.

One of only two TV shows my sons would watch with me. I wrote letters to the local channel and everything. How would I stream it?

[Hepburn]

9. I started watching Jeopardy when Art Fleming was the host and...

...the questions were not on little screens but were on cardboard cards that were pulled as a contestant selected his/her questions. I was in grade school back then.

I tape the show in case I cannot watch...and my friend and I try to watch every evening. In fact, I am making us a snack -- potato skins and jalapeno poppers for show time. I really enjoy the Tournament of Champions.

Got my fav sweats on...chilling my A&W Diet Cream soda and getting ready to watch! I am so sorry that they no longer carry it where you are. This is one of the few shows I really enjoy!

[Laffy Kat]

10. I remember watching it with the cardboard cards, too!

I am really pissed I can no longer find it. Who doesn't love "Jeopardy"? Plus, they replaced it here with something really stupid, some celebrity show, I think.

[Hepburn]

11. On a black and white TV???

I think we are giving away our age!

[Laffy Kat]

12. I DO remember a B & W TV.

And we LIKED it that way! Seriously, born in '57 and proud of it.

[Hepburn]

23. Got ya by 9 years! Born in '48!

Think I am 16, but am 67 years young!'

I am hoping you get Jeopardy back. One of the few decent programs on TV!

[malaise]

18. Same here

Way way too long - love it.

[Hepburn]

24. I remember a few times when the cards got stuck and had to be...

...jerked out of the slots!

[rufus dog]

13. Watching now

https://m.

I hope Matt does something stupid and loses. But only final Jeapordy is remaining so he would have to pull a Cliff Clavin.

[Yorktown]

16. I know the name of the winner

&hl

[malaise]

19. LOL

Alex might give Matt a run for his money

[Yorktown]

20. My money is on you-know-who ;)

[malaise]

30. I win

I told you Alex would give him a run for his money - that was a beat down of enormous proportions.

[Brother Buzz]

25. Alex and Matt are worthy contenders

It all depends on the categories and final Jeopardy! Statistically, Alex is stronger on Final Jeopardy!, but if Matt draws categories in his strengths, he'll run up the score and be unstoppable with a runaway. Two day wagering strategy is in play, too. Definitely fun times ahead.

Who's the third contender?

[Brother Buzz]

27. Ouch, Matt got spanked, but not all is lost

He needs to take his smart pills tomorrow. That, and get real lucky.

And speaking of pills, I'm still convinced the brilliant Alex is using opiates. Legal Oxycodone would be my guess.

[malaise]

28. Would you believe we got home as the program was ending

We arrived in Miami yesterday for a few days with family. Matt will have to pull out all the stops here

[Snobblevitch]

26. I just caught Final Jeopardy! for today's episode

(penultimate Tournament of Champions) and am proud to say that I got it correct while none of the champions got it correct.

I've always liked the book and the most recent film version was pretty good too.

[malaise]

29. Will watch tonight

for sure - missed yesterday afte watching all the TOC games befoer this one.

[joshcryer]

31. That was an incredible finish by Alex.
