Just curious. How is Andy able to recap the broadcast before it airs? Sorry if this obvious.
I am able to catch an earlier-than-7:00 PM broadcast as up here in Canada, our television providers are able to offer us timeshifting.
Plus, even in the US, it isn’t always shown at 7pm. I watch on a Minneapolis station at 4:30 (Daytime J! airs at 3:30), other Midwest places do similar, probably because here in the Central time zone (as well as Mountain), prime time runs from 7-10 instead of 8-11 like it is on the coasts, so shows like J!, Wheel, Dr. Phil, the local news, all the stuff you might see at 7, we see from 4-6.
The fact that we finally have another Alaska champ is neat. Oliver Bundy had a chance, but failed, to beat Todd Giese.
Chip Brooks had a chance, but failed, to beat Greg Seroka. Our first Alaska champ since Norah McKissic back in November 2013.
What happened to Jon on today’s game??
Not having spoken to him, my best guess, looking at the numbers, is that Thea and Julia were beating him often on the signalling device, and he then started taking more chances in an effort to get back into the game.
It happens more often than you think, especially if confidence is lost.
Jon had just as strong of a test and audition performance as everyone else who appears on Jeopardy.
Don’t know if anyone else noticed this, but the exact same video clue appeared on today’s show as on the June 30 show. The category was also the same ‘Where am I’ for $1000 in the first round. We’ve always been told that although facts may occasionally appear more than once, the actual clue is never identical. Guess this is the exception that proves the rule.
I recognized it because in each case, Kelli mentioned that mispronouncing ‘Schuylkill’ would not be counted against you.
It did sound really familiar, now that you point it out.
After going to J! Archive, it turns out that it is the same clue! You really don’t normally see that!
Thanks for pointing this out, Harris!
Moral: if you live in Alaska, try to get the October 28-November 4 taping week. 🙂
Congrats Thea from Cincinnati family;
