There are certainly a number of various news items for me to talk about in terms of Jeopardy! this week. Here we go:
Congratulations to Ike Barinholtz, who, with his father Alan, won the top prize this past week on the recent Celebrity edition of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?

Pop Culture Jeopardy! begins filming today; it will be an 81-team 40-episode single-elimination tournament. Further information about the format:
- Each episode will feature three teams of three—all nine players will be on stage at the same time. Each team will also have a team name/uniform motif.
- Each of the nine players can try to ring in on a clue. When a player successfully gets in, they respond without consultation.
- If a player is incorrect, a team can’t rebound its own miss.
- For Final Jeopardy and Daily Doubles, teams may consult on both wager and response.
- Prizes range from $1,500 per team (eliminated in the first round) to $300,000 for the overall championship team.

The general consensus from the Inside Jeopardy event at SporcleCon was that it was an excellent event. The only major news I would say is that the “live” game that was played in both NYC and Detroit (which, by all accounts, played very well in Detroit) will be rolled out as the Jeopardy! bar trivia game in the near future.
- I don’t really see too much of a need to beat a dead horse, even though Reddit’s most recent “Chicken Little” act regarding ratings is going to fuel another week’s worth of tabloid articles. Once again, the show is generally one of the most-watched programs on American broadcast television—the show is fine and it seems very weird for the group of so-called “fans” to constantly bash the show on Reddit.
News reports are that the Australian version of Jeopardy! is now casting for Australian expats living in the United Kingdom; the Australian version uses the UK version’s set. I’m actually a little bit surprised by this update myself, but the shared set does make for significant production cost savings.
- On a more personal note, there is a chance that Hurricane Ernesto (or remnants thereof) will strike the St. John’s area on Monday evening. Please rest assured that I will stay as safe as I can.
I hope everyone has a great week!
