Was kinda hoping the front runner would also have bet stupidly big, and the guy whose answer was “I’m going to lose” would have actually won.

Got it, partially because of a Jeopardy clue from 20+ years ago that has stayed with me (about how the word velcro comes from a mashup of velour and crochet).

@adamplace1414 2 жыл бұрын

Damn. What's funny is that I knew that about velcro, and still got misled by the clue enough to think it might have been Kevlar (nylon, dacron, rayon, etc would have come out in the 30s). Never even thought about velcro. Well done jeopardy, got me again.

The contest who was in second going into Final Jeopardy should’ve wagered only $2000, on the assumption the returning champion would wager enough to double second place plus one, and second place could only win if the incumbent got it wrong. Betting it all was a weird miscalculation.

@trondmm 2 жыл бұрын

@@robertpsotka3525 No, that'll only work if you're correct about the leader's strategy. What if the leader also wages a low number, or even $0? If you get the answer right and the leader is wrong, you'll still not overtake them. You have to at the very least wager the difference between you and the leader, plus one dollar. In this case, $4801. The more you bet, the better, in case the leader is right, but has bet defensively. In this case, I think the best wager would have been $7999. If she gets the answer right, she'll win if the leader is wrong, or if they wagered less than $3199. If she's wrong, she's guaranteed to keep second place.

@voxmutationem3651 2 жыл бұрын

I personally think she has regressed. I feel like if she truly got better, she would have developed a rhythm, cut down on the forced humor between the clues, prepared enough to be less reliant on the cards and teleprompters, and figured out insightful things to say during the contestant interviews. Mike Richards actually was much better than her as a host but not a good person or professional worker.

@ineededareddithandle1438 2 жыл бұрын

Respectfully, if Mayim was more popular, her episodes would be getting more viewers. I read the article in The Sun today that reported that Ken was receiving double the viewership, backed up by Nielsen figures. I agree that the commenters here can be annoying, but the numbers support that Ken is massively more popular among the fanbase.

@susansmith4112 2 жыл бұрын

This is just an echo chamber for Ken fan boys. Come on be honest. Mayim was on the Kelly Clarkson show today and guess what? Talking about Jeopardy she got MASSIVE applause from the audience. Unsolicited. So your statement that Kennings has more support is just another untruth. You can go into those polls & vote 1,2,3 times. I know because I went back in & sure enough one person could vote 50 times. Those polls are worthless.
