Jeopardy regulars

[malaise]

Seth Wilson is quite good.

[Greybnk48]

1. He was smart not to bet on Opera.

I look forward to seeing how far he goes!

[malaise]

2. Same here

he's paying off his student loans nicely

[joshcryer]

3. Hope we got another streek winner.

Always fun to root for them.

[malaise]

5. Spoiler

Smart betting for final again although...

[senseandsensibility]

4. Very impressive with a wide range of knowledge.

I agree. Can't wait to watch tonight (westcoaster here).

[malaise]

6. Enjoy

[Brother Buzz]

7. Seth gave Vanderbilt a cold shoulder by becoming a Georgia Bulldogs football convert

Loyalty issues aside, he has the sand to become a five-day champion, and more.

[malaise]

8. Genuine knowledge

and not using game theory. I like him - hope he continues.

[Brother Buzz]

9. Genuine general knowledge is all you need

Them 'game theory' boy's antics really detract from the game.

Wilson is the real deal, and he will go far until he has a brain-fart. And when that happens, we'll still see him again in the Tournament of Champions down the road.

[malaise]

14. Here we go SPOILER

Yes!!!! We have a five day winner - Seth is really smart - did not bet a dollar in the final

[Brother Buzz]

16. Final Jeopardy! category?

I don't view Jeopardy! for two more hours, and I'd like to take a stab at guessing Final Jeopardy based on just the category. Two hours to mull it over would be cool.

17. Geography -river in Africa

Have fun

[Brother Buzz]

18. Oh man, I could write a dozen obtuse clues on African rivers....

I'm mulling it. Mulling, mulling mulling......

Thanks!

[malaise]

19. Think rivers and oceans

[Brother Buzz]

20. LOL, that's no help

The only major African river that doesn't empty into an ocean?

[malaise]

21. Add a country

[Brother Buzz]

22. Which African river has to most names?

LOL, I'm running out of time

[malaise]

23. You'll soon have the question

[Brother Buzz]

25. My wild guess is the Niger River

Only because is was such an eginma early on. Jeopardy! just started in my market, so I won't have to wait long to discover I missed it

[LisaM]

10. I can't watch it on Thursdays so I don't mind the spoiler....

I have to say, though, that last night - and the night before - I couldn't understand why the other players couldn't get the final right. They seemed overly easy.

Anyway, he seems likeable, and he's not a category jumper like Arthur Chu, Jeopardy Villain! which is all to the better.

[malaise]

15. I liked Arthur

Most of them jump

[LisaM]

26. It's become an annoying trend.

For those of us who like to play along at home, it makes it less entertaining. It has also created more lopsided scores, but they are based on strategy, not knowledge. Jeopardy used to have an appealing, egghead quality to it that's waning. Players get a lot of money at the beginning and stop ringing in!

11. every evening me and my 86 year old mother bond while watching.........

Jeopardy. Tonight when they first showed the final jeopardy category, I looked over at my mom & said "what is Aida." When they showed the answer, I said "mom it is Aida."

This is at least the 3rd time I've had the correct answer just based on knowing the category. Once the category was 1950's poetry, I told mom "what is the Howl. I was right. The next one was Sports Cities, I said "what is Pittsburgh." I was right.

Mom hates when I do that.

[a la izquierda]

12. My husband has done that about 10 times.

Drives me nuts.

[malaise]

13. That is sweet

Mom is proud of you - trust me

[greymattermom]

24. He looks a lot like my daughter's boyfriend

and is geeky too.

[malaise]

27. Lucky girl

He's really smart
