Can someone please explain why “What is the Great Schism?” isn’t a correct response to the clue “St. Thomas Aquinas died traveling to Lyon, France while attempting to heal this rift between the Latin and Greek churches?”
I mean, this just looks ridiculous. Aquinas was traveling to the the Second Council of Lyon, which was all about ending the Great Schism. The clue even says “this rift between the Latin and Greek churches”, which is as clear a statement of the Great Schism as I’ve ever heard. What other schism could Alex have been referring to?
Am I going crazy?
Not my area of expertise; I can’t even try to start to speculate. I posted the contact-the-show link; I suspect that might be the best course of action on this one.
Friendly reminder:
Because Jeopardy! outcomes are necessarily zero-sum (namely, because one contestant’s win comes at the expense of another’s loss) undue speculation as to whether judge’s rulings affected the outcome is out-of-bounds in this site’s comment section, as it could be seen to be disrespectful towards the champion.
If you feel strongly that the outcome was affected by a ruling, I have linked to the show’s contact page elsewhere in this comment section. Please contact the show with your concerns.
The Great Schism refers specifically to an event in 1054… Aquinas was not yet born. There were many specific schisms, so to speak, but the overall event of the lack of communications between the separate churches, that lasted for several hundred years, is know as the schism. This is what Aquinas was trying to help end.
No. Read my comment from 2 Feb. below.

Have there ever been 4-game winners in the TOC?
Yes. There have been plenty over the years.
If the ToC is going to be a biannual event, There will probably be enough 5+ time champions to edge him out.
I’m hoping that with Consumer Cellular having sponsored the last ToC that it returns to being an annual event.
To break down the numbers:
6+* wins: 40
5 wins: 191
4 wins: 102
3 wins: 13
Tournament champions: 59
6+ wins has only been possible in the ten most recent ToCs (2004 and later), with the 5-win cap previously in force.
The Great Schism is ongoing. It began in 1054, was one of the topics of discussion during the 13th-c. Council of Lyon, and it continues today.. The Western Schism is the Avignon/antipope (Clement VII, Benedict XIII, et al.) one, the one 100 years after Lyon. Then you could think of the Reformation as a schism of sorts. But as Catholic Church Schisms go, Ryan was correct. I yelled at my TV and awaited Alex’s apology. Poor Ryan.
I agree with Ryan – “Jose Chung’s From Souter Space” is indeed one of televisions finest hours. I very much disagree, however, with his pronunciation of “Jose”
what are people supposed to discuss on here? it’s almost a certainty that many of the comments will be about judging decisions and jeopardy i think has a very poor record of consistency in dealing with supposed rules…….. anyway, if you eliminate those discussions, you most get “that was easy” or “that was hard”, which i definitely don’t need to come to the comment section to read and discuss.
You can certainly comment on judging decisions; the issue at hand is those that insist that somehow the wrong victor was declared as a result, as that shows disrespect towards the championship earned.
(P.S.: I disagree regarding your claims of “poor record of consistency”. The judges are very consistent; there are often minor but important differences in details that turn what at first glance to be a similar situation into one that is not similar at all.)
Thanks Andy for your willingness to enforce standards on the commenters. It’s nice that you allow comments, and even nicer that any comments added MUST conform to the site’s standards for behavior.
One thing I learned from watching the show for many years is to keep the answers to a minimum. Give only the minimum and then only give more if prompted by trebek.
One example is Darwin’s ‘beagle’. Correct answers are beagle and hms beagle. Once I saw a person say ss beagle and wad ruled incorrect (too much of the wrong info).
If I ever get on the show I will keep answers to an absolute minimum.
